The Eagles have signed 26-year old running back Dwayne Wright to a 2-year deal. He only played one year with the Bills (2007) and he appeared in 15 games in which he carried the ball 29 times for 94 yards (3.2 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 17 yards (5.7 avg). Wright also returned 1 kickoff for 0 yards and he made 3 tackles. I’m not so sure what the Eagles see in Wright but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
The Eagles have signed 25-year old CB Ramzee Robinson. Robinson played in 13 games for the Lions last year and he compiled 24 tackles and defensed 1 pass. He has now played in 19 games in his two year NFL career and he has made 31 tackles and defensed 1 pass. This is the Eagles scraping the bottom of the barrel to try to find some help for their depleted secondary.
The Eagles have signed undrafted running back P.J. Hill off the Saints’ practice squad. He definately has a lot of talent and he showed it in the pre-season for the Saints but he was caught in a numbers games there with the depth that they have at running back. Hill will back up Lesean McCoy and Eldra Buckley until Brian Westbrook is healthy enough to return to action. This was a good move for the Eagles.
The Eagles have signed 32-year old linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. Trotter last played in the NFL in 2007 with the Buccaneers. Trotter has played in 134 games in his NFL career in which he has made 876 tackles, has defensed 50 passes, 12 1/2 sacks, forced 8 fumbles and he has picked off 9 passes (2 returned for a TD). Trotter played 7 years for the Eagles earlier in his career and he’s glad to be coming back to the City of Brotherly Love. This was a good move for the Eagles.
The Eagles have signed 24-year old TE Martin Rucker to the practice squad. He played in 5 games (1 start) for the Browns last season and he caught 2 passes for 17 yards (8.5 avg). Despite not showing much with the Browns he was a good receiver in college at Missouri so maybe he can help the Eagles down the road.
