We usually try to limit PFT posts to one major topic, but two stories broke Monday afternoon that are unquestionably connected, and deserve to be together.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Jeff Garcia has agreed to a contract to return to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Meanwhile, A.J. Feeley has decided to join the Panthers, apparently spurning overtures from Philadelphia, according to multiple reports.

More to come shortly.

Just saw it on Schefters twitter. My take is that McNabb can't make his injury any worse by playing, but it may not get better either. Thus, he can play a game or two, but might end up having to take a week or two off at some point in the season just because of pain, so they wanted a quality backup who can win games instead of just manage games.

I wonder what Vick thinks about the Eagles going out and getting another QB. That will technically put 4 on the roster, as Vick will be back and active in a few weeks.

Could this be bad news for Kolb?

I could see if they picked up a low level Qb for safety, but Jeff Garcia is perhaps the best backup QB in the league right now (even starting material compared to certain teams), and he even knows the system. I see no reason they would want to keep Kolb around with McNabb, Garcia, and Vick.

Wow, in three weeks McNabb could go from starter to third string

He asked them to let him go. It probably would have caused them problems had they not obliged.
