The Eagles have released 30-year old running back Brian Westbrook.  Westbrook played in 8 games for the Eagles last season and he carried the ball 61 times for 274 yards (4.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 25 passes for 181 yards (7.2 avg) with 1 TD grab last season.  The company line is that the Eagles released Westbrook before free agency began to give him a better shot of finding another team but the real reason that got rid of him is because he makes a lot of money and he’s injury prone.  Westbrook played in 107 games for the Eagles in his career and he carried the ball 1,308 times for 5,995 yards (4.6 ypc) with 37 TD runs.  He also caught 426 passes for 3,790 yards (8.9 avg) with 29 TD grabs.  Westbrook finishes his career with the Eagles #2 all-time in rushing yards, #3 in rushing TDs, #3 in receptions and #10 in receiving TDs.  The Eagles will give Lesean McCoy more carries in his second year and they will likely look to add at least one running back in free agency, through the draft or a trade to help McCoy with the workload.
