Not surprising that Deon is capitalizing on that USFL championship game MVP performance and turning that into another chance in the NFL.
I am a little surprised that it has taken this long to materialize, however.
About a week after the championship game, the Stallions terminated his USFL contract because he was signing with a NFL team.
Don't know if he had a verbal agreement that fell through or if he was just anticipating an offer.
Anyways, the Eagles are hosting him for a workout - that was the last NFL team that he went through training camp with.
EDIT: After the workout, the Eagles have signed Cain to a contract.
