Weaver will get 1 year at $1.75 million

I don't like the one year deals either but these players know the Eagles have a hole and are willing to come here for 1 season on chump change so they can prove themselves and get a bigger deal.

1 yr deals dont bother me too much. I think we get to see Weaver and Sean Jones play lights out to earn the real money they though they would get next off season (uncapped) so who cares.

Its either this or rely on a 5th round TE to be converted to FB.

They are saving up to go crazy next season with no cap....

thank god a move that makes sense in terms of player we needed. contract is odd, but they are thee gold standard

I can't help but think we're going to see Klecko at fullback anyway.

DH · March 20, 2009, 03:21:08 PM

Klecko at FB, Weaver at DT. Book it.

General_Failure · March 20, 2009, 03:21:59 PM

Nah, Weaver at TE.

DH · March 20, 2009, 03:23:57 PM

Jed Weaver?

Weaver at long snapper, Klecko at TE, Dorenbos at FB

mussa · March 20, 2009, 03:25:42 PM

I have the same feeling Weaver will be Bucks replacement. Still it fills spot in the roster we needed bad

good thing gold is only worth $1.75M, otherwise we'd never sign him.

Great, another Andrews...

Weaver battled depression in college, having suffered a personal tragedy which he has not disclosed. His faith and community involvement are of great importance to him. He had been nicknamed "The Bishop" in college for his proclivity to spend free time traveling with a ministry in the off-season singing Christian themed R&B music.

Pretty sure they're gonna draft a RB day 1. Weaver's more like a Stanley Pritchett where he can fill in at RB but only in an emergency (2000)

Christ, not only did they sign a FB who can't block, but only moves diagonally.
