I hate to be a killjoy, but I have to shoot down a juicy Eagles-related story that's been making the rounds this week.
Tebow To The Birds?
Ben Zubak
With Donovan McNabb traded away (and Vick could be traded as well), Philadelphia finds themselves looking to add another quarterback to their roster either with a veteran or, more likely, in the draft.
EAGLES TRADE QB DONOVAN MCNABB TO REDSKINS
Donovan McNabb is changing uniforms and staying in the NFC East.
The Philadelphia Eagles traded McNabb to the Washington Redskins for a pair of draft picks on Sunday night. The Eagles will receive a second-round pick (37th overall) in this month's NFL draft and either a third- or fourth-round pick next year.
WEAVER�S AGENT: EXTENSION TALKS ONGOING
GEOFF MOSHER Just spoke to Harold Lewis, agent for Eagles fullback Leonard Weaver. He took a quick break from the action at the nearby Pacers’ game to tell me that contract extension talks between he and the Eagles have taken place and will continue.
Another meeting will take place before the combine ends.
Julius Peppers might be Eagles' target
Jeff McLane
Some splashes are bigger than others.
For the team that signs Julius Peppers, it would be a cannonball-sized plunge into the NFL free agent waters and one that could leave all competitors soaked.
Westbrook 'not sure' if he'll be back with Birds
Last week, Brian Westbrook spoke at length about his concussions during a radio interview with former teammate Blaine Bishop.
He also said there was "no question" in his mind that Donovan McNabb would be back with the Eagles.
