Eagles News: Hall Released, Westbrook Update

OLB Alex Hall, who was acquired in the trade that sent CB Sheldon Brown and OLB Chris Gocong to Cleveland, has been released today.

So, that worked out really well.

Coach Andy Reid said he thought Hall "would be good in a 3-4" which is the system he was in during his stint in Cleveland.

But we don't play 3-4 defense here, so why did we ever bring him into the fold if he wasn't a fit?
In other Eagles news, former Eagle Brian Westbrook is still on the market and NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reports that there are two teams most likely to land Westbrook's services.

The St. Louis Rams are still very interested in signing the former Birds' runningback, but they realize (as does Westbrook) that they are anything but a contending football team.

LaCanfora points out that the Washington Redskins remain the favorite, because Westbrook is from the D.C. area AND his brother plays for the Redskins AND they brought in Donovan McNabb AND they are a contender (like it or not Philly fans, they are a contender).

Westbrook probably won't take part in much, if any, training camp but within two weeks a decision could be coming.

LPS says to look for Minnesota as a late entry into the Westbrook derby.
