Andrews to Eagles

The Eagles are set to trade in knee problems for knee problems.

The Birds have agreed to terms with tackle Stacy Andrews on a multi-year deal, averaging $7 million per season. The guaranteed money is not yet known.

Andrews suffered a torn ACL late in the 2008 season and the deal hinges on Andrews passing a physical.

Andrews is the older brother of Eagles Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews, who missed most of training camp last season due to depression and nearly all of the regular season with a back injury.

Stacy (6-foot-7, 342) spent the first five years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals after being drafted by the team in the fourth round in 2004. After being designated as the club’s franchise player in 2008, the 27-year-old Andrews started at right tackle in the first 15 games before suffering a knee injury at Cleveland (12/21/08).

Andrews saw his first significant action as a starter in 2007, when he began the season as the team’s starting left guard before shifting to right tackle after the first six games. That season, he was part of an offensive line that set a team record for fewest sacks allowed (17). For his career, Andrews has played in 62 regular season games (32 starts).
