Eagles interested in Bills LB, report says

The Eagles have contacted the agent for Bills free agent linebacker Angelo Crowell but have not made a contract offer, NFL.com is reporting. Crowell is represented by Todd France, who also represents Brian Westbrook.
Crowell visited Detroit on Wednesday and Tampa Bay on Monday, according to the report. St. Louis also has expressed interest.
Crowell, 27, missed all of last season following knee surgery and is not expected to be cleared for full football workouts until after the draft.
He apparently surprised the Bills by having the arthroscopic surgery in late August. Although the surgery would have required a recovery period of one to four weeks, the team put him on injured reserve. That issue seemingly ensured that he would not be back in Buffalo when his contract expired.
He is listed at 6-1, 246 and was a third-round pick of the Bills in the 2003 draft.
A 5-year veteran, he had a career-high 126 tackles in 16 games in 2007. His older brother, Germane, is a former NFL wide receiver.

I know this isn't going to be the popular response, but these are the knds of players that make the difference late in the season. That depth is important. With that said, depth isn't worth ish if you don't sign one or two difference makers.

The Eagles are planning something big! Yeah Right, these boy not only sign players coming off major injuries, but they draft them too! The Cornerback from last year.- another potential free agent signing coming from a losing organization with history of injuries. i'm sensing a trend here! so stupid, only the eagles would think of it.— mdriban
- scrubs-ur-us.....starting with McScrub....let's sign all of the league's wounded knee castoffs....incredible— SkipinWV

Comment removed.- tpizza-you're wrong--if this was the Bengals or the Lions-we just wouldn't care---maybe you can sit back and watch the same moves every year (you were probably saying the same thing last year when they picked up all of those fullbacks in free agency and cut everyone because they stank!)_ I've followed the eagles for 40 yrs and I've seen the good, bad, & ugly--so don't refer to me as some kid. I do know when a team is trying to win a Super Bowl and it appears this one doesn' give a rat's a*#.

- Calm down. If he signs he will be TC body or ST player. Speaking of the Bills per ESPN, rumor has it Eagles are working a deal to get Lee Evans for a 2nd round pick.— jt126
- Joe, I hear Bergey, LeMaster, and Trotter are available and aren't coming off injuries.— PhillyFan_in_NoVA

- tothehouse (and most of the rest of you) can't see the forest for the trees. Sure it's frustrating to get so close to the championship so often and never get there. But we're in the running virtually every year. Count your blessings. One of these times the ball will bounce our way, and we'll win it all. albertpa, you've hit the nail on the head. Signings like these can make all the difference as the season porogresses. Most of you sound like you'd rather have Dan Snyder as the Eagles owner. You can see how well that's worked out over the same time span that the Eagles have been as successful as they have. Give them time to finish the offseason before you lose your head.— dlscholt
