The Eagles started the day by acquiring Barnes, a 6-foot-1, 251-pound fourth-year player who played outside linebacker in the Ravens' 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 was not 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. 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.
