5 years for about 5 million per year...this is exactly what the eagles needed to do at this time, now they need to give him the damn ball

Nice!!

Good job by the Eagles. They really need him.

17 carries for 24 yards? Pathetic. I don't like this signing. I think they need a real RB that can actually run the ball.

Eh it was not like Portis had a wonderful game either. It is true though he is not a running back, but they got him cheap. He would have made more $ if he went elsewhere. They do not have a Oline made for the run.

I don't think it's worth not having a running game for the 40-60 yards receiving Westbrook will give them a game. That's not a way to be successful in this league.

it's playcalling, reid is running a little more now, but not committing to it. westbrook with a good scheme and the right ratio of touches should be good for an average of 80 running and 80 receiving a game. that's what they signed him for, it's up to andy to make it happen.

interesting.

Reid needs to quit calling plays, he's horrible at it. Not having Westbrook on the field for the last play last night was stupid.
