Warrick Dunn is currently a free agent and it appears as if he’s not ready to call it a career. One team that makes sense as a destination for Dunn is the Philadelphia Eagles.
Brian Westbrook is Philadelphia’s starter at running back but he’s had a couple of offseason surgeries and there’s no guarantee that he’ll be 100% for the season opener. Westbrook is a great running back however he will always be injury-prone.
Backing up Westbrook is LeSean McCoy. He’s a rookie who seems to have a bright future but if Westbrook’s status is in doubt, the Eagles will want more than just a rookie as insurance.
Enter Warrick Dunn.
Last season, Dunn played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had a relatively god season. He rushed for 786 yards and averaged 4.2 yards per rush. Even though he’s 34-years-old, he remains a crafty runner who is hard to hit.
In his career, Dunn has rushed for more than 10,000 yards with the Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons.
