Following upon the footsteps of the prior dubious free agent visits, the Eagles entertained Defensive Tackle Montae Reagor formerly of the Indianapolis Colts.
I can hear you now...."What's so dubious about it? Finally, the Birds are going to focus on fixing their porous run defense!"
Well, I hate to break it to you, but a 285 defensive tackle like Montae ain't fixing the problem. He was mainly known for his pass rushing skills while in Indy. Plus, the guy is coming off season ending injuries from a car accident, so he fits into the category of every other free agent we pursue. Undervalued and mostly unwanted by the rest of the league.
Of course, the logical move would be to find a big 325 pound ugly to man one of the defensive tackle spots to help the run defense, but you know our Eagles...they never act conventionally. How dare I forget that they are the smartest guys in the league?
I don't know why I get myself so worked up about the Birds' offseason moves. What do I know about football? I must have forgotten that Andy Reid, Jim Johnson, Tom Heckert, and Joe Banner invented the sport. We can all rest assured that they know what they are doing.

The Eagles continually think that they can pick up the Charlie Brown Christmas tree from the back of the lot and nurture it into something that nobody else can.
Very true, Jorge
They guaranteed him only $2M dollars and he has to give them more than the truck driver does. Worst case, he plays on 3rd downs to provide some rush up the middle, something Patterson hasn't given us in 2 years.
This is a minor move, that costs us less guaranteed money than Shawn bad knees Barber got from another NFL team.
Relax
