Jul 19, 2012 - 3:07 PM Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Flyers have signed restricted free agent defenseman Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators to an offer sheet.Terms were not disclosed in Philadelphia's release Thursday morning, but TSN of Canada on Wednesday night reported it to be a 14-year deal worth $100 million. The report indicated that the Flyers may have to give up a pair of first-round picks, as well as a second- and third-round selection if the Predators don't match.
