Report: QB Edwards visits with Eagles

A couple weeks ago, reports surfaced that the Eagles worked out quarterback Trent Edwards.

Apparently, they liked enough of what they saw to bring him in for a visit and have him take a physical yesterday, according to Adam Caplan of The Sideline View.

Edwards, a third-round pick out of Stanford in 2007, has started 33 games (32 with the Bills and one with the Jaguars). He's completed 60.5 percent of his passes, but didn't get the ball downfield much, averaging just 6.5 yards per attempt. He's thrown 26 touchdowns and 30 interceptions.

For his career, Edwards (6-4, 231) has averaged one INT every 30.9 attempts. As a point of reference, Michael Vick was picked off once every 30.2 attempts last season.

In 2008, Edwards completed 65.5 percent of his passes and averaged 7.2 yards per attempt.

He spent the last preseason with the Raiders, but was released and never caught on with another team. Edwards is 29 years old.

The Eagles went 1-2 with Vince Young starting last season. They also lost two more games that Mike Kafka had to finish in place of Vick.
