OT:Derek Burgess signed by Eagles

[italia44]

2 yr deal....just saw on NFLN.....must be because of season-ending injury to Brandon Graham

I'm kind of surprised he came back, considering how he was waffling on whether or not to play this offseason. Maybe he missed the game more than he thought he would - or found his new life to be more monotonous than he thought it would be, who knows?

Ultimately he did come back to the Pats, so he did have some motivation to play. Pats must of thought it wasn't enough.

Looks like Burgess' stay in Philadelphia did not last very long.

The Eagles today announced that they have released veteran defensive end Derrick Burgess and they have signed defensive end Bobby McCray.

Burgess, 32, was on the roster for the last two games.

McCray (6-6, 260), a seven-year veteran, was originally a seventh-round draft choice of Jacksonville in 2004. He spent four seasons with the Jaguars (2004-07) and two with the New Orleans Saints (2008-09), and had 29.5 career sacks in 93 games (37 starts). He spent the 2010 preseason with the Saints but was released in the final roster cut.

Still laugh at everyone who was certain he would go to the Jets and that Rex would revitalize his career.

Your still laughing at me then, I was positive that was where he would end up. If not just for rex to try and stick it to BB. He must really be done.

Desperation. They lost Brandon Graham and Nate Allen because of turf-related injuries. When will idiot owners wise up?

At least the Patriots have quality turf this year unlike last....grass would be better but that is not going to happen...
