| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Philadelphia Eagles signed guard Shawn Andrews to a seven-year contract extension on Monday. A former first-round draft choice in 2004, Andrews broke his right ankle in his first NFL game but the bulky lineman bounced back to start all 16 games last season at right guard and was named an alternate for the NFC Pro Bowl squad. The 6-foot-4, 340-pound Andrews still had four years remaining on his original six-year contract and is now locked up through the 2015 season. |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -No matter his contract situation, Brian Dawkins doesn't plan to play or act any differently. The five-time Pro Bowl safety could be entering his final season with the Philadelphia Eagles. But Dawkins isn't going to hold out for a new deal or cause any problems. ``Whether it's a contract year, whether it's the first year after a contract, whether it's the third year on a four-year deal, I'm going to try my best to give everything I have regardless of the situation,'' Dawkins said Tuesday.< |

His most memorable game was on Nov. 28 against the Philadelphia Eagles, when he caught two passes for 102 yards. Taylor's senior season at Texas A&M was cut short after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament. Accorsi said Taylor was placed on the reserve-retired list so the team retains his rights in case he ch |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Jeff Garcia is settling into an unfamiliar role with another new team. A three-time Pro Bowl quarterback during five seasons in San Francisco, Garcia now is with the Philadelphia Eagles after unsuccessful one-year stints in Cleveland and Detroit.

For now, Garcia is mentoring younger players and learning Philadelphia's version of the West Coast offense d |

Only this time, Bunkley isn't studying anything remotely close to organic chemistry, quantum physics or whichever courses he took at Florida State. A first-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in last month's NFL draft, Bunkley has spent a lot of time making sure he's familiar with the defensive playbook.
