Eagles deal Stacy Andrews to Seattle, obtain DE Barnes from Baltimore

The Eagles started the day by acquiring Barnes, a 6-foot-1, 251-pound fourth-year player that played outside linebacker in the Raven's 3-4 defensive scheme, but will play end with the Eagles. The team surrendered a 2011 seventh-round pick to get the 25-year-old, who posted 20 tackles and five sacks in 37 career games.

"We've always had our eye on Barnes," Roseman said.

Roseman was able to wrestle a 2012 seventh-round pick from the Patriots for White, who wasn't expected to make the team. On Friday, the Eagles traded away another 2011 seventh-round pick to get guard Reggie Wells from Arizona.

That move portended the Andrews trade. Nick Cole, who has been sidelined for most of the last month with knee swelling, is penciled in as the starter at right guard, but Wells is insurance.

Andrews had intimated during the off-season that he was not comfortable playing guard. His effort in the preseason suggested as much, as he struggled with some of the basic chores of the position.

Andrews said that when he agreed to restructure his contract and take a pay cut in the off-season, Roseman said he that would be the starter at right guard.

"We told him . . . that he would have the opportunity to be a starter here, which he did have," Roseman said.
