| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Tuesday that cornerback Rod Hood has signed his one-year tender offer from the club. Hood was offered a mid-level tender from the club, meaning the Eagles would have received a first-round pick from the team that signed him if Philadelphia had declined to match the offer. Hood proved his value last season after the Auburn product posted career highs in tackles (41) and interceptions (three) in 2005. He also started the last six games of the |

The injury, which has hampered professional athletes such as Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb, has limited Hill to just 21 games this season. He hasn't played since a March 10 win against Cleveland. Hill, who has underwent several ankle surgeries in the past, missed the first 19 games of the 2005-06 season. He is averaging |

Buffalo would likely settle for a fourth-round pick or higher in a deal for Moulds. Johnson said he's also had conversations with Philadelphia Eagles president Joe Banner and New England Patriots personnel director Scott Pioli. However, the Patriots, who have lost three receivers to free agency this month, are considered an unlikely trade candidate because they play in the same division as Buffal |

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Dancing in the street got Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Dhani Jones arrested.

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Friday that they have agreed to terms with veteran tackle Jon Runyan on a three-year contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The free agent chose to remain in Philadelphia and continue to anchor the right side of its offensive line after meeting with the New York Jets earlier this week. The 32-year-old originally signed with the Eagles in 2000 as a free agent and has started a combined 106 straight games for Philadelphia. He also has |

Neal started all 18 games last season, a big reason why Patriot quarterbacks were sacked just 28 times. Neal was signed off the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad on December 12, 2001, but spent the remainder of the campaign on the inactive list. Neal made his NFL debut on October 6, 2002 and made his first career start the following week versus Green Bay. |
