The Eagles have released 33-year old DE Darren Howard.  Howard played in all 16 games for the Eagles last season in which he made 24 tackles, defensed 3 passes, had 6.5 sacks and he forced 2 fumbles.  He played in 64 games in his four years with the Eagles and he made 93 tackles, defensed 12 passes, had 22.5 sacks, he forced 5 fumbles and he had 1 interception.  Howard was a decent player for the Eagles but they like Darryl Tapp better than him.
