Eagles agreed to terms with CB Walter Thurmond III, formerly of the Giants, on a one-year contract.
The deal should be for very little money. 27-year-old Thurmond's NFL career has been ravaged by injuries, including last year's season-ending pectoral tear. Thurmond also has an extensive history of knee and leg problems. When healthy, the Oregon alum has flashed playmaking ability at slot corner. Mar 11 - 7:46 AM
We already have Brandon Boykin, one of the better slot corners in the league (arguably THE best in the league actually).
Thurmond is good depth, especially since he can't stay healthy so we aren't going to rely on him.
Can't imagine the Eagles using him on the outside. He'll be our #4 corner/depth most likely. Especially on a 1 year deal for low money because of injury history.
