Eagles release WR Curtis, DE Howard
Hide this article
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Eagles released a pair of veterans on Thursday in wide receiver Kevin Curtis and defensive end Darren Howard.
Curtis was limited to 12 games the past two seasons due to a sports hernia and knee injuries following a 77-catch, 1,110-yard campaign in 2007, his first year with the Eagles.
"Kevin is one of the classiest players I have ever been around," said Eagles head coach Andy Reid. "He's the type of player and person we like to build our team with. We just feel good about the young corps of receivers we have on our team at this point."
Over his seven-year career, which began with the Rams, the Utah State product has logged 252 receptions for 3,291 yards and 20 touchdowns in 79 games.
Howard, 33, had been with Philadelphia for four seasons after a six-year stint in New Orleans, which made him its second-round pick in 2000. Howard never missed a game for the Eagles in his time there and had 5 1/2 of his 67 career sacks in 2009.
"Darren Howard has been one of our most productive and versatile members of our defense in the last couple of years," said Reid. "He is nothing but a solid player, leader and person on and off the field."
