1 yr, 1M deal with some incentives....great signing. So proud how the Eagles set themselves up for this off-season and showed once again how good planning & cap management provides the opportunity for quality shopping like this...and none of these deals are prohibitive...figure out RT and bring me a LB and we could be ready to roll...

Crap.We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

From Jimmy Kempski...
Eagles – Signed Ronnie Brown.
Really nice fit for the Eagles. Big back at 6’0, 230, that can run, catch, block, and be utilized in the Wildcat, which the Eagles like to mess around with from time to time. Brown reportedly had several offers that would have paid him more money than what the Eagles offered, but he wanted to play in Philly, and signed a very low 1 year, $1 million contract. Consider that Marion Barber signed a 2 year deal with the Bears worth $5 million, and Brown’s deal is an absolute steal.
Brown is known partly for his durability issues, although I was somewhat surprised to see that he has played in 76 of a possible 96 games (just shy of 80%) as a pro. If he can stay healthy, he’s a great backup option to LeSean McCoy. The Eagles also drafted Dion Lewis out of Pitt in the 5th round, and can now take their time letting him develop.

Apparently it's temporary. RB's can only have numbers between 21-49 and literally every other number was taken.Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd kill you and everyone you cared about!
