The Dream Team adds another; Eagles sign DL Jenkins

The Eagles have announced that former Packers defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins has signed with the team. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that it’s a five year, $25 million deal.

Jenkins played 11 games for the Super Bowl champion Packers last season, starting eight and recording seven sacks. The 30-year-old had played his entire seven-year career in Green Bay.

The Birds also traded underachieving defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley to Cleveland for the Browns’ fifth-round pick in 2012.

Bunkley was the Eagles’ first-round draft pick, No. 14 overall, in 2006. Last year Bunkley played through an elbow injury for most of the season and appeared in 14 games, starting five.
