Sign Those Letters of Intent

Jason La Canfora:

The Philadelphia Eagles began sending letters to borderline draftable players about a year ago, laying the foundation for signing them after the draft.

The letters detailed Philly’s interest in a player, and their intention to contact said player after the draft if he is not selected. The Indianapolis Colts, with rookie general manager Ryan Grigson having just left the Eagles a few months ago, have begun the process of sending letters to likely UFAs this year.

Weird story. It’s like college recruiting.

Kolb Due $7 Million Roster Bonus

Jason La Canfora, for NFL.com:

Kolb will earn a $10 million signing bonus and $2 million salary in 2011. He’s due a $7 million roster bonus this March, which conceivably could be declined by the Cardinals, meaning they would could get out of Kolb’s deal after paying him just $12 million over one year.

Hypothetically, could the younger namesake end up back in Philly in the not-too-distant future?
