[SunMo]

his agent thinks he's good?  nice.

One name that wasn't on the list of undrafted free agents the Eagles sent out yesterday is Arizona cornerback Devin Ross. But according to the Arizona Daily Star, he signed with the Eagles on Monday and hopes to make the roster on special teams.

"The Eagles got a hell of a player," said his agent, Harold Lewis. "There's a reason why he was the best player in the state of California when he came out of high school. There's a reason he was a starting corner with the Arizona Wildcats, and why he led the team in tackles (in 2009). And there's a reason why the Eagles and other teams wanted him bad."

Lewis also represents current Eagles Leonard Weaver and Ellis Hobbs.

FYI

They wanted him so bad, in fact, that they were terrified to draft him.

He is not on their official list of UDFA's, for whatever reason.

EDIT: He is now.

Eagles Claim Murphy; Add More RFAs

The Philadelphia Eagles today announced they have agreed to terms with the following three rookie free agents:

RB Keithon Flemming (5-10, 208) West Texas A&M
DE Eric Moncur (6-1, 237) Miami, FL
CB Devin Ross (5-10, 183) Arizona

Despite being sidelined for the first six games of the 2009 season due to a dislocated elbow, Flemming, a Mesquite, TX native, scored a team-high 16 TDs and averaged 134 all-purpose yards per game. He earned LSC South co-offensive back of the year honors. Over his career, he accounted for 4,008 all-purpose yards, including 12 100-yard rushing performances. He concluded his career sixth on the West Texas A&M career rushing chart, fifth on the receptions list and is second on the career scoring charts.

Moncur registered 110 tackles and eleven sacks in his career at Miami, posting a career-high and ranking second on the team with six sacks in 2007. He attended Carol City High School in Miami, FL, where he racked up 34 sacks in his final two seasons and earned SuperPrep All-America honors.

Ross garnered All-Pac 10 Conference honorable mention accolades as a senior in 2009 after recording 74 tackles, one interception and 11 pass deflections. He was a second-team All-Pac 10 selection as a junior in 2008 after recording a career-high three interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. Ross earned first-team all-league as a senior defensive back at Rancho Cucamonga HS in Ontario, CA.

In addition, the Eagles claimed G Shawn Murphy off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old Murphy was a 4th round draft choice of the Miami Dolphins in 2008. The 6-4, 315-pound lineman was claimed off waivers by the Buccaneers on October 21, 2009 after being released by Miami. Murphy, a native of Highland, Utah, was a two-year starter at Utah State. He is son of former Braves and Phillies All-Star outfielder Dale Murphy.

I didn't know Dale Murphy was Mormon.

Saw this today, VORP!

Its a breakdown via beane #'s to project players from the draft sackwise.  JPP projects to 3.5 sacks over 5 years.  Graham 22.5, Te'O is listed as a sleeper.  I'm not sure why vertical should affect a DE postion. 

[rjs246]

I love shtein like that. And I would really love seeing JPP turn into an absolute flop.

[Seabiscuit36]

yeah, so long as you dont discount the GRIT factor, its a cool look at historical flops.  LOL Mcdougle, they may or may not have predicted him getting shot

[BigEd76]

supposedly the DT from LSU (Alexander) failed his physical

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well CROSS him OFF then.

[BigEd76]

Murphy failed too

[PhillyGirl]

Murphy failed too

hey now.

[BigEd76]

bringing back Josh Parry is next on their list 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm still convinced that Trevor Laws is MURP with blackface painted on.

[BigEd76]

Kean NT Darryl Jackson (projected 6th/7th-rder) is the new DT in camp replacing Alexander
