"Every time I mention Philadelphia, Eric's ears perk up," said Greg Johnson, who represents the 32-year-old Bills wide receiver along with his partner, Harry Henderson.

Linebacker Keith Adams, who started all 16 games for the Eagles at weak-side linebacker last year, was in Tempe, Ariz.

The Eagles actually added two wide receivers on Wednesday, first re-signing Darnerien McCants and then adding Jabar Gaffney.

Koy Detmer's departure drew a big step closer yesterday when a source close to the situation confirmed that the Eagles have agreed in principle to a 1-year contract with Detroit Lions free-agent quarterback Jeff Garcia.

The Philadelphia Eagles released the exiled Owens on Tuesday, ending a tumultuous, two-year relationship with the wide receiver.

Terrell Owens, who was kicked off the Eagles in November, will be released or traded before he's due to receive a $5 million roster bonus on Wednesday.

The Denver Broncos invited Terrell Owens for a chat last month, but they have seemed no more than lukewarm since.
