ESPN.com has learned that nine-year veteran defensive end Hugh Douglas agreed to a deal that will send him back to the Philadelphia Eagles, less than 12 hours after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday.

For the second time in a week, the Jacksonville Jaguars have lopped off a veteran who was supposed to provide the team with a consistent outside pass rush, as the club on Monday released nine-year veteran defensive end Hugh Douglas, a high-profile free-agent acquisition just a year ago.

Continuing the wholesale overhauling of their defense, the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday signed one of the most prized commodities from the unrestricted free agent market, snatching three-time Pro Bowl end Hugh Douglas from the clutches of his more publicized suitors.
