Former Eagles RB Westbrook confirmed Eagles won’t keep QB Vick

Now running back Brian Westbrook was a free agent after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles. He began to understand more about NFL business and believes that the Eagles will not keep quarterback Michael Vick.

Westbrook seemed a bit disappointed with the decision made by the Eagles, who drafted him but released him after nine seasons.

"I was a little bit surprised. Thinking they maybe would give me an opportunity to renegotiate things," Westbrook said. "For [the Eagles], it’s always business, it’s always money. … We left it on good terms. I wouldn’t say they were bad terms at all."

As they did not hesitate to release a nine-year Eagle, it is almost sure that the Eagles will think less in getting rid of a one-year guy, who did not show much value during the only season in Philadelphia. So Westbrook said “definitely” Vick will put on another team’s NFL jerseys and predicted that the quarterback would be traded as that could not only save the Eagles a lot of money but also could bring them some wanted player as the price for Vick.

Eagles may lose both WR Jackson and RB Westbrook to concussions

While it was originally considered that wide receiver DeSean Jackson could help the Philadelphia Eagles overcome losing running back Brian Westbrook to concussion with his playmaking skills, it was now worried that whether the Eagles could play a good game this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons as Jackson has also been suffering a concussion.




Jackson’s playing status remains uncertain. Sustaining a concussion in last Sunday’s 27-24 win over the Washington Redskins while running a short crossing pattern in the third quarter, Jackson did not lose consciousness and left the field on his own without taking off his Eagles jersey. But missing the rest of the game itself has already showed some bad signs.

Jason Avant and rookie Jeremy Maclin filled in with Jackson’s absence. And the Eagles signed wide receiver Jordan Norwood off their practice squad Tuesday, another sign indicating that Jackson may not be available for this Sunday’s game.

Westbrook will be re-examined this week after missing the last two games with his second concussion of the season, and it is likely that rookie running back LeSean McCoy and veteran fullback Leonard Weaver will continue to fill at the position of running back in the backfield.
