Correll Buckhalter Re-Signed for Two Years

First reported by the NFL.com, and later confirmed on PhiladelphiaEagles.com, Eagles Running Back, Correll Buckhalter has been re-signed to a two year deal that will keep him in Philadelphia. Three or four teams, including the Giants were rumored to be interested in Brian Westbrook's backup, but lingering questions about his knee seemed to be the major issue in Buckhalter leaving Philly for another team.

We here in Philly all know Correll's surgery and injury history, but his last surgery was in September 2005.  Generally knee injuries take about 2 years to re-coop and be back to 100%, so this year should be a great year for Correll, if his performance last year was any indication. 

Correll has been in Brian Westbrook's shadow, but fans are starting to really notice that this running back is definitely not a "shadow", Buckhalter is coming into his own.  This year should prove even more interesting since local sports experts are expecting Marty Mornhinweg to retain play calling duties and the Eagles will likely run the ball more than they have recently, the Number 2 running back slot now becomes even more important.
