Brian Westbrook is Philadelphia’s starter at running back but he’s had a couple of offseason surgeries and there’s no guarantee that he’ll be 100% for the season opener. Westbrook is a great running back however he will always be injury-prone.

Backing up Westbrook is LeSean McCoy. He’s a rookie who seems to have a bright future but if Westbrook’s status is in doubt, the Eagles will want more than just a rookie as insurance.

Enter Warrick Dunn.

Last season, Dunn played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had a relatively god season. He rushed for 786 yards and averaged 4.2 yards per rush. Even though he’s 34-years-old, he remains a crafty runner who is hard to hit.

In his career, Dunn has rushed for more than 10,000 yards with the Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons.

Warrick Dunn to the Philadelphia Eagles?

- The Steelers lock up Ben Roethlisberger for 8 years, $102 million extension. Now only the Pittsburgh equipment manager will ever have to deal with his unwieldy last name.

- The Atlanta Falcons release Warrick Dunn after signing Michael Turner. This should fix everything. (Also, I’d like to note, I think Michael Turner was the third most important running back on the Chargers last year.)

- Randy Moss resigns with the Patriots for two years of dicking around and a third year of being unstoppable.

- Tampa Bay continues to build on their stable of mediocre NFL quarterbacks by adding Brian Griese.

- Mewelde Moore escapes the crowded Minnesota backfield, good for him.

- The Tennessee Titans sign possibly the greatest player ever named after that gunk in your fish tank, Alge Crumpler.
