The Eagles have signed 25-year old WR Mardy Gilyard to a reserve/futures contract. Gilyard didn’t play with anyone in the NFL in 2011. He played in 11 games as a rookie for the Rams in 2010 and he caught 6 passes for 63 yards (10.5 avg). He also returned 16 kickoffs for 356 yards (22.3 avg) and he also had 3 tackles. Gilyard will be a longshot to win a job on the Eagles in 2012.
