			<title>Titans Officially Land Eagles Restricted Free Agent DE Jason Babin</title>

			<description><![CDATA[The Tennessee Titans have officially landed veteran defensive end Jason Babin after the Philadelphia Eagles declined to match the one-year, $1 million offer sheet executed by the Titans on Wednesday. "We're happy our deal with Jason worked out," Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said in a statement. "He's a high-energy player and a good pass rusher, and he fits what we do very well. He has all offseason to come in and work with Coach (Jim) Washburn and become a part of our rotation at defensive end." Babin was an unrestricted free agent, but a right-of-first-refusal clause was written into his previous contract with the Eagles that gave them one week to match another team's offer and retain his rights. The Eagles notified the NFL office they didn't want to match today, and as a result the deal between the Titans and Babin became binding. "I've been trying not to think about it too much because the Eagles had the right to match the offer, and I didn't know what they'd do," Babin said. "I'm ecstatic right now. I can't wait to get in there, start working out with the team and go through the offseason with Coach Washburn and the other players and coaches there. The style of defense the Titans play, as far as what the defensive line does and the way they want their guys to play, it suits my abilities. They get wide, they come off the ball, they rush the passer, and they're aggressive. To me, it's just a natural fit." Added Titans coach Jeff Fisher: "Jason is one of those guys that has a knack of getting to the quarterback. He's not an every-down player, but he'll play a lot of snaps for us. With a real good off-season and working with Coach Washburn, I think he has a real good chance to get to the quarterback, which is important for us."

			<description><![CDATA[Ex-Eagles offensive guard Shawn Andrews was remarkably upbeat to the point where it almost seemed like he was serving as the spokesman for a franchise that cut ties with him Wednesday morning. "To be honest, I wasn't," Andrews said when asked if he was surprised. "I said actually earlier when I was Twitting. Sometimes when you expect things, it doesn't hurt as much. It was just a matter of when. I knew it was going to happen, or had a feeling. I'm a realist. I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later because they went to their lengths with me, and I appreciate it." Andrews has clearly gone through the exercise of putting himself in the shoes of the people making decisions within the Eagles' organization. He apologized to his teammates, the city and his fans for being a distraction. "I think that my whole situation with depression, it brought a lot of hoopla on the positive side and the negative side, and that in itself is just a distraction to the whole organization," Andrews said. "And that's why from a standpoint of me being real with myself first and foremost, as a business, it doesn't look good. And they have to do what they have to do. And I really, really apologize from the bottom of my heart that I had to put the whole city, the fans, my teammates, everybody through what I put them though. And I do apologize until I'm 10 toes to the sky. So everybody's gonna judge me and say what they want, but hey, I love life. Go Eagles."

NFL Network did get some sound today from Eagles Team Cam, sound bytes from Vick and Kolb, who were present at the team's offseason conditioning program. "You know, the goal is to stay team-oriented," Vick said. "Whether I'm here or somewhere else, the main objective is to win. And, I'm here to help us do that. If I get the opportunity to go play somewhere else, or have the opportunity to play here, I think that's great. I'll be well-prepared." And then there was this from Kolb, who was less transparent in his team-first approach and at least admitted he wants to be the starter. "Obviously my goal is to be the starter and to start for 16 games and to lead this team as far as we can go," Kolb said. "Personally, I don't have a lot of personal goals right now, they're more team-oriented, besides me getting on the field and proving I can take over this thing."

			<description><![CDATA[As expected, the Eagles have agreed on terms of a three-year contract extension with newly acquired defensive end Darryl Tapp, a league source said. Tapp had signed a low-level tender with the Seahawks yesterday before getting traded to the Eagles last night for defensive end Chris Clemons and the second of the Eagles' two fourth-round picks. A few hours after the trade was finalized, the Eagles and Tapp agreed on contract terms.

Tapp had just signed a low-level tender with the Seahawks yesterday before getting traded and averaged $675,000 per year during his four years with Seattle, including a base of $820,330 last year.  The source said the Eagles would not have finalized the deal for Tapp if they didn't believe they could get a new contract done.

			<title>Eagles QB Kevin Kolb Could Get Contract Extension?</title>

			<description>The next thing to look for would be extension talks. Kevin Kolb and agent Jeff Nalley could really squeeze the Birds by not agreeing to an extension, forcing that franchise-tag payout in 2011, assuming there is a collective bargaining agreement at some point and that free-agency rules remain close to what they were before. If Kolb had to sit behind McNabb for a fourth year in a row, he might not be in a mood to do the organization any favors.

			<title>Rich Gannon Says Donovan McNabb Should Change His Offseason Routine</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Quarterback Donovan McNabb, who is being shopped by Eagles management, won't be in Philadelphia this week for the start of the team's voluntary workouts. It's not that he's angered by the trade talk; it's just his normal offseason routine, and he chooses to work out in Phoenix instead of Philadelphia. Former league MVP Rich Gannon says that's a mistake. "I know the guy (McNabb) is a fine player," Gannon told the Dallas Morning News. "But I do know this: I know that he gets on a plane at the end of the season, and he heads back to Arizona. He likes being there. I know he brings players out there to work out. I'm sure he participates in the (Eagles') minicamp. I just don't know if in this day and age you can operate that way. I think a lot of success in your program really starts, a lot can get accomplished, in that offseason program. I think it's important to be in the weight room with this guys. I think it's important to be throwing to the young receivers. Look at Drew Brees. He lives in New Orleans. I think it's important to be a fixture not only in the community but in that building, particularly toward the development of young players."

			<title>Trade Market Slow For Eagles QB Michael Vick Due To Eroded Skills?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com asked a friend who is an NFL scout for his evaluation of Michael Vick in 2009 as a quarterback and trick-play decoy in Philadelphia's Wildcat sets. The scout watched all 64 snaps that Vick appeared and the results weren't pretty. "He can't throw," the scout said. "A guy could be open 20 yards downfield and he'll throw it 25. He never could throw, but he was fast before. It's not like he's slow now but he doesn't stick out like, "Wow, this guy is faster than everybody." Marvez then sent a text message to a top NFL personnel director asking whether the lack of trade buzz surrounding Vick stems from the fact he is no longer a special athletic talent. "Right on," the director said.
