Vick to remain with Eagles

Michael Vick is expected to remain with the Eagles for the 2010 campaign, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Our View: Vick would serve as the primary backup behind Kevin Kolb if Donovan McNabb is dealt, and he carries his weight as a dangerous weapon in the Wildcat formation. He is slated to earn $5.25MM in 2010.

Skelton visited Buffalo

Quarterback prospect John Skelton (Fordham) recently visited the Bills, according to Adam Caplan’s twitter page.

Our View: Skelton may come from a small school, but his stock has been on the rise, and could get drafted as early as the second or third-round. He fires the ball with good zip and can make all of the throws, but needs work on his mechanics and delivery.
