Spence signed a contract with the Jaguars on Friday.
The 27-year-old was cut by the Eagles on Monday but only had to wait a few days before finding a new team. Spence had seven total tackles in six games with Philadelphia, and he should work in a rotational role at defensive tackle with Marcell Dareus (abdomen) moving to injured reserve.
Spence was released by the Eagles on Monday, Les Bowen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Spence's stint in Philly ends after seven games in which he recorded seven tackles through six contests. The veteran defensive tackle has been on four different teams over the past four seasons but his experience alone could get him in with a team needing to bolster their defensive line.
Spence signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Spence had been without a team since being cut by Miami on Aug. 28. The 27-year-old played in at least 600 defensive snaps over the previous two seasons, collecting 81 total tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble in that span. Spence will provide the Eagles with depth on their defensive front in the wake of Malik Jackson's (foot) placement on injured reserve Tuesday.
The Dolphins released Spence on Tuesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Spence is one of a slew of veteran cuts made by Miami on Tuesday, as the team takes the next step in an apparent transition toward youth. The seventh-year defensive tackle played 666 snaps across 16 games in Miami last season and should have little issue latching on as a situational pass rusher elsewhere in the league.
