The Eagles have released 37-year old DT Kimo Von Oelhoffen which could signal the end of his NFL career.  He played in 8 games (1 start) with the Eagles last season and he only made 2 tackles.  Von Oelhoffen has now played in 197 games in his NFL career and he made 356 tackles, defensed 14 passes, had 26.5 sacks and he forced 4 fumbles.  Don’t look for anyone to pick him up because of his age and the Eagles won’t miss him.

The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed offensive guard Cameron Stephenson off waivers from the Packers.  He was a fifth round pick of the Packers last season but he didn’t play a down as a rookie.  He is 6′3″, 306 pounds so the Eagles felt it was worth giving him a shot.  If they don’t like what they see they’ll just cut him loose.

The Eagles have acquired fullback Luke Lawton from the Colts for a conditional 2009 7th round pick if Lawton makes the final 53-man roster of the Eagles.  Lawton is a big guy at 6′0″, 245 pounds and he’s a decent blocker.  He played in 11 games for the Colts last year and he carried the ball 5 times for 13 yards (2.6 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 29 yards (7.3 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Lawton also played in 4 games in 2005 for the Jets but he didn’t get to touch the football.  Lawton will have a decent chance to make the Eagles because he’s also a solid special teams player.

The Eagles have signed FB/TE Kris Wilson to a 3-year contract.  Wilson carried the football 3 times for 7 yards (2.3 ypc) last season for the Chiefs and he also caught 24 passes for 180 yards (7.5 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Wilson has now played in 49 games in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 4 times for 13 yards (3.3 ypc).  He also caught 42 passes for 345 yards (8.2 avg) with 4 TD grabs.  This was another good signing for the Eagles as it gives them another huge target in the passing game as Wilson stands 6′2″, 251 pounds.

The Eagles have signed linebacker Rocky Boiman to a 1-year contract.  Boiman played in all 16 games for the Colts last season and he made 54 tackles, defensed 4 passes and intercepted 2 passes.  Boiman has now played in 86 games in his NFL career and he has made 182 tackles, defensed 9 passes, has 1.5 sacks, forced 2 fumbles and he has intercepted 5 passes one of which he returned for a TD.  This was another good signing for the Eagles who continue to reload on defense.
