According to Ross Jones of FOX Sports, the Eagles have signed former Seahawks and Broncos OG John Moffitt. (Thanks for breaking this an hour before the NBA Draft, Ross).

If you didn't join in on our weekly chat yesterday, (A) you're a jerk, and (B) you missed the Moffitt discussion.
Moffitt retired from football to go to rehab for drug use, but he worked his way back in shape and un-retired. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports tweeted about Moffitt after his announcement to un-retire:
"I have never been so proud of a guy I've trained than I am of John Moffitt. Retired two years ago bc he knew he had drug issues, took time to go to rehab, clean up his life, beat his demons and he has taken his life back! Guy inspires us every day. He came to me 3 months ago @unbreakable to train to take his career back. He's become the favorite of every player in our gym. He officially un-retired today. Free agent starting guard. So proud of him to get here."
The Eagles desperately need OL help, and Moffitt makes sense as a guy who can push for a starting spot at guard.
