Ex-Eagle Shawn Barber signed with his former team last week, the only significant signing the team has made this off-season. Of the free agents on the market that the Eagles were rumored to be interested in, none chose Philly:
WR Reggie Wayne stayed in Indianapolis with the Colts, who signed Wayne to a multi-year deal.
C LeCharles Bentley of the Saints went to Cleveland:
"He only had one team on his mind - the Cleveland Browns," said Jonathan Feinsod, one of the agents representing Bentley. "He's from Cleveland, he went to Ohio State, and that's where he wanted to play. I heard the rumors about the Eagles, but I don't know where they came from."
OL Steve Hutchinson, signed to an offer sheet by the Vikings, will go there or stay with Seattle if the Seahawks match Minnesota's offer.
WR/PR Antwaan Randle El reportedly will go to Washington.
WR Joe Jurevicius went to Cleveland.
T Jon Runyan is basically gone...hopefully not to Dallas.
So where does this leave the Eagles? Going nowhere fast. They will likely take a look at QB Jeff Garcia, though Garcia still wants to start, as does ex-Bengal Jon Kitna. Josh McCown of the Cardinals also looks appealing, since his days in Tempe may be limited by starter Kurt Warner. WR Eric Moulds will also be discussed.
So far, a disappointing beginning for a team known for lightning strikes in Free Agency. When you're 6-10, you're more than just "one player away."
