When the Philadelphia Eagles released Hank Baskett prior to the 2009 season, fans said goodbye to a player who provided plenty of memories during the first three years of his career. After one season with the Indianapolis Colts, Baskett will return to the team he started his career off with after signing a one-year deal with the Eagles. While he never possessed the skills as a top wideout for Philadelphia, Baskett provided the Eagles with a number of big plays over his three years [...] Continue reading →

For the second time this week, a star running back was released when the Philadelphia Eagles parted ways with Brian Westbrook after eight seasons. He is now a free agent and open to sign with another team. Once again, the Eagles' front office shows they aren't afraid to put business first when it comes to their beloved players. Last March, there was little effort to resign safety Brian Dawkins simply because they felt there was little gas left in his tank. In his first season with the Denver Broncos, he reached his eighth career Pro Bowl after finishing the regular season with 116 tackles, two interceptions, and one [...] Continue reading →

He's spent his entire eight-year career with the team after being selected in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft.

He leaves Philadelphia as the all-time leader in yards from scrimmage (9,785) and one of the most explosive backs in team history. As much as this move hurts for the fans to see Westbrook goes, the move [...] Continue reading →

About one month into the 2010 offseason, the rumors surrounding Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb’s status with the team next season seems to have become a more popular topic than whether or not Brett Favre will return to the Minnesota Vikings next season.

While Donovan McNabb's future with the Philadelphia Eagles remains to be the hot topic of the 2010 offseason, the organization may have to make another tough decision on the future of another one of their loyal players: Brian Westbrook. In a recent interview, Westbrook expressed to Dan Rather how he was unsure about his future status with the Eagles--a team he's spent his entire eight-year career with. "I'm not sure.

There have been numerous reports expressing how Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is showing interest with playing in a different city next season. He believes there are a number of teams he could start for in 2010 and have an impact on their offense now that he has a full season under his belt. If Vick remains an Eagle, he will most likely remain as the No. 3 quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb to go along with his random appearances in the wild-cat formation. The main question that Joe Banner & company should be asking themselves is would keeping him around really be worth all the [...] Continue reading →
