Eagles trade for OL Wells, cut 10; Abiamiri to PUP
Football Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Eagles have traded for
Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Reggie Wells, the team announced Friday.
The 29-year-old Wells, who was acquired in exchange for an undisclosed 2011
draft pick, started every game for the NFC West champion Cardinals in 2009.
The former sixth-round draft choice out of Clarion (PA), who has worked mainly
at left guard over the course of his career, has opened 90 consecutive games
dating back to the 2003 season finale.
"We're adding a player that has started several seasons in the National
Football League and has played at a very high level during the course of his
career," Eagles head coach Andy Reid said in a statement. "He has experience
at several different positions along the offensive line and he will be a
welcome addition to that group. You can never have enough depth at that
position as you go through an NFL season."
The team also began releasing players in advance of Saturday's 6 p.m. (et) NFL
deadline to reduce rosters to 53 players.
Dropped were running back J.J. Arrington, wide receiver Dobson Collins,
defensive end Pannel Egboh, tight end Nate Lawrie, running back Martell
Mallett, tackle Jeraill McCuller, cornerback David Pender, cornerback Geoff
Pope, defensive tackle Boo Robinson, and safety Anthony Scirrotto.
The most esteemed member of that group is Arrington, who appeared in 58 games
with the Cardinals from 2005 through 2008 but has seen his career largely
derailed by knee problems.
The release of Arrington means that the Eagles will receive a sixth-round
draft pick from Denver in 2012 as compensation for the trade of LB Joe Mays to
the Broncos on July 30.
Placed on the Physically-Unable-to-Perform PUP list was defensive end Victor
Abiamiri, who is coming off microfracture knee surgery. The 2007 second-round
pick out of Notre Dame is not eligible to play in the team's first six regular
season games. After the sixth game, the team has three weeks to decide whether
to activate Abiamiri to the 53-man roster. If he is not activated during that
time period, he is placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve list.
Abiamiri has four sacks in 29 NFL games since entering the league in 2007.
