Pasquarelli: Eagles won't resign Westbook
ESPN.com's Len Paquarelli reports in his "Heard in the Press Box (Atlanta)" section: "The Philadelphia Eagles will not be able to re-sign tailback Brian Westbrook to a contract extension. And they definitely will not use the franchise tag to retain his rights."
If this report has any validity then it is very disturbing. The Eagles have over $10 million in cap space this year and Westbrook has proven to be one of the most valuable Eagles. The Eagles modus operandi is to never pay more for a player than they think he is worth. Generally, this strategy has served them well, but like everything that Andy Reid gets involved in, they become stubborn about it and take it too far.
If the Eagles let Westbrook walk without replacing him with someone like Shaun Alexander, then they will be making a big mistake.
