The Eagles have signed ex Bengals LB Rashad Jeanty. He started 32 games for the Bengals from 2006-2009 and was a standout on special teams before breaking his fibula while blocking for Bernard Scott on his 56 yard touchdown return during the Bengals 2009 wild card playoff game. He hasn't played since as the Bengals released him back in the 2010 preseason. For the Eagles he simply adds what a little veteran depth the Eagles can add until a new CBA is signed. At most for the Birds he'll be a special teams player or he won't make the team at all.
In other more somber Bird's news, hall of fame running back Ollie Matson, who spent his last 3 seasons with the Eagles from 1964-1966, died Sunday of respiratory failure. He was 80 years old.
