i_am_the_swammi Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Eagles announced they agreed to a 3-year deal with Runyan this PM: http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/default.jsp Looks like the entire O-line is back in one piece for another season. I guess, now that the Eagles have re-signed Runyan, added Gaffney, Howard and Barber, and gotten rid of the Cancer, they can assuredly be added to the list of free agency winners Edited March 24, 2006 by i_am_the_swammi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 hugh is an understatement......they NEEDED to keep him... now we need to address the OL in the draft and avoid another scare like this in the future....and thank god Andrews doesn't have to square off with Strahan twice a year...

Swiss Cheezhead Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 That's great news. 1387266[/snapback] Yeah, unless you thought you finally nailed down a mock draft, with Winston as Philly's first pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah, unless you thought you finally nailed down a mock draft, with Winston as Philly's first pick. 1387274[/snapback] I still would say they take an OT with their 1st... Tra Thomas has the back of an old lady and Runyan might get cut during the 3 year contract to make way for the younger guy(s)... we still need to add depth at the OL area as I think that's where we need the most help....besides WR...and then we need just 1 DT...and we pretty much can call it a day..

Runyan coming back probably has more to do with the lower-than-expected interest he got in FA than the Eagles viewing him as the answer at RT. They're probably viewing him as a contingency plan in case they don't get what they want in the draft. If Bunkley is there in the first, they'll be all over him. If not, I still think Winston would be excellent value at their spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
