Howard Eskin of WIP radio in Philly reports that the Eagles could sign quarterback Brett Favre as a backup to Mike Vick, after Kevin Kolb is shipped out of town.

Sources told Eskin, who serves as a sideline reporter for the team’s radio broadcasts, that it’s “possible” the Eagles will sign Favre.
 
lol!!!!!

Oh come on!


Favre is going to sign to be a backup?


I know the guy never wants to let go but I can't see him wanting to sign to be a back up.
 
Now, would this be a pre-season if a real rumor concerning Bret Farve was not included?

But I bet that thoughts of possibly throwing to the Eagle's group of receivers would bring real imaginations even to Bret.
 
I hope they do this, you know just cause of his play style that Vick is going to get injured at some point and grampa Favre will have to play some
 
There is NO way in this world or any other that Favre comes back as a backup.

RT @Jay_Glazer: Let's end the uproar now, 2 Eagles sources tell me an emphatic No to Favre coming there to back up Michael Vick.

I just ain't buying this story (and that was my opinion even before the Eagles sources denied it).

First of all, the Eagles would be stupid to do it because having such a high profile backup would be a bigger distraction than it would be worth. But of course the Eagles have made stupid decisions in the past, so that leads me to...

Second of all, and most importantly, I don't see any way whatsoever Brett Favre signs on anywhere as a backup.
 
*waiting for the inevitable Favre seeks attention claims even though he had nothing to do with this*

i think this would be a great deal for favre. the playbook if the same. favre would not pull the same stuff he pulled with vikings. reid is the coach and favre is a player and there will be no changing plays. i think that favre woud be great backup. he still has a great arm. the rest of his body is shot. he could play at a high level in limited duty.
 
My dad lives in South Jersey, and he was tellig me that the latest out of Philly was that they were lookin at Reggie Bush.
 
I am sure Favre would not come back to be a backup, but I'm also sure Andy Reid has his number on speed-dial and if Vick gets hurt, he'll call Favre. They have probably already discussed it, and that is probably where the rumor came from.
