Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie signed a one-year deal with Broncos late Wednesday night.

Nobody knows the holes in DRC’s game better than Eagles observers, but many believed there would be some competition for the talented 26-year-old. It never developed, and DRC finds himself on a prove-it contract in Denver.

His signing solidifies the fact that the Eagles will go into 2013 with two new starting corners. They inked former Ram Bradley Fletcher to a two-year deal on the first day of free agency to compete for a job, but the all-important position remains paper thin at the moment.

Where to go from here?

Defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois left Philadelphia without a deal from the Eagles Wednesday. Plus, the latest buzz on Connor Barwin, Danny Amendola and others.

The question was about the quarterback position,  and it was offered up to either to Chip Kelly or Howie Roseman, who were seated at opposite ends of the table in the NovaCare auditorium.

You worked out Geno Smith earlier this week. You brought in Matt Scott for a visit. Do you expect to draft a quarterback come April?

The head coach and general manager exchanged glances and waited a beat before Kelly decided to take it on.

Chip Kelly was asked about James Casey’s versatility when he brought up an interesting name.

“I think the versatility that you can present to defenses is when you have a certain grouping in the game, there’s not only one thing you can do,” Kelly said. “I think the teams that have been successful doing it, you watch the Patriots line up Aaron Hernandez all over the place. Is he going to be a tight end? Is he going to be a receiver? Is he going to be a running back?

“It makes it very difficult for the defense. They don’t know at the beginning of the play where people are going to line up and what they’re going to do. It keeps them on their toes. We want guys that can do that. You really get pigeon-holed when you have one-dimensional players. And when you do, it makes it a little bit easier for the defenses to go out there and understand what’s going to go on in certain formations.”

That was really all Kelly needed to say to explain why he thinks Casey is such a good fit.

Nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga opened some eyes at the introductory press conference for he and tight end James Casey Wednesday. After politely thanking the Eagles, God and the city of Philadelphia, he amped things up.

“We are here to hunt. We are here to win. I promise that we’re going to shock the world,” said the 6-2, 330-pound veteran.

Finding a new right tackle could be on the Eagles’ short list of priorities.

Yesterday, there were reports that the Birds were interested in Jake Long. And today, they’re at least looking into Cincinnati’s Andre Smith and New England’s Sebastian Vollmer, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.com.

The Eagles did not go with a lot of household names for their first wave of free agent signings. Time to study up.

To get a little bit better of an understanding of what tight end James Casey, nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga, cornerback Bradley Fletcher, safetyPatrick Chung and linebacker Jason Phillips bring to the table, we rounded up some analysis of the players and reaction to the signings.

Welcome to Day 2 of our Eagles free agency chat. We’ll be in and out all day with news, rumors, links and some Q&A.

The first few hours of the free agency period were relatively quiet for the Eagles, but then the team added five players: tight end James Casey, nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga, cornerback Bradley Fletcher, safety Patrick Chung and linebacker Jason Phillips.

None of the five has been a Pro Bowl, and the names were unknown to many in the Philadelphia area before Tuesday night. But they did fill some needs: starting cornerback, nose tackle, competition at safety, another weapon on offense and special teams help.

So, where do the Birds go from here? Three areas to keep an eye on…

The Eagles’ latest search for safety help has led them to 25-year-old Patrick Chung.

Chung was a second-round pick by the Patriots in 2009. He started 29 games in four seasons with New England, including seven in 2012. Chung played his college ball at Oregon and was there for two seasons when Chip Kelly was the offensive coordinator.

Around 4 p.m., the Eagles announced they were officially cutting ties with Nnamdi Asomugha. And about four hours later, they added a new starting cornerback in 26-year-old Bradley Fletcher.

Fletcher (6-0, 200) has 26 career starts under his belt and has appeared in 43 games with the Rams since being selected in the third round out of Iowa back in 2009.

The Eagles stayed away from high-priced free agents on the first day of the league year, and instead bought in bulk.

To recap: They signed cornerback Bradley Fletcher to a two-year deal; tight end James Casey to a three year deal; safety Patrick Chung to a three-year contract; linebacker Jason Phillips to a two-year deal; and defensive lineman Isaac Sopoaga to a three-year deal.

Sopoaga (6-2, 330) provides the nose tackle that the Eagles’ roster is currently missing. At 31, he’s not an ascending player, but Sopoaga would be a two-down interior lineman, capable of anchoring the Eagles’ line. He only played in 32.2 percent of the 49ers’ snaps last season and was originally a fourth-round pick in 2004.

The Eagles and tight end James Casey have agreed to terms on a three-year deal. How will Casey fit in, and what does it mean for other players on the roster? Here’s a look.

A list that details which free agents are visiting the Eagles, which are drawing interest from other teams and which have already signed elsewhere.

The Eagles are not expected to land Darrelle Revis, Sean Smith or Dashon Goldson. Here’s the latest.
