PLAYERS: Tom Nelson,  Colt Anderson
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Seattle Seahawks,  Cincinnati Bengals,  Illinois State Redbirds
The Philadelphia Eagles announced the signing of free agent safety Tom Nelson.

Originally signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois State in 2009, Nelson has 34 tackles and an interception in 20 games, three starts, over the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Waived by the Bengals in late August, Nelson worked out for the Eagles on October 11.
