Kevin Kolb wants out of Philadelphia if Michael Vick as a starter. As we speculated last night, the Eagles don’t sound particularly inclined to grant Kolb his wish.
I’d love to have them all back,” Andy Reid said Monday. “I’m fired up that[Kolb] thinks that way. If you have a quarterback, really any player but particularly at quarterback, that’s not thinking that he wants to be a starter and a great football player, then you have a problem. That’s one of the things I love about him.”

It’s early for Reid to be thinking about personnel decisions.

“I was hoping we’d still be playing. I haven’t gone in some of the directions that you folks are going,” Reid said. “To tell you, I would love to have him back. I would tell you the same thing about Michael.”

The logical move is to bring both guys back, whether Kolb likes it or not. Until Vick gets a long-term extension, no other option really makes sense.
