The Colts traded FB Luke Lawton to Philadelphia for a conditional draft pick in the 2009 draft.

Lawton, a versatile player, spent time on various practice squads before earning a spot on the Colts' regular roster, mostly as a special teams player, last season. The Eagles lost FB Thomas Tapeh when he signed with the Vikings this off-season, and they brought in former Colt Dan Klecko along with Jason Davis and rookie Jed Collins.

Commentary: Apparently, Eagles coach Andy Reid and his staff haven't been impressed with free-agent acquisitions Klecko, Davis, or Collins. Lawton can also be a long-snapper and returned five kicks last season.

Fantasy Impact: None
