Number5 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4000682 Good pick up. Team now has a real FB. Do you guys think the Eagles will actually run the ball now? My head says yes, but my heart says no....good thing he is a threat out of the backfield...running and receiving.

Skins4SB Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Solid signing. He is definitely a receiving threat out of the backfield. I'm not sure how much of a run blocker he is considering I didn't watch many Seahawks games and the Seahawks didn't run the ball well last year.

SteveFromYellowstone Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Amazing signing for the Eagles. He can block, and he had two 60+ yard receiving touchdowns this year. Too bad he was a free agent before Sellers retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Love the signing. FBs don't make ****. I'd just franchise him for the next 4 years if he doesn't want to sign a long term contract. The franchise amount is probably less than what he got for this 1 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Weirdo Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Good signing. Wish it was more than a year. Feels more and more like this uncapped year is gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dockeryfan Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 This is maybe the only case of a guy who came to the Eagles, got an offer, left to shop it around, and actually came back to end up signing with the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Zornography Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I had been wishing all offseason that we would have given this dude a look. I think he is the real deal as far as fullbacks go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team targeting a fullback is as useless as tits on a bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFromYellowstone Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 He had a 20 yard TD run against us in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockeryfan Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 He had a 20 yard TD run against us in the playoffs no no no. Weaver's good. He's a good signing. I was just saying the Redskins have greater needs. I have no idea how he'll fit in with the Eagles. In years past, the FB just gets lost in that scheme. He's talented, though.

Westbrook36 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 This is maybe the only case of a guy who came to the Eagles, got an offer, left to shop it around, and actually came back to end up signing with the Eagles. It's because Banner had nothing to do with the signing. Recently hired Brandt saved the deal. The Eagles have signed fullback Leonard Weaver to a one-year deal, just when it seemed their interest in Weaver had cooled.Weaver's agent, Harold Lewis, acknowledged as much after the signing was announced Friday -- Lewis said he thought he was concluding "a three-horse race" among Seattle, Tampa Bay and Houston, but Andrew Brandt, hired last month by the Birds' front office, called "and we started goofing around" with different ways to get Weaver to the Eagles, where Weaver and Lewis wanted to go all along, Lewis said.
