The season was barely over when the Eagles told Kevin Kolb that Michael Vick was their quarterback and they try to accomodate the backup's desire to start, although it wouldn't be in Philadelphia.

I wrote that the day after the season ended. A few days later a reporter faithful to the Eagles said Kolb wasn't going to be shopped. Well the silent bidding has begun.

Now that the Eagles very publicly have attached the franchise tag to Vick, effectively locking him up for 2011, the asking price for Kolb finally has reached the national media. And the Eagles still think they can get a first-round pick for Kolb, although it almost certainly would be in the 2011 draft unless a new CBA is struck before the late April lottery.
