No one will ever pound the table for a long snapper's addition. No one will ever sound the trumpets whenever one is signed, but ask any team that needs one how important they are. The Philadelphia Eagles have seemingly decided, after some consideration, that it's time to upgrade the position.
Rick Lovato has enjoyed a pretty good tenure with the franchise and will leave as a Super Bowl 59 champion. He did, however, have some questionable snaps last season, and it appears the team he has called home for nine seasons has looked outside of the organization to add another body. This one comes to us by way of the Cleveland Browns.
Eagles sign Charley Hughlett and add Bryce Huff to the trade block
Charley Hughlett has been in the NFL since being an undrafted rookie free agent in 2012. He was added by the Dallas Cowboys before bouncing around and spending the last 11 seasons in Cleveland.
He was released on February 24, but he is headed to Philly thanks to a one year, $1.422 million deal. $467,500 is guaranteed. He receives a $167,500 signing bonus and $300,000 fully guaranteed.
The Birds have also reportedly added Bryce Huff to the trade block. He'll join Dallas Goedert there.
