one year deal. I feel much better about the offense now.

Huge signing IMO. I don't think he comes close to his production from last year but now we have a solid banger in there.

We just need to sign a veteran CB, and a LB for depth, and we're good to go, I believe.

Really good short term signing as we did not have any solid early down or goal line options ...

Mrs Carnzo will be disappointed.
Good pick-up for your team, I wish you and him great success.

I am not doing cartwheels.....but I am intrigued by what this bruiser can bring to the offense. Only 116 days to go!

so as soon as Mathews passes a physical, cut him.

He should just stop by the post office for a forwarding of address form at this point.....if he has not already.

A bit surprising, I didn't think he was on the Eagles' radar... interesting signing.

The move has many facets to it, because he was long rumored to be signing w/ the Giants, so you take away an option from a division rival. We needed a more reliable power back option than Mathews, so there's that. Plus due to some weird league rule he will count towards the compensatory pick formula for next off-season.

Howie has done a good job of adding some short term fixed on offense while using top draft picks to rebuild on defense.

Post Office hours are the worst. I hope he can get there before they close.

I'm in the middle on this. I'm glad to add another RB but I'm not sure he's going to make a huge impact. At 30 years old, he logged the most rushing attempts of his career last season. He averaged 3.36 y/a over the last 5 games of the regular season and 3.11 y/a in the playoffs. He should be a nice addition to the rotation, though, and probably the best RB on the roster now.

Just like that we went from having an un-drafted rookie RB as our best short yardage / goal-line option ... to having one of the best short yardage goal-line Backs in the league. We have plenty of guys to run between the 20's, but no true Banger when we need one or two yards. Blount can average 3.5 yards for all I care ... as long as he converts all the important short stuff.

Fantastic. Didn't think it would be possible.

And a one-year coach for Clement?

Gotta love one year, cheap deals.
Wear out the D with pass catching RBs in the first three quarters, then unleash Blount in the 4th.

Hopefully this will cut down on the dumb trick plays they would roll out late in games like the triple reverse flea flicker bubble screen draw jet sweep

Really rounds out the offense nicely.
