| 1st June, 2005 - 3:11 pm |  ESPN - Running back Brian Westbrook showed up at the Eagles' voluntary passing camp Wednesday, ending his two-month contract holdout.
He signed his $1.43 million, one-year tender offer Wednesday and will participate in the team's optional camp.
Westbrook, one of the most versatile player in the NFL, is coming off a breakout season in which he led the team with 1,515 total yards and was tops among NFL running backs with 73 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns, despite sitting out the last two regular season games. Westbrook was a key component of the Eagles' trip to the Super Bowl and caught a 10-yard touchdown pass in the Eagles' 24-21 loss to the Patriots.
He has been seeking a long-term contract but had until June 15 to sign a $1.43 million restricted free agent tender or risk having it reduced. Westbrook, who still would prefer a multiyear deal, is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2005 season.
In his three-year career, Westbrook has rushed for 1,618 yards and 10 touchdowns and caught 119 passes for 1,121 yards and 10 scores. [READ] |
