PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles claimed veteran defensive tackle Amon Gordon off waivers from the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday and also added two Canadian Football League players to their defense.
The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Gordon has 29 tackles in 13 career games over a five-year career that has included stints with the Titans, Ravens, Broncos and Browns, who drafted him out of Stanford. The Titans added him to the practice squad midway through 2008.
The Eagles also signed linebacker Charleston Hughes and safety Byron Parker, each to three-year contracts.
The 6-1, 244-pound Hughes had 71 tackles and five sacks in 18 games for the Calgary Stampeders in 2008. He had 372 tackles and six interceptions in 45 games at Division II Northwood University from 2003-2006.
The 5-11, 193-pound Parker, a four-year CFL veteran with the Toronto Argonauts, has 18 interceptions over the past three seasons, six returned for TDs.
