Hugh Douglas gets cut

[Lou]

I hope the Eagles can snag him for the veteran minimum...he can't be any worse than some of the stiffs we have right now on the D-Line like McDougle, Green, and Burgess.

First Trotter, now Douglas.

Signs the big deal with the Jags.

Then goes out and gets 3.5 sacks, 30+ tackles.

Then cut.

Be interesting to see what he's got left. The need him with Kalu going down. Need McDougle to step up too.

DOUGLAS RETURNS TO PHILLY



A league source tells us that defensive end Hugh Douglas has agreed to terms with the Philadelphia Eagles, the team with which Douglas earned three Pro Bowl berths before signing a free-agent deal a year ago with the Jaguars.



Douglas will receive a $150,000 signing bonus and a base salary of $700,000.



Incentives based on sacks and making the Pro Bowl account for up to a total of $2.55 million additional money, enabling Douglas to earn up to $3.4 million if he has a monster year in Philly.



Specifically, Douglas will get $150,000 if he has six sacks, another $700,000 if he has 10 sacks, and another $800,000 with at least 12 sacks. He gets $150,000 if he leads the team in sacks, and $800,000 if he gets back to the Pro Bowl.



Douglas received offers for the one-year veteran minimum from the Bears and Redskins. The Dolphins and Bucs were interested, but made no offer. The Giants also were in the mix.



In the end, Douglas wanted to return -- quickly -- to the Eagles, where he believes he can help the team get to the Super Bowl.



First, he'll have to get into the starting lineup, where Jevon Kearse and Derrick Burgess currently are at the top of the depth chart. Two weeks ago, the Eagles lost starter N.D. Kalu for the season.
