Yeremiah Bell is deciding between the Eagles, Jets, Chiefs and Titans

They need a veteran back there and he fits the mold. I just hope he's not Jarrod Page part deux.

Yeremiah Bell allowed a passer rating of 105.5 when targeted last year and missed more tackles than any of the Eagles safeties.

I've read that he had an off year last year but had been good before that. So the question is was it just an off year or is he over the hill. McLane reported last week (fwiw) the Eagles thought he is cooked.

Eagles probably offered him a very small but incentive-based deal, and the only reason he would select Philly would be due to the lesser competition for playing time. But like IGY said, he won't even make the team if Allen/Coleman/Jarrett all show promise and stay healthy through training camp.

the FA period was pushed back last year because of a lockout

Still lol any FA after the draft is worthless, 2011 or not. You brighten my day.

also dont discount phillip thomas' influence on bell not making the team if he were signed...lets say thomas impresses in camp but because hes a rookie is not as ready as bell...they could very well keep him just because of promise and upside...for bell to make this team i think he would have to have to be lights out in camp which probably isnt going to happen being in a brand new enviroment

Cosell attended the Eagles rookie mini-camp, and wrote a bit about it. Pretty decent read:

Cosell Talks: 2012 NFL Draft Post-Mortem 2
by Greg Cosell

I had the opportunity last weekend to attend the Philadelphia Eagles' rookie minicamp. It's always enjoyable to see college players react to NFL coaching for the first time. If you're a defensive lineman, I can guarantee you've never seen a coach quite like Jim Washburn, the old-school defensive line mentor who's been dispensing his particular brand of knowledge for over 30 years. Washburn is one of the best in the business, and I love seeing his passion and attention to the smallest of details.

Washburn has two rookies to mold in 2012: Fletcher Cox, whom the Eagles moved up to take with the 12th overall pick, and Vinny Curry, a late second-rounder many teams had rated as a first-round talent. Cox and Curry were part of an Eagles draft that was one of the best in the NFL. There's only one way to evaluate a team's draft immediately after it happens, before the draftees have taken a snap on Sunday: Heading into the draft, how did you project each player's transition to the NFL? Based on my film study, the Eagles' brain trust (led by Howie Roseman and Andy Reid) did an outstanding job.

Cox was the top defensive linemen in this draft class. He was primarily a tackle at Mississippi State, but what fascinated me most was his play at end. He aligned outside on significant snaps in each game I evaluated, and showed the pass-rush ability of a fine defensive end with his initial burst and overall quickness. Cox is a Washburn kind of player: position versatile with the skill set to become an outstanding pass rusher.

Curry played both defensive end positions at Marshall. What stood out on tape, and it's not a characteristic you often see in college pass rushers, was his quick, active and violent hands. That attribute reminded me of San Francisco 49ers first-rounder Aldon Smith when he came out of Missouri last year, and we all know the success Smith had as a sub-package rusher with 14 sacks. Curry could well be a factor early in Washburn's "Wide 9″ scheme, in which he has more space to build up speed and velocity.

Mychal Kendricks and Brandon Boykin were the Eagles' other two defensive selections in the 2012 draft. I believe both will transition very well to the NFL. Kendricks is a movement player — a speed and range linebacker with an explosive element to his game. In today's NFL, with the emphasis on the passing game and the increased speed and athleticism of tight ends, those traits have become magnified. In addition, Kendricks was utilized as a blitzer at Cal, predominantly from the outside. There's no question he can do that at the NFL level.

Boykin played in the slot in Georgia's nickel package. The 2011 Eagles' struggles at slot corner were well documented. As I've written before, given the prevalence of three-receiver personnel packages, slot corner is now a defined position that demands coverage ability, run support and blitzing. Boykin, despite his 182-pound frame, performed each of those tasks well at Georgia. Based on my evaluation, he was the No. 2 slot corner in this draft, a notch below Alabama's DeQuan Menzie.

sounds more like he re-posted his review of the eagles draft....that piece had little to nothing to dow ith the mini camp....which is understandable cause nothing happens at rookie mini camps...but he posted most all of that stuff verbatim right after or during the eagles draft
