Browns Trade SS David Sims To Eagles

Found September 01, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: David Sims,  Julian Vandervelde
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Iowa State Cyclones
The Eagles acquired safety David Sims from the Browns late Friday evening for a conditional draft pick. To make room on their newly-sculpted 53-man roster, they released Julian Vandervelde.

“Solid tackler, can play on special team,” said general manager Howie Roseman. “He’s a guy that we’ve been following throughout the course of this preseason.”

The 5-9, 204-pound Iowa State product was originally signed by the Giants as an undrafted free agent last season before bouncing to Tampa Bay and eventually Cleveland. This preseason he came up with a pair of interceptions and made 14 tackles.

Roseman did not label him as either a free or strong safety, noting that the positions are somewhat interchangeable in the Eagles’ system.

Eagles Finally Riding Themselves of Practice Squad Talent

Via The Broad Street Journal  |  August 31, 2012
As the Eagles 53 man roster starts to take shape, I’m glad to see they cut Chad Hall. I have nothing against Hall, and he’s a very likeable guy, but one of the major problems the Eagles have had under this regime at times is a severe lack of talent evaluation. Chad Hall is simply not an NFL caliber player, and the Eagles have carried guys like him on their roster for far too...
