Well, it hasn't been quite the free agent frenzy we expected but there have been some interesting developments with the Eagles and our NFC East rivals. Here's a quick rundown of today's news...
Undrafted Free Agent Signings
Graig Cooper (RB, Miami)
Terrance Turner (WR, Indiana)
Cedric Thornton (DL, Southern Arkansas)
Martell Webb (TE, Michigan)
Chas Henry (P, Florida)
Derrell Johnson-Koulianos (WR, Iowa)
Deandre Brown (WR, Southern Miss)
Perry Baker (WR, Fairmont State)
Jerrod Johnson (QB, Texas A&M
Brandon Pegues (DE, Hampton)
Reports
-- Per Eagles COO Dan Smolenski, the Eagles first public practice at Lehigh will be on Saturday at 8:05 am. Camp will end August 17th. Here is the training camp practice and autograph schedule.
- According to Paul Domowitch, Kolb will be an Eagle for one more day. Albert Breer reported phones have been "ringing of the hook" for Kolb. Seattle and Arizona are known to be the only two teams publicly interested in Kolb but it's possible that Seattle is only showing interest to drive up the price for the Cardinals. Cardinals could also be looking at other options such as Kyle Orton, Matt Hasselbeck and Marc Bulger.
-- Nick Barnett who is expected to be cut, lists the Eagles as one of four teams he'd like to play for in a radio interview with Adam Schein. Barnett, 30, started 4 games last year before he missed the rest of the season with a wrist injury. He has been a very solid inside/middle linebacker for the Packers.
-- Vick's comments suggest Desean Jackson might hold out.
"Hopefully, he'll be here tomorrow," Vick said as he was surrounded by a throng of reporters. "DeSean just has some things to think about and some decisions to make that only himself can make."
So far, Desean or Rosenhaus has not told anyone he won't be there tomorrow.
-- Chris Mortensen reports the Eagles have done a lot of work evaluating Vince Young. Love him or hate him, Young could be an option to backup Michael Vick.
-- Albert Breer: Eagles players will have their physicals tomorrow morning.
-- No players have been announced to be released yet.
