The Eagles on Thursday signed punter Dirk Johnson to a six-year contract extension. Financial terms were not disclosed. The extension runs through the 2011 season for Johnson, who has been Philadelphia's primary punter for the last three seasons. Johnson missed the second half of last season due to a groin strain. Before the injury, he was 11th in the NFL with a net average of 38.4 yards, the highest by an Eagles punter since 1976. "Dirk has developed into one of the top punters in the NFL in the three years he's been with us," Eagles coach Andy Reid said.

Two longtime Eagles are out and one is returning to the nest after a two-year hiatus. The Eagles released quarterback Koy Detmer and receiver Todd Pinkston on Wednesday and re-signed quarterback A.J. Feeley, who led the team to a 4-1 record in the last five games of the 2002 season when Donovan McNabb and Detmer were both sidelined with injuries.

Former Dolphins starter Todd Pinkston, the six-year veteran who missed the entire 2005 season with a torn right Achilles, has been limited for much of training camp. Eagles officials have granted Pinkston and agent Joel Segal permission to speak with other teams about a potential trade. It is not certain what Philadelphia would be seeking in return for Pinkston, who could be extraneous, given the glut of receivers on the roster.

Still looking to replace Terrell Owens, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Donte' Stallworth from the New Orleans Saints on Monday. The Eagles sent veteran linebacker Mark Simoneau and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2007 to the Saints. The trade is pending both players passing physicals with their new team.

Stephen Davis might not be unemployed much longer. The Eagles brought the four-time 1,000-yard rusher in for a physical and interview Monday to see if the 32-year-old Davis and his creaky knees can bolster an undersized running game hit with injury and inconsistency. "He's been very productive in this league," coach Andy Reid said. "We just want to investigate it."

Kellen Winslow made some blocks, caught a couple passes and took a few hits. Playing his first game in nearly two years, the Browns tight end made two catches in Cleveland's 20-7 preseason loss to Philadelphia on Thursday night. "It was really good to get back out there," said Winslow, whose career was stalled by an in-game leg injury and a motorcycle accident. "I just wanted to get tackled to get some confidence back." Donovan McNabb looked sharp for the second straight game, and Jeff Garcia connected with Darnerien McCants on a 32-yard touchdown pass for the Eagles (1-1).

All Art Shell asked to see in his first game back as coach of the Raiders was some progress. He got that, and strong placekicking by Sebastian Janikowski in a 16-10 victory over the Eagles on Sunday night as the NFL preseason began with the Hall of Fame game.

The Eagles have finally come to terms with first-round draft choice Brodrick Bunkley, the defensive tackle from Florida State. The Eagles and Bunkley have agreed to a six-year deal that should be signed this weekend. A source indicated that Bunkley will earn a guaranteed $10 million in the contract. The contract could be worth as much as $30 million if incentives are reached. Bunkley will have missed 28 practices. He was the 14th selection in the NFL draft. One of the stalling points was that the Eagles wanted to sign him to a six-year deal and his agent Gary Wichard was looking for a five-year deal.

Now that Terrell Owens is gone from Philadelphia, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie says it was a mistake to sign the outspoken wide receiver. "I would not do it again," Lurie said Wednesday in his annual state-of-the-team address. "You look back on it, one year great, the second year a disaster. Nobody should be able to be as disruptive and really cut the energy of the team down.
