Eagles add LB Matt Wilhelm

With middle linebacker Stewart Bradley gone for the year due to a torn ACL, the Eagles have signed former Chargers linebacker Matt Wilhelm, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.Wilhelm was cut by the Chargers a week or so before the start of training camp.

Now I do not know much about Matt Wilhem but I did find some things, http://www.nfl.com/players/mattwilhelm/profile?id=WIL062196  is his player stat.  He never really started in the NFL besides 1 season hes a pretty above par COVER LB which is what we really need.  We will see how he turns out though, heres some more info on him..

Scouting Report Assets Good tackler. Gets over the midfield trash well. Can fill his gap and shed blockers. Adequate in zone coverage. Flaws A 3-4 cleanup guy who is protected by the system. Doesn’t have great range and makes most plays in the box. Can be outrun in man coverage. Not a playmaker. …

and heres a little more on his personal life.  Seems like a decent guy.
