Eagles Sign Undrafted Free Agents Cedric Thornton, DT And Terrance Turner, WR

PrintThe news of undrafted free agent signings is coming quickly and it appears as though the Eagles have snagged two more players. The most notable is Cedric Thornton, DT from Southern Arkansas. Thornton is a massive guy at 6-3, 309 and played college ball in division II. He had 8.5 sacks as a junior, but was slowed by an injury all last year. Still, some saw him as a mid round pick after his junior here.
He does have some character concerns stemming from some of the field stuff. Still, a big body with a nasty attitude that NFLDraftCountdown ranked as their #6 UDFA.
Violent hitter with adequate size. Great toughness as he played the entire 2010 season hurt. Good strength at the point of attack. Makes a lot of plays chasing backside. Quick off the snap. Productive pass rusher who made a lot of plays because of his effort. Made plays in several aspects of the game over his last two years
Tommy Lawlor is also a fan and had Thornton as his #4 UDFA target.
The other signing is Indiana WR Terrance Turner. at 6-3, 209 he has a good size and was pretty productive at Indiana. Likely just a camp body.

These are UDFAs
The team isn’t worrying about need. They’re just grabbing whatever guys they like.
The drafted three LBs…

wrong idea
Most of udfa would be lucky to make a team in any other year. But teams go after the best talent available here. Risk and reward types. Theres not a whole lot to lose.
Need camp bodies and Practice Squad material.
Not many LB’s or Corners out there.

Honestly I feel like we will have at least 1-2 UDFAs that nobody has really heard of make the team. And honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if we had some absurd ST battles at camp this year since we are so set at certain starting positions.

I think 1
guy will make it at best.. especially with a short offseason.

i was hoping we would sign Kendrick Burney but i guess Carolina snatched him, dude is gonna be a ballhawk.
where are we getting all this info? Just twitter, or is there somewhere online where they're all listed
i’m so pissed, i was out for a bit and didn’t realize they moved up the UDFA stuff to tonight!

good job on Thornton,Birdlovers
wanted Burney,too…atleast he’s out of division..he seemed like a good fit for us..
Love the Thornton signing
He was one of the UDFAs I suggested back in May. Quick, bull rusher who could see some spot time if he makes the team.

The Eagles have signed 3 UDFA WR's.. They picked up Sinorance Moss before the Lockout...
Anybody else getting the idea they’re about to do something Crazy?

I think that besides the top two receivers on this team, Maclin and Jackson, no one’s job is totally safe. I think keeping Desean is a priority and will be taken care of (hopefully). We need a viable kick returner and punt returner (besides Desean), and that’s probably where a lot of these players will fit in… that or taking Chad Hall’s spot. Turner from Indiana is nothing but a camp body, he will not come close to making the cut. I can see Moss and DJK battling for a special teams or 5th WR spot or something along those lines with the loser being cut or put on the practice squad. But who knows, with the added spot on the roster there might be 6 WR active this year. Andy loves to pass…
NFL, I am no longer disappoint.
This is exactly what I've been thinking..
Maybe they’re preparing to trade somebody or everybody Avant and down?

Looks like the Eagles are looking for a return man.
If you look at the number of WR and their skills, I would say they are looking for a return man.
