Report: Eagles working out linebacker Leber

POSTED: Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 2:31 PM

Daily News staff

The Eagles are working out free-agent linebacker Ben Leber, according to a report from Howard Balzer, of 101Sports in St. Louis.

Leber (6-2, 244) spent last season with the Rams, appearing in seven games with three starts before being cut in December.

Leber, a 34-year-old in his 11th NFL season, spent five years with Minnesota and was a full-time starter for three of his four seasons with the Chargers. He was a third-round draft pick out of Kansas State in 2002.

Reid will say that there were other options, but Leber has the leadership skills they were looking for, plus he has a lot of upside.

This is as good as it gets. And wait until the draft when they trade out of the first round so they can stock pile 5th and 7th round picks.
