Jacory HarrisThe Eagles signed rookie free agent quarterback Jacory Harris to a contract, the team announced Friday.
Harris, a product of Miami (Fla.), went undrafted last month. He was invited to the Dolphins rookie minicamp for a tryout. He instead inked a deal with the Eagles, giving the team the maximum 90 players on their roster.
In four seasons as a Hurricane, the 6-foot-4, 195-pound Harris passed for 8,826 yards, completed 60 percent of his passes and tossed 70 touchdowns against 48 interceptions.
The Eagles now have five quarterbacks under contract -- Michael Vick, Mike Kafka, Trent Edwards, third-round rookie Nick Foles and Harris.
Harris is a long shot to make it to the final 53-man roster. But as least he has a shot — and along the way he may learn something from quarterback guru Andy Reid that helps Harris stick somewhere else.
