Eagles expected to sign CFL’s leading pass rusher

P. Hunt

The Eagles hope they have found their own version of Cameron Wake.

Two years after the Dolphins signed Wake out of the CFL after a sack binge north of the border, Adam Caplan of FoxSports.com reports the Eagles are set to sign defensive end Phillip Hunt.

Hunt, who went undrafted out of Houston, had 16 sacks for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2010. He worked out for multiple teams, with the Texans and Vikings reportedly showing the most interest other than Philly.

Some teams saw Hunt as an outside linebacker, but the Eagles will use Hunt as defensive end. And they have just the coach to get the most out of Hunt possible.
