Smith also has invites from four other teams.

Eagles fans have openly coveted Cardinals' receiver Anquan Boldin, who is not a free agent but could be made available in a trade.

But Smith, 27, is a big, late-blooming defensive end who can play the run and rush the passer. His improved play shored upa Cardinals defense that made it to the Super Bowl.

Signing Smith would also free up the Eagles to draft two offensive players with their first round draft picks in April.

Anthony Gargano says another player on the Eagles' radar is reportedly Bengals offensive lineman Stacy Andrews, the older brother of Shawn Andrews.

Andrews, 27, is a solid player coming off reconstructive knee surgery.

The Eagles are still in the hunt for two long-time players on their own roster - Brian Dawkins and Tra Thomas.

Both went unsigned with the start of free agency on Friday.

Dawkins is believed to have been offered a one-year contract with the Eagles.
