Eagles sign Leonard Weaver
The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with fullback Leonard Weaver on a one-year contract.
Last year, Weaver carried the ball 30 times for 130 yards and caught 20 passes for 222 yards.
"When I looked at Philly, I looked at the type of offense they run," Weaver said via conference call. "In free agency, a lot of the guys look at the money. For me, that wasn't really the case. I looked at more of the opportunity. I hope I get a chance to catch passes, but they called me to do some blocking and that's exactly what I'm expected to do. I looked at the offense and it's basically the same offense Mike Holmgren ran in Seattle. I liked the opportunities there, so I took a chance."Dan Klecko, who started at fullback for the Eagles last year, will make the transition back to the defensive line.
