Eagles buy a big Blount

Eagles signed RB LeGarrette Blount, formerly of the Patriots, to a one-year contract.

 

How about this for a late-offseason addition? Blount led the league with 18 rushing touchdowns last season and set a new career-high with 1,161 yards on the ground, but he's already 30. He adds nothing in the pass game, but the Eagles already have Darren Sproles, Wendell Smallwood, and rookie Donnel Pumphrey there. Blount figures to handle all of the first- and second-down work and short-yardage carries in Philly, and this is a great fit in a spread-type offense that Blount also played in with New England. Blount also gets to run behind one of the better offensive lines with the Eagles. This is as about as great of a landing spot Blount could have hoped for, and ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Cardinals also had interest. Blount's addition should lead to Ryan Mathews' release.
