The Eagles signed third-round pick Bryan Smith to a 4-year contract yesterday.
Smith is the eighth draft choice to come to terms with the Birds. Only their second-round picks, wide receiver DeSean Jackson and defensive tackle Trevor Laws, remain unsigned. Training camp opens on Monday, July 21.
Smith, a 6-2, 245-pound defensive end out of McNeese State, likely will begin camp behind Trent Cole, Chris Clemons, Juqua Parker, Victor Abiamiri and Darren Howard on the depth chart. Jerome McDougle also is on the roster. *
