Garcia signs with Eagles

PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb is not ruling himself out for the Eagles' game against New Orleans next Sunday despite suffering a cracked rib on Sunday. Philadelphia got some insurance on Monday, just in case.

The Eagles reached agreement with quarterback Jeff Garcia, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Garcia, a 10-year veteran, played for Philadelphia in 2006 and went 5-1 in six starts in relief of an injured McNabb.

Good move for the Eagles. Garcia is familiar with their system and did a good job filling in for Don a few years back.

There was supposed to have been tension between McNabb and Garcia last time, hence Philly's decision to let him go.

There was a faction of Philly fans that wanted the team to keep Garcia and trade McNabb. Throw that in with the Vick fans and you've got the potential for the wildest QB controversy of all time.

Curious move - I'm wondering if this signals that the Eagles are not confident in Michael Vick's ability to be a starting quarterback in a pinch.

Well, there might be some truth there. But if they didn't sign anyone, they are going into week 2 with Kolb and an injured McNabb, since Vick can't play until week 3.

So, they'd basically be facing the Saints with only one available QB. I don't think any team wants to do that.
