    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Brodrick Bunkley agreed to a six-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, ending the first-round pick's two-week holdout.Bunkley, the 14th pick in the NFL draft, missed 16 days of camp. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle won't play in Sunday's game against Oakland. The Eagles selected Bunkley to fill a glaring need in the middle of a line that hardly generated a strong rush on quarterbacks last season. At Florida State, Bunkley proved to be a versatile player who can rush the passer and stuff the run. He had nine sacks, 66 tackles and two fumble recoveries as a senior.Eagles coach Andy Reid and defensive coordinator Jim Johnson were concerned that Bunkley's absence from camp would delay his progress. One bright spot is that tackle is the easiest position to learn in Johnson's complex system.The other defensive tackles -- Corey Simon and Mike Patterson _ selected by the Eagles in the first round since 2000 started as rookies. Simon held out 12 days, while Patterson made it to camp on time.</div>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/foot...y.ap/index.html
