Newsbreakers
January 19, 2010
Brian Westbrook's troublesome left knee could be what ultimately forces him to retire this offseason, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Our View:Westbrook is believed to be seeking out different medical opinions as to what to do. Unless he is unequivocally not allowed to play by his doctors, expect him to suit up for one more season in 2010, either in Philadelphia or elsewhere.
January 18, 2010
Brian Westbrook seems likely to retire from his NFL career at some point this offseason, according to Pro Football Talk.

Our View:The super-crafty but oft-injured back is due to earn $7.25 million in Philadelphia next year under his current contract and will certainly be cut by the Eagles at that figure. With his constantly nagging knee issues and current recovery from a concussion, Westbrook also could potentially have trouble passing a physical should another team pursue him. Westbrook was one of the best all-around backs this past decade, but it looks like we may have seen the last of his time on the field. We'll be sure to hear more about his status throughout the offseason.
January 8, 2010
Brian Westbrook is not expected to be a major part of Philadelphia's offensive attack against the Cowboys on Saturday, according to PhillyBurbs.com.

Our View:Westbrook will get at least some portion of Philly's snaps but will be splitting time with LeSean McCoy and Leanord Weaver, and thus does not make for a strong commodity in fantasy playoff leagues.
January 7, 2010
Adam Caplan of Scout.com puts the chances of Brian Westbrook retiring this offseason at better than 50-50.

Our View:Westbrook has long been one of the most injury prone players in the league, and at age 30, usually a turning point age in the careers of running backs, he could be headed for a steep decline.
January 3, 2010
Brian Westbrook was largely unimpressive on Sunday, gaining just 17 yards on five carries and 20 yards on four catches in a loss to Dallas.

Our View:Westbrook has been essentially worthless since returning from injury. He has failed to gain 100 yards or get into the end zone since coming back and the Eagles have relied heavily on the pass as a result.
