Randall Cunningham will soon be immortalized as an Eagles great.
The scrambling QB will be inducted into the team's Honor Roll at halftime of the Eagles game Sept. 27 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I'm so excited about this," Cunningham said from his home in Las Vegas. "I can't wait to get there. I still love Philadelphia."
He was a four-time Pro Bowl quarterback played for the Eagles from 1985-95. He will be joined at the ceremony by his wife, Felicity, his four children and his brother Sam, who played for the New England Patriots.
In his 11-year Eagles career, Cunningham threw for 22,877 yards and 150 touchdowns. He also rushed for 4,482 yards and 32 scores. He also played for Minnesota (where he won an MVP Award in 1998), Dallas and Baltimore before retiring.
"The Ultimate Weapon" won't be alone when he is honored. Two-way player Al Wistert will also be added to the Honor Roll.
Wistert as an eight-time All-Pro who played in the first Pro-Bowl in 1950 and was an important piece to the 1948 and 1949 championship teams, according to the Eagles Web site. He spent his entire career (1943-1951) with Philly and his No. 70 jersey was retired in 1952.

Randall already knows a little something about being honored.
"They retired my jersey in college (at UNLV), and that was awesome -- this is even more special," Cunningham said.
It will be only the second time this decade that the team will add to the 29-member (and two team) club. The last former player to join the Eagles' Honor Roll was the late Reggie White, inducted in 2005.
Now the question is if Canton will call next for Cunningham.
