Runyan Back with Eagles?

Runyan worked out for the Eagles today. Reportedly, 3 other teams are also interested in Runyan.

 

This is what drives me crazy about the front office, they’re penny wise and pound foolishness.

 

Presumably they are waiting to sign him after the first game when his full year contract is not guaranteed. Of course, he’s not likely to play in the first game 3 days from now, but why wait?

 

You’ve got a championship contending team, you’ve got problems on your offensive line, you’ve got a proven nfl tackle that wants to play, and a team leader to boot. You put all this money into other upgrades, why not just sign Runyan now for $1million and be done with it. heck, maybe you could even suit him up for Sunday so he doesn’t end his consecutive games streak. Your millions under the cap and Runyan is good insurance for Shawn Andrews.

 

Plus he’s earned a little management gesture of good will. I would think it would be good for the locker room and the other players if they saw that management wasn’t playing hard ball with him.

 

The Eagles thinking on this makes no sense to me.
