Reagor Coming to Philly - 3 Year Deal
The Philadelphia Eagles signed Montae Reagor to a 3 year deal. After visiting Philly on Tuesday, Reagor and the Eagles came to a $8.3 million dollar deal for the 3 years. There was some speculation that Reagor's former Superbowl Champion team, the Indianapolis Colts, would resign him, however that wasn't the case.
Despite his lack of "bulk", Reagor makes up for that in his speed, which will allow him to fit quite well into the Jim Johnson's defensive scheme. Some sports experts are expecting the Eagles to make a move among the defensive lineup now that there are 6 defensive tackles.
The former Texas Tech player and standout has 16 sacks, 213 tackles, 4 forced fumbles & 7 recoveries. Although Reagor started the first 5 games of the Colt's 2006 season, an October 22nd car accident a few hours before the Colts game with the Redskins put Reagor out of play for the rest of the season. After initial evaluation there was some hope that he'd return later in the season, however those hopes were dashed when Reagor's injuries turned out to be a lot more serious.
Tom Heckert did not seem to concerned about Reagor's injuries. "He's been relatively healthy," Heckert said. "He told me last night he had one knee scope, and that was it. The face -- that's not a problem at all."
"They want to bring good character guys here," said Reagor. "They want to bring guys that are loyal to the ball club, good character guys, guys that are going to work hard on the field and be good in the community as well. So, it's a very attractive place to be and I'm glad to be here."
