Jerome McDougle, DE --
The Eagles traded up to select the former University of
Miami standout with the 15th overall pick in the 2003
NFL draft, but his pro career seemed doomed from the
start. McDougle skipped out on the first week of
training camp to get a six-year contract from the
Eagles that included $6.122 million in bonuses.
McDougle suffered injuries to his ankle, knee and hip
in the final preseason game of his rookie year against
the Jets at Lincoln Financial Field and missed the
first eight games.
In 2004, McDougle first was put on the shelf with an
irregular heartbeat, then lost four games to a sprained
knee. He missed all of 2005 after being shot in the
abdo men during a robbery attempt near his home in
Miami on the eve of training camp. He saw his most
action last season, but over a most forgettable
four-year career in which he has never started a game,
McDougle has just 23 solo tackles and three sacks. The
Eagles likely will begin the season with 10 defensive
linemen.
McDougle is not expected to be one of them.
