Howard Eskin of WIP radio in Philadelphia reports that if the Philadelphia Eagles trade quarterback Kevin Kolb, they would possibly be interested in signing quarterback Brett Favre to back up Michael Vick.
Favre-to-the-Eagles would make sense as Eagles head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg coached Favre in Green Bay. The Eagles would also want an experienced backup to Vick, who missed four games during his Pro Bowl season in 2010 with various injuries.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com passes along a rumor that made its way through NFL circles last week which had Favre approaching the Seattle Seahawks about replacing Matt Hasselbeck in 2011.
The Seahawks declined interest and, since such contact is prohibited, deny that it ever happened.
Hasselbeck is an unrestricted free agent who declined a contract offer from the Seahawks prior to the lockout. In January, the Seahawks named Darrell Bevell offensive coordinator. Bevell was the offensive coordinator for the two seasons Favre spent with the Minnesota Vikings.
