Eagles poach rookie linebacker Joe Bachie off Saints practice squad

We finally got someone poached that I wanted to keep. I expected more than 1 though, so it's not really that big of a deal imo.

A New Orleans Saints rookie is on the move: first-year linebacker Joe Bachie was signed away from the Saints’ practice squad by the Philadelphia Eagles, who the Saints will be visiting next week. Bachie initially signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State, earning higher contract guarantees than some drafted players.
Bachie, 22, was talked up often by veteran players and Saints linebackers coach Michael Hodges over the summer after quickly picking up the defense. But his struggles in making an impact on special teams kept him in reserve on the practice squad once final roster cuts were filed.
The Eagles defense is short handed in the back seven, having lost many of their notable linebackers and defensive backs to injuries or free agency. Top cornerback Darius Slay exited Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers with a leg injury that was reported to be not as severe as it first seemed, but his status is in question moving forwards.
There’s a chance Bachie could play against the Saints next week at Lincoln Financial Field. If he had found a niche to fill in the kicking game like other backups Craig Robertson or Kaden Elliss, he might have taken their roster spots. Philly can certainly use the help as their season circles the drain at 3-8-1.

Eagles stacked, saints fricked

Really hate to lose him. Would have liked to see how he developed. Saints not using protections on PS players cost them one.

He will be available after they pump him for information.

Guess that is one way to get the D signals.

Meh, this is poor form IMO. The week of a game between the two teams?

I love this part of the nfl. Its chess from the front office. Saints still have a better advantage in terms of inside info from the Jenkins signing.

I thought it was against NFL rules to sign a player off a teams practice squad a week before you play

Did he give the Eagles the Saints playbook?
