Last week, the acquisition of fullback Luke Lawton by the Philadelphia Eagles caused the team to flip Dan Klecko back to the defensive line.  The latest transaction might ultimately end Klecko’s short tenure with the team. 

The Eagles have re-signed veteran defensive tackle Kim von Oelhoffen, to a one-year deal.  The man who blew apart Carson Palmer’s knee with a low hit during the 2005 playoffs spent 2007 with the Eagles, appearing in eight games and starting one of them.  With von Oehlhoffen being brought back only a week or so after Klecko switched back to defensive tackle, it could be a sign that the Eagles believe that Klecko simply doesn’t have what the team is looking for at that position.

Von Oelhoffen entered the league as a sixth-round draft pick in 1994, and spent six years with the Bengals before spending six with the Steelers.  He played for the Jets in 2006, and then signed with Philly last year.

The Eagles also signed two of their 2008 sixth-round picks, guard Mike Gibson and linebacker Andy Studebaker, and released nine guys of whom we’d never heard.  Or if we had we’d long since forgotten.
