Update (4:45 PM): Bruce MacLeod has scooped George Sipple (who got stonewalled by Nill*): $500,000 for the year. It’ll be quite the steal if Eaves can come close to Cleary’s performance his first year here.

More from MacLeod here. - Matt

Update (4:20 PM): Kyle’s got more on Eaves here. - Matt

Finally, some positive news: Patrick Eaves for one year.

First impression is that this is a solid signing of a guy who, as Kyle put it, is a “great reclamation project.” (Kyle–of Babcock’s Death Stare–called this last month) He’s been underwhelming since his rookie year, but with the right mix of linemates, he could contribute offensively while bringing an edge to the bottom six.

Mirtle has the press release from the team here. Eaves’ Wikipedia page is here.

More tonight after work.

*”The team said today it would not disclose additional terms of the deal.”
