Eagles sign Eric Wilson: 3 things to know about their new linebacker

The Eagles have signed linebacker Eric Wilson to a one-year deal worth up to $3.25 million, according to an NFL Network report.

Wilson, 26-years old and 6-foot-1, 230 pounds, comes to the Eagles after spending his first four seasons in Minnesota.


Here are 3 things to know about the Eagles' newest linebacker:

** Wilson has just one season of full-time production under his belt, but it was certainly an impressive one as he totaled 122 tackles, three sacks, three interceptions and one forced fumble last season.

** Wilson was back in coverage on 594 snaps last season, the most on the Vikings. He allowed just two touchdowns. Wilson was much stronger against the run.

** Wilson spent one season with Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon in 2017 when both were with the Vikings. He also worked with Eagles current linebacker coach Nick Rallis in Minnesota.

Wilson comes to the Eagles with a real chance to play right away as their linebacking core has no clear-cut starters. Although Alex Singleton is back on a one-year deal, Wilson will likely be at the top of the depth chart.
