Alex Smith, TE, Philadelphia EaglesNews | Statistics | Player vs. Team | Utilization | Depth Chart Eagles | Eight could be RFAs this offseason The Philadelphia Daily News reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Jason Avant, OL Nick Cole, LB Omar Gaither, LB Chris Gocong, CB Ellis Hobbs, OG Max Jean-Gilles, TE Alex Smith and FB Leonard Weaver are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents under the current terms of the collective bargaining agreement. However, they will become restricted free agents if 2010 is an uncapped season. 49ers | A. Smith productive Week 11 The Associated Press reports San Francisco 49ers QB Alex Smith went 16-for-33 for 227 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 11. Eagles | A. Smith will be backup tight end The Associated Press reports Philadelphia Eagles TE Alex Smith will back up starting TE Brent Celek. Eagles | A. Smith signed Updating a previous report, The Sports Network reports the Philadelphia Eagles have signed unrestricted free-agent TE Alex Smith (Patriots) to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed. Eagles | To sign A. Smith Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports via Twitter the Philadelphia Eagles will sign free-agent TE Alex Smith (Patriots). Patriots | Six players released Shalise Manza Young, of The Providence Journal, reports the New England Patriots have released DL Titus Adams, OT Wesley Britt, SS Herana-Daze Jones, LB Paris Lenon, OT Ryan O'Callaghan and TE Alex Smith. Patriots | A. Smith not worried about trade rumors Ian Rapoport, of the Boston Herald, reports New England Patriots TE Alex Smith said he is not worried about the trade rumors because they are not in his control but is ready to help a team this season. "Whether I'm here or I'm somewhere else, I know I have a job to do. To be on the field get to know the offense as quickly as possible so I can be a factor," Smith said. Patriots | Tight end race still too close to call The Associated Press reports New England Patriots TE Benjamin Watson, TE David Thomas, TE Alex Smith and TE Chris Baker are competing for what could be three slots on the final 53-man roster. There is a chance the team could keep all four on the roster because the Patriots don't have a true fullback on the roster. The Patriots' tight ends could play as lead blockers, as well as being part of two- and three-tight end formations on short-yardage plays. Patriots | Rounding out the tight ends Mike Reiss, of The Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots TEs Chris Baker and Alex Smith are locks to make the team in 2009. The Patriots signed Baker to a multi-year deal as a free agent during the offseason, and they traded a fifth-round draft pick in 2010 to acquire Smith from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker figures to work more as a blocker and run underneath routes, while Smith and TE David Thomas could move around at the position. Smith and Thomas, who are both in the final year of their contracts, could serve in a fullback-type role, too. Baker is under contract through 2013, but he is due a significant bonus after two years so it's essentially a deal through the 2010 season. TE Tyson DeVree, signed through 2010, is projected as the No. 5 tight end right now. Patriots | Crowded at tight end Karen Guregian, of The Boston Herald, reports the New England Patriots are crowded at the tight end position with TEs Benjamin Watson, Alex Smith, Chris Baker, David Thomas, Tyson DeVree and Brad Listorti on roster.
