Headed back home: Vinny Curry reportedly returning to Eagles
Vinny Curry is reportedly returning to the Eagles.
Zach Berman of philly.com reported on Thursday morning that Philadelphia is “nearing a deal” to bring Curry back into the fold.
It will be a one-year deal for $2.25 million plus incentives.
A second-round draft pick of the Eagles in 2012, Curry was released last March in a cost-cutting move and signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But Curry only played in 12 games for the Buccaneers; he struggled with a high-ankle sprain, and tried to come back too soon, which affected his play. He had 2.5 sacks.
The Eagles and Brandon Graham agreed on a three-year extension, but there are questions about other pass rushers from last season: Chris Long is undecided on whether he’ll return for another season, and Derek Barnett underwent shoulder surgery.
Philadelphia traded Michael Bennett to the New England Patriots earlier this month.
