Eagles Snag RB Booker In Trade With Dolphins

POSTED: 10:46 pm EDT April 26, 2008

(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Eagles acquired running back Lorenzo Booker from the Miami Dolphins in a draft-day trade, the team announced Saturday.

Philadelphia acquired the 5-foot-11, 191-pound Booker in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick (115th overall).

Booker, a third-round pick out of Florida State in 2007, played in seven games for the Dolphins last season, rushing for 125 yards on 28 carries and catching 28 passes for 127 yards.

"I was definitely shocked," Booker said. " It is kind of weird, because everything has been going so well (in Miami). It's not to say that what just happened was a bad thing, but the question was, was I shocked."

Over his four-year career in Tallahassee, Booker racked up 497 carries for 2,389 yards and 15 touchdowns, while snaring 114 passes for 995 yards and a pair of scores. He joins a crowded Eagles backfield that already includes Brian Westbrook, Correll Buckhalter, Tony Hunt and Ryan Moats.
