The Philadelphia Eagles announced Tuesday they will release RB Brian Westbrook.

A news conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET Tuesday to announce the move.

"Brian is one of the greatest Eagles of all time and he is an even a better person and leader," coach Andy Reid said. "In my mind, there has not been a more versatile running back that the NFL has seen. I had a conversation with Brian this morning to let him know. This is by far the most difficult part of this job. We wanted to make this move in order to maximize Brian's chances of landing with another NFL team."

Westbrook, who has been with the Eagles since 2002, is the franchise's all-time leader in yards (9,785) after being selected in the third round from Villanova.

"Brian Westbrook is one of the most electric players in the history of this franchise and is certainly also one of the most popular," Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. "He was personally one of my favorite players to watch each and every Sunday and his playmaking abilities, leadership and values will be missed."

Said team president Joe Banner: "We all know how valuable Brian was as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and he will certainly go down as one of the greatest Eagles of all time. But what really showed me how special a person Brian is, was watching the way he interacted with my children. That said more to me about Brian than anything else he could have done on the playing field. We will miss him both as a person and as a player."

His knees and brain are mush.

Sweetest trade of my fantasy football season - Ray Rice for Westbrook, 3 days before his first of two concussions.

Running Backs come a dime a dozen in the NFL and that's part of the reason why I say they are overrated. First L.T. and now Westbrook... I don't know why teams waste their time picking up old RB's! I would always go with a young RB on my roster. You can get good RB's deep into the Draft and even walk on's...

LOL. Fuckin idiot, whoever did that trade. Whyyyyyyyy?? Lol.

Also, ya rb's are a dime a dozen. U can get a good RB in later rounds In the draft. Ofcourse ull find the APs, and LTs but there's so many other great RBs that were drafted in later rounds or weren't even drafted at all.

LMAO I convinced him that Rice would be sharing time with McClain and McGahee and I told him that Westbrook was the #2 RB in a PPR league. Then we made the trade and Rice did nothing but catch passes all season while Westbrook rode the bench.
