Ingram and Brookie.

Rookie tight end Cornelius Ingram and the Eagles agreed to terms on a four-year contract, according to Ingram's agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

A team spokesman said there should be an announcement forthcoming. The Eagles need to cut a player before they can finalize the deal with Ingram.

Rosenhaus announced the signing on Twitter.

"After meeting with the Eagles this morning in Philly," Rosenhaus wrote, "we have just agreed to terms on a 4 year deal for rookie TE Cornelius Ingram."

Ingram was selected in the fifth round of April's draft. The Florida product missed his senior season last year with a torn ACL, but has looked very good in minicamp.

Ingram's signing leaves the Eagles with just their top two picks unsigned -- wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and running back LeSean McCoy. The team has now inked six of their draft picks.

Rosenhaus also announced that Rosenhaus Sports has signed Eagles guard Max Jean-Gilles as a new client.

"Rosenhaus also announced that Rosenhaus Sports has signed Eagles guard Max Jean-Gilles as a new client." In related news, Max Jean-Gilles will be holding out of camp until he gets a new contract, as it is now required by NFLPA rules that all Rosenhaus clients become jerks a couple years into their careers.

When will the Eagles finally cut Reggie Brown and let him get on with his life?

I'd imagine it would be one of the extra LBs or McBride.

Eagles are trying even harder to sink their team with these 4 year deals for second day draft picks. If any of them ever have the success we hope for them, they will be locked into these crappy deals and disgruntled. Remember that the average NFL career doesn't even last 4 years. At least Banner, Lurie, and Reid will be able to continue to act righteous, even though they virtually force these guys to sign crappy deals that give them very little incentive to perform.

Rosenhaus is famous for early completion of crappy contracts, isn't he? How long were last year's rookie contracts? Grow up.

The 45-year-old Brookover lives in Delran with his wife Francine and roots for Notre Dame and Michigan State, the two schools attended by his children, Justine and Ryan. When Notre Dame plays Michigan State, he cheers for the school of the child he likes more at that particular moment.

Jeff McLane, right, joined the Eagles beat in April 2009 after two years of covering colleges, namely Penn State football. Before that he covered high school sports for The Inquirer. Before that he worked in the mailroom (not quite). Informed that his father is no longer covering the Lions, McLane's eldest, three-year-old son said, "You mean Simba, Scar and Mufasa, Daddy?" His two-year-old son -- excited about the move to the Eagles -- said, "Go, Deigo, Go!" or something like that. His wife of five-plus years, however, had a different take on the new job. "Another five years is in question," she said. Check out McLane on Twitter and Facebook for instant updates on the Eagles.
