Hooked ‘Em: Vince Young To Sign With Eagles

The former Tennessee Titans and Texas QB will back up Michael Vick

Say goodbye to Kolb, hello to Young.

According to early morning reports from the NFL Network and CSNPhilly, the Eagles are close to signing two-time Pro Bowl quarterback and former Tennessee Titans star Vince Young to a one-year deal. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Just a day after the Eagles completed the blockbuster trade that sent former backup quarterback Kevin Kolb to Arizona in exchange for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second round pick, it seems "a virtual certainty" that the Eagles will sign Young to backup Michael Vick, according to CBSSports.com.

Young, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, is 30-18 in five NFL seasons, including a playoff loss. His 2010 season was cut short after suffering a season-ending thumb injury on his throwing hand in November.

The Eagles have not yet confirmed or commented on the report.
