The Bengals have lost their first unrestricted free agent.

Tight end Matt Schobel will sign with the Philadelphia Eagles, a source told the Enquirer this afternoon.

Schobel played four seasons with the Bengals. He had 18 receptions for 193 yards and one touchdown in 2005 and played, at times, as a blocking H-back in shot-gun passing formations.

Schobel had 90 receptions, nine for touchdowns, in four seasons in Cincinnati.

Terms of the new deal with the Eagles were not yet available.
