The Eagles have extended the contract of quarterback Kevin Kolb by one year. The deal is worth $12.25 million, all of it guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kolb was only under contract for the 2010 season after taking over as Philadelphia's starter following the Donovan McNabb trade.

Peter King of Sports Illustrated writes that if the Raiders do ultimately cut quarterback JaMarcus Russell loose, it's quite possible that he could land in the NFC East. Washington lacks depth at the position after dealing Jason Campbell to Oakland and Philadelphia's stable of quarterbacks is still in flux following the Donovan McNabb trade.

The Broncos have traded the 13th overall pick to the Eagles. Denver had already moved back from 11th to 13th in a deal with San Francisco. Philadelphia sends the 24th pick and two third rounds to Denver for the selection. The Eagles used the pick to take Michigan pass rusher Brandon Graham.

A source close to Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb is denying reports that the former Eagle is lobbying his new team to sign wide receiver Terrell Owens. The source admitted that McNabb and Owens have become friendly since patching up their public feud, but they aren't close buddies and the quarterback hasn't urged new Washington coach Mike Shanahan to sign the receiver. "Believe me, Donovan is not petitioning for anybody," the source said.

The Eagles have dealt this year's fifth-round pick to the Broncos, which is sending tight end Tony Scheffler to the Lions, who will trade linebacker Ernie Sims to Philly. The Eagles announced the three-way deal in a statement Monday, three days before the NFL draft, according to an Associated Press report.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is excited for his first meaningful draft with the team. Roseman spent his first draft with Philadelphia sitting in the corner of the war room handling the phone and relaying each selection to a team representative in New York. He was promoted to general manager when Tom Heckert left for Cleveland. Philadelphia has 11 picks this month. "A lot of listening in those early years, listening to the discussions, listening to the thought process, taking notes," Roseman said. "I'm sitting there with my computer and a pad. I thought it was invaluable. It was a great experience for me to see the thought process that went into it. It was a great experience to be in that position in those early years. They had a lot of trust in me."

The Eagles are looking to move up in next week's NFL Draft, according to Peter King of Sports Illustrated. "The Eagles are in a very small club, teams that want to jump up from low in the first round to the upper half," King writes. King adds that Philadelphia wants one of the two top safeties in the draft, Tennessee's Eric Berry or Earl Thomas of Texas. The Eagles have picks No. 24, 35, 55 and 70, which could help them move up.

Sheldon Brown had some interesting things to say last week after the Eagles traded him to the Browns. The cornerback made a pair of appearances on the radio. He hinted that some of his former teammates didn't always buy into what Philadelphia's coaching staff was saying. "I just think, we as a defense in Philadelphia, you just have to believe in what coach [Sean] McDermott preaches and follow the plan," Brown told Howard Eskin and Ike Reese. "You know, sometimes I look back at last year, the season, I feel that we had some players that really was questioning some of the things that were being done. And [we] never had that situation since I've been there. And first and foremost, you have to believe in the system, believe in the plan, or you lose before you even go out there. And if the guys can remember to do that, stick together, they'll be fine."

Jeff Garcia could be an option for the Eagles, especially if they opt to trade quarterback Michael Vick. Garcia has already had two runs with Philadelphia and the Daily News writes that he would be an ideal veteran mentor to new starter Kevin Kolb.

The Eagles are still hoping to trade quarterback Michael Vick, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. After trading Donovan McNabb to the Redskins, the Eagles are rather thin at quarterback. Paul Domowitch of the Daily News points out that even if they keep Vick, to go along with starter Kevin Kolb and possibly a rookie, they'd have to add a veteran to the mix as insurance.
