Actually, he's an average blocker on a good day, which is why he hasn't been getting a lot of attention. Also, his asking price is way too high. Some of the info about him and the Eagles is agent posturing. He's trying to manufacture a bidding war. He may sign with the Birds, but don't bet on it. I’m not sold on Weaver completely.
