Eagles sign free-agent DB Marlin Jackson (AP)

Marlin Jackson's surgically repaired knees didn't scare off the Philadelphia Eagles. Still looking to replace Brian Dawkins, the Eagles are taking a chance on Jackson. They signed the free agent defensive back to a two-year contract on Wednesday. A 2005 first-round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts, Jackson is coming off a pair of season-ending knee injuries.

Eagles Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Eagles decided to pay the $1.5 million roster bonus to quarterback Mike Vick on Monday, as he was not traded or released by the 4 p.m. EST deadline.

Vick believes he can be a starting quarterback again after not having been one since 2006. Obviously, the question is whether other NFL teams believe he can, and whether he is worth the financial, draft-pick and time investment a team would need to make that decision.

The financial part goes beyond the $3.75 million base salary in Vick's contract for 2010. Once that roster bonus is paid, $1 million of his salary becomes guaranteed.

In addition, there are $2.75 million in incentives that become very reachable if Vick is a team's starting quarterback.

Michael Vick says the Philadelphia Eagles exercised their 2010 option on him, meaning the quarterback will receive a $1.5 million roster bonus sometime this week. That doesn't necessarily guarantee he'll return to the Eagles for another season. Vick was signed as a free agent with Philadelphia before the 2009 season and played sparingly as the backup to Donovan McNabb.
