Feeley, many expected that he would be replaced with a tight end or perhaps a linebacker to compensate for the loss of Stewart Bradley.Instead, the Eagles opted to pick up a little-known rookie defensive tackle out of Miami who had just been waived by a division rival. The Redskins didn't feel as though Antonio Dixon was good enough to make a mediocre roster in Washington, so why would he be able to...

 They were arguably the two most valuable players in...

The New York Jets are frantically looking for a team to take defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson off their hands before they have to dole out a 3 million dollar signing bonus, and it appears that the Eagles might be the team that the Jets ending up dealing with.

While Patterson could still be penalized by the NFL, this likely means he won't miss any games and will instead get some type of monetary penalty. This is definitely good news for the Eagles, although Patterson was never likely to get a serious penalty because it was his first ...
