The Philadelphia Eagles are adding another defensive lineman to the stockpile. Haloti Ngata signed a one-year deal with the Super Bowl champs.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported the former All-Pro visited with the Eagles on Thursday.
Ngata, ranked No. 74 on NFL.com's *Top 101 Free Agents of 2018* list, adds to the Eagles' embarrassment of riches on the defensive line. The 34-year-old joins Fletcher Cox, Michael Bennett, Brandon Graham, Timmy Jernigan, Derek Barnett, Chris Long and Vinny Curry (until he gets traded or released).
Ngata spent the past three seasons in Detroit after nine dominant years in Baltimore. The veteran proved he had scheme versatility switching to the Lions' 4-3 defense. Ngata remains a stout run defender and was one of Detroit's top D-line players last year before a biceps injury wiped out his season after five games.
Plugging into the rotation in Philly could give Ngata's career new life for another couple of years.
