Marlin Jackson’s comeback from a second season-ending knee injury will continue in Philadelphia. The Indianapolis Colts’ 2005 first-round draft pick, who missed 21 regular-season games the past two years with knee injuries, signed a two-year contract with the Eagles on Wednesday reportedly worth $6 million

For the second straight year, the Eagles opened free agency by signing a player coming off major knee surgery. Defensive back Marlin Jackson and the Eagles came to terms yesterday on a two-year deal loaded with incentives. While they took a bit of a gamble last season when they signed offensive lineman Stacy Andrews to a long-term deal, the Eagles were cautious in signing Jackson

NORMALLY, TRACY Leinen arranges travel for the Eagles. Yesterday, she was trying to prevent it. Leinen, the Birds’ director of travel operations, was dispatched to chase down Marlin Jackson as the free-agent defensive back was walking out the NovaCare front door yesterday afternoon, headed for a planned visit with the Jets

The Eagles’ newest free safety is coming off a knee injury and will switch positions to accommodate their defensive scheme.

The Browns, who have the No. 7 pick in the draft, have inquired about both quarterbacks, according to numerous reports

Michael Vick is unsure of his future with the Eagles. Wherever the quarterback lands next season, he’s likely to face protests similar to the one he confronted yesterday. On the day the Eagles officially picked up his $1.5 million roster bonus, Vick was here to receive the Ed Block Courage Award

Finally, a free-agent visit. The Eagles apparently see Marlin Jackson as a free safety, and there seems to be a pretty good chance that Jackson will be signed by the time he is scheduled to meet with reporters today at 11 a.m

As a Seattle Seahawks fan, I try to be as objective and unbiased as possible, but this one simply has me giddy inside so please forgive me. Multiple sources, most notably ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio, have confirmed the Seattle Seahawks have been in consistent contact with the Philadelphia Eagles in regards to Quarterbacks Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb. I reported yesterday here that the Seahawks have been linked to Kevin Kolb and at that time nothing was official, but since then , Mr
