The Eagles have signed Bethel Johnson and they will give him a chance to compete for catches. He played in 11 games (2 starts) for the Minnesota Vikings last season and he caught 9 passes for 156 yards (17.3 avg). He also carried the ball 4 times for 8 yards (2.0 ypc). The real reason the Eagles wanted Johnson was to return kickoffs for them. He returned 45 kickoffs last season for 1,054 yards (23.4 avg).
The Eagles have signed DE Juqua Thomas to a new five year contract. He played all 16 games last season for the Eagles and he made 25 tackles, had 6 sacks, defensed 3 passes and forced a fumble. Thomas has a bright future for the Eagles and looks like a future starter for the team.
