RFA LB Jordan singed one-year tender offer to return to Eagles

Finally, three-year pro Akeem Jordan, a restricted free agent linebacker, decided to wear back his No. 56 Philadelphia Eagles jersey for the 2010 season by signing a one-year tender offer that will at least ensure him a starting job at the defensive line.

Jordan started 10 games for the Eagles last season, recording 82 tackles and two interceptions. He took a role on the starting defense midway through the 2008 season and held it until being sidelined for four weeks with a knee injury last season.

Being drafted by the Eagles as a rookie free agent out of James Madison in 2007, the 6-foot-1, 230-pound Jordan has established his reliable role on the defensive line, especially after the release of Will Witherspoon. By deciding to return with the Eagles, Jordan is very likely to resume his starting role as a weakside linebacker.
