NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Randle, Rueben

WR Rueben Randle, who became an unrestricted free agent with the Giants March 9, agreed to terms with the Eagles Wednesday (March 23).

Fox Sports reported that the one-year deal is worth $1.025 million and includes incentives that could boost the value to $3 million.

The 24-year-old Randle was a starter for the Giants the past two seasons, totaling 57 catches for 797 yards and a career-best eight touchdowns in 2015 and a career-high 71 receptions for 938 yards and three touchdowns in 2014.

 

 

In 64 career games with the Giants (33 starts), Randle has 188 receptions for 2,644 yards and 20 touchdowns. As a punt returner, he compiled 44 returns for 345 yards.

The 6-foot-2, 208-pound Randle, a second-round pick in 2012 out of LSU, joins Chris Givens, who signed a week ago, as new additions to the Eagles' wide receiving corps. They'll be in the mix with Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor and Josh Huff for playing time.

NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Robinson, Patrick

CB Patrick Robinson, who became an unrestricted free agent with the Chargers March 9, agreed to terms with the Colts Wednesday (March 23).

Last season with the San Diego Chargers, Robinson played in 16 games and totaled 49 tackles, two tackles for loss, one forced fumble, eight passes defensed and one interception.

The six-year NFL veteran is expected to replace Greg Toler, who is a free agent, in the Colts' secondary.

"We've been interested in Patrick since early in free agency and we're glad it finally came together," Colts general manager Ryan Grigson said. "We have some strong ties on our coaching staff with him so that familiarity is always a plus. He is a versatile, experienced and steady corner that gives us immediate help opposite Vontae (Davis).

"He was a fit on a number of levels in regards to overall skill, but also adds some strong intangibles. We're happy with this addition to our team."

Robinson, a first-round draft pick in 2010 by New Orleans, has played in 74 career games and started 43 with the Saints and the Chargers. He has 234 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, 54 passes defensed, 10 interceptions, two forced fumbles, 10 special-teams tackles and two blocked kicks.
