Brian Westbrook
The Philadelphia Eagles have released RB Brian Westbrook. Westbrook, a two time pro bowler, suffered two concussions during the 2009 season.
He was a third round pick from Villanova by the Eagles in 2002. Westbrook is the Eagles all time rushing leader with 9,785 yards.
“Brian is one of the greatest Eagles of all time and he is an even better person and leader,” coach Andy Reid said. “In my mind, there has not been a more versatile running back that the NFL has seen. I had a conversation with Brian this morning to let him know. This is by far the most difficult part of this job. We wanted to make this move in order to maximize Brian’s chances of landing with another NFL team.”
