Eagles to tag Vick, possibly trade Kolb

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will likely be given the franchise tag by the team, which will listen to offers for backup Kevin Kolb.

It was clear all along that the Eagles wanted to bring back Vick and would not allow him to become a free agent.

However, it is a bit surprising that they have decided to consider trading Kolb, who doesn’t want to be a backup.

With how often Vick gets injured and considering his reckless style of play, having a good backup quarterback seems important.

At the same time, the Eagles probably think they can get something in return for Kolb that will substantially upgrade their team or fill a hole.
