Eagles sign three rookie free agents

The Eagles signed three rookie free agents Wednesday, quarterback Casey Hansen and linebackers Gary Butler and Mark Staffieri.

Hansen (6-foot-6, 220) threw for 4,277 yards and 19 TDs during his two-year career at Norfolk State, where he led the MEAC in 2006 with 2,166 yards. He was a second-team All-Foothill Conference performer as a sophomore in 2005 at Chaffey Junior College in Rancho Cucamongo, CA, after transferring from Colorado State.

Butler (6-foot-1, 235) registered 69 tackles, 12 sacks, and four forced fumbled in his senior season at California (PA), earning PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year honors and leading the Vulcans to a 13-1 record.

Staffieri (6-foot-3, 232) recorded 54 tackles and one sack during his senior season at BYU and finished his four-year career with the Cougars with 132 tackles and two sacks.
