Eagles Add Linebacker Matt Wilhelm
Posted by: Scott Tunstall
And the hits keep on coming. Per PFT (again), the Eagles have signed ex-Chargers linebacker Matt Wilhelm to a one-year deal. Wilhelm was released by San Diego prior to training camp. Wilhelm, 28, is listed at 6′4″, 245 lbs. He has only 21 starts in six career seasons. His best season came in 2007, when he recorded 97 tackles, 1 sack and 3 interceptions in 14 starts.
Again, no official confirmation from the Birds. However, if the deal is accurate, I think it’s relatively safe to assume Stew ain’t coming back anytime soon. No matter what Reid says to the contrary.

this guy was a stud at Ohio State in the bear style defense. With all their wisdom in San Diego, they had Wilhelm running sideline to sideline and dropping 18 yards deep in pass coverage. In the Eagles scheme Wilhelm will make plays blitzing from the inside or from the edge. See Chargers -v- Jets last season first two series. BTW, he hurt Farve on the 3rd play when he brought the heat. Eagles will get a player here.
