The Eagles have acquired 27-year old running back J.J. Arrington and a conditional 2012 draft pick for 25-year old inside linebacker Joe Mays.  Arrington missed all of last season due to microfracture surgery on his knee.  He last played in 2008 with the Cardinals.  Arrington has played in 58 games (8 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 183 times for 654 yards (3.6 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  He has also caught 91 passes for 693 yards (7.6 avg) with 2 TD grabs as he is a solid receiver out of the backfield.  Arrington could also help out the Eagles on special teams as he has returned 114 kickoffs for 2,694 yards (23.6 avg) with 2 TD grabs in his career.  Joe Mays played in 11 games as a rookie last season for the Eagles and he had 18 tackles, 1 forced fumble  and 1 tackle for a loss.  The Eagles can replace Mays and Arrington gives them another speedy back so I like this deal for them.
