"After spending a year in San Francisco with the 6-10 49ers, Brian Westbrook doesn't sound like he's ready to call it quits.

The former Eagles great was in town for an autograph-signing event over the weekend and said he would love to return and play for Andy Reid.

"I talk to Coach Reid every week or so," Westbrook told NBC 10 and Comcast SportsNet. "We always talk. And I would love to be back in Philly, so we'll see how things go."

Westbrook carried 77 times for 340 yards (4.4 YPC) and had 16 receptions for 150 yards last season. In two games against the Cardinals, he had 36 carries for 215 yards. In all the other games combined, he had 41 carries for 125 yards.

But at the age of 31, he thinks he can still play.

"I think I can help out," he said. "I think they have a very good group of young guys on the team, as far as every position. But I still think that I can help this team win."

While the Eagles have generally been open to veterans leaving and then returning (see Jeremiah Trotter and Hugh Douglas), a Westbrook return would seem unlikely.

With that being said, backup running back is a hole that will need to be addressed at some point. Jerome Harrison received a second-round tender last week, but he has five years of experience, and it's unclear what the chances are of him returning until the CBA is resolved."
