00:00The Eagles have announced that they re-signed Britton Covey, and he is out here at practice.

00:05Ladies and gentlemen, the Eagles have a punt returner again.

00:09In addition, what else do the Eagles do?

00:11Late last night, Howie is in the shadows making phone calls, and the Eagles also go out and re-sign Marcus Epps.

00:20I'm not saying this guy is some all-world superstar, but when those guys were named as players to be waived and released,

00:27I knew that Howie Roseman was going to go out and try to get them back.

00:30I said that Howie Roseman was going to go out and try to bring them back, and that's exactly what he did,

00:35and he fills two positions of void for the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:38Why did the Eagles not just go sign Justin Simmons?

00:42Well, it goes with the philosophy of the entire offseason.

00:45Howie wants to get cheaper, and he wants to get younger.

00:48When we look at Marcus Epps, he's 28 years old, whereas Justin Simmons is going on 32 years old.

00:54He was your starting safety just a couple years ago when you had a Super Bowl-caliber defense,

01:00and overall, although he did not play that well in the Super Bowl, he started all 17 games.

01:05He's a workhorse, and he's going to be able to come out here and be a solid backup and a solid depth piece.
