Eagles add Wilson to tight end stable

advertisement

The Eagles continued tweaking the middle of the roster yesterday, adding depth at tight end by signing veteran Kris Wilson to a three-year deal.

In four years playing mainly tight end but also fullback and occasionally H-back with the Chiefs, Wilson caught 42 passes for 345 yards and four touchdowns. He had a career-high 24 catches for 180 yards and a TD last year.

With L.J. Smith and Brent Celek set at the No. 1 and No. 2 tight end spots, Wilson will presumably replace free agent disappoint Matt Schobel, who has just 25 receptions in two seasons since signing a five-year deal after the 2005 season.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'd say this is the final piece the Eagles need to win the Super Bowl but I'm not stupid or a lap dog of the team. Kris Wilson seems like another Jack of a all trades (master of none) who will play special teams and maybe a play or two here and there.
