Corey Simon got the two things he wanted: financial security and an outstanding opportunity to return to the Super Bowl. Simon will probably play left tackle, alongside left end Raheem Brock, who is a former Eagles draft pick and a Temple product. Larry Triplett, who has just one sack in three seasons, had been listed as the starter at left tackle. The Colts are not on the Eagles' schedule, but Simon said he wouldn't mind a reunion with his old teammates in Detroit, site of Super Bowl XL.

By letting [Corey Simon] go, the Eagles sent a clear message they have enough confidence in their remaining defensive tackles. Former starter Hollis Thomas is expected to take Simon's spot, and Darwin Walker is the other starter. Rookie first-round pick Mike Patterson has been impressive in the preseason and quickly is working his way into the rotation. Reserve Sam Rayburn had an outstanding season last year and also will see plenty of action.

Giants GM Ernie Accorsi said he was not aware of the move and would not comment on [Corey Simon]. Simon, 28, was the Eagles' No. 1 pick in 2000, the sixth player taken. Simon has 32 sacks in five seasons.

In the 27-6 victory over the Giants [Corey Simon] generated a season- high five tackles, including his first behind the line of scrimmage all year, and 1.5 sacks. Simon's first big play Sunday came when he and [Sam Rayburn] shared a sack of Eli Manning on the Giants' first possession. Simon also tackled wide receiver Jamaar Taylor for an 8-yard loss on a second- quarter reverse, and had another sack on the Giants' next possession.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Indianapolis Colts, hoping to fix their one glaring weakness, reached a multi-year agreement Thursday with Corey Simon, a Pro Bowl defensive tackle released by Philadelphia in a contract dispute.

The Eagles placed the franchise tag on former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Corey Simon on Thursday. Simon had 24 tackles and 5 1/2 sacks this past season and could become an unrestricted free agent March 2. Philadelphia would have seven days to match any offer made to Simon. If it declines, it receives two first-round picks. Simon could play next season under a one-year deal for $5.134-million, the average of the five highest-paid defensive tackles.

The improvement is surprising, considering the Eagles lost run- stopping defensive tackle Hollis Thomas for the season because of a knee injury suffered early in training camp, and also because they were without defensive tackle Corey Simon for the past two games because of an ankle injury. \"Our guys are tackling well in the secondary,\" Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said. \"I think [strong safety] Blaine Bishop has been one of the factors. He's been a sound tackler; I don't see him missing tackles. And I think our pursuit's good. A guy like [linebacker] Shawn Barber is making a lot of plays from the backside.\" The Bucs' Michael Pittman, familiar to the Eagles from his years in Arizona, has rushed 90 times for 309 yards. And 6-1, 248-pound fullback Mike Al-stott has rushed 50 times for 208 yards and four touchdowns, including a 126-yard effort last week against Cleveland.
