Trout season opened this past March, but unlike previous years, they will no longer have a closing date. Beginning April 21, state trout streams will remain open year-round, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division said. “The Board of Natural Resources recently approved the lifting of seasonal restrictions on approximately 1,600 miles of trout waters,” John Biagi, fisheries section chief of the Wildlife Resources Division, said in a statement. “This decision,…

Other Eagles sign NFL deals

The NFL Draft is not the only way to get on an NFL team. Depending on the situation, signing as an undrafted free agent has its advantages. The player is just as much of a long-shot as a late rounder, yet has a little more control over where he goes. He and his agent can pick a spot or team that has real need. Many Eagles in the past few years have picked up Super Bowl rings by signing with the right team as a free agent (Herzy!). Here are the guys who didn't hear their names called over the weekend but still have a chance to make a team:

• Tyler Murphy -- signed with the Steelers. He will be part of their mini-camp and is listed as a WR. He has to show potential early for them to invest time in his transition from QB.
• Josh Keyes -- signed with Tampa Bay. He seems like a good fit for Smith's 4-3, Cover 2 scheme. He can cover a lot of ground and has good speed.
• Manny Asprilla -- signed with the Chargers. San Diego brought in 21 undrafted free agents. That seems like a shotgun approach. I don't love Asprilla's chances, but I am glad he'll get a shot.
• Bobby Vardaro -- signed with the Vikings. Their Fanside site considers him a potential backup.

49ers draft Silberman

I rushed my earlier post and failed to note that the 49ers selected Ian Silberman in the 6th round too. Congrats to Ian and I love that he gets to work with former BC assistant Steve Logan.

Silberman provides another good story for Addazio since he was a transfer who BC helped make better. Good luck to him.
