The Eagles signed linebacker Rocky Boiman (64 tackles and 2 int.) to a one-year deal on Monday. Boiman was drafted in the 4th round of the 2002 draft by Tennessee where he stayed for four years before signing with the Indianapolis Colts. Look for him to be a backup in the defense since Andy Reid has said he is “very excited” about the young linebacker group he currently has. After releasing veteran Takeo Spikes they needed someone to serve as a mentor to the inexperienced group, which may not be a bad idea. Maybe he can teach them how to create turnovers since he tied the amount of interceptions Omar Gaither, Chris Gocong, Stuart Bradley, and Takeo Spikes accumulated combined last year. Yet and still Boiman would need to have a break out preseason (not at all likely to happen at the age of 28) to see much playing time. Unless there is an upcoming trade, all of the Eagles’ moves will seem inconsequential in the aftermath of signing Asante Samuel.
