Stephen Tulloch will sign a one-year deal with the Eagles, a league source confirmed Sunday. The veteran linebacker provides much-needed depth to the middle of the Eagles' defense, and arrives with a background in defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's scheme.
Tulloch, 31, will receive a contract worth up to $3 million with $1.75 million guaranteed. The move is not yet official, but Tulloch's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed the signing on Twitter.
The interest between the veteran and the team has been reported for weeks, and the Eagles' need at the position only grew after rookie Joe Walker tore his anterior cruciate ligament last Thursday.
