Philadelphia Eagles finally sign linebacker Stephen Tulloch

In a very unsurprising move, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially signed linebacker Stephen Tulloch, who was released by the Detroit Lions last month.

Stephen Tulloch signs with the Eagles, per source. $3 million deal, with $1.75 million fully guaranteed.

This move has been expected since Tulloch was released by the Lions, but the injury to Eagles rookie linebacker Joe Walker is likely what sparked the signing. Tulloch is a perfect fit with the Eagles and it was reported earlier this month that he and the Eagles were in heavy negotiations regarding a potential deal.
