Appearing on the “Cover Two Podcast” with Steve Wyche and Bucky Brooks, Eagles president Joe Banner openly discussed how the team is actively entertaining trade offers for cornerback Asante Samuel, who could be the odd man out in the secondary after the acquisitions of Nnamdi Asomugha (free agency) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (trade).

Far from being a knee-jerk reaction, the Eagles’ decision to trade Donovan McNabb and elevate Kevin Kolb to starting QB was a much-discussed topic at team headquarters during the offseason.

Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Morrissey writes that what Bears fans didn’t like about Kyle Orton as a quarterback, fans in Denver have completely accepted. What Orton lacks in style, he more than makes up for in results. He’s 25-12 as a starter.

Moments after the Eagles finished introducing newly-signed QB Michael Vick on Friday, his agent, Joe Segal, made the interview rounds inside the team’s NovaCare Complex.

The Eagles will not be signing any available running backs, instead opting to go with guys already on the roster. That could be a big boost to fantasy value of LeSean McCoy.
