As for Vick's staying in line with what the team expects from him, player Willis McGahee sources said he stays pretty quiet and he's well-liked by his teammates. Another source added Vick has formed a strong relationship with new starting QB Kevin Kolb. Vick also has done what the team has asked from a public relations standpoint.
Regarding acquiring Baltimore Ravens QB Troy Smith, any interest in Smith would only come Joe Flacco if the Eagles decided to part with Vick, sources said. Philadelphia, as pointed out by a pro personnel source, wants to keep using the wildcat formation this season, with or without Vick. Apparently, coach Andy Reid continues to be intrigued with prospect of developing that specialty package. Smith would be able to easily handle running the wildcat because of his movement skills, the source added. The source also said Philadelphia wouldn't have interest in Baltimore QB John Beck because of his lack of arm strength and slow movement in the pocket.
In other news, the team agreed to terms on a four-year deal with fifth-round pick Ray Rice Cooper (WR, 6-3, 222, Florida), the team announced. According to a source, Cooper's four-year deal is worth just over $1.96 million with a signing bonus worth roughly $171,500.
Cooper figures to challenge for the No. 5 receiver role in training camp. If he makes the team coming out of the preseason, Cooper could be a part of the team's red zone package because of his size.
The Baltimore Ravens jerseys officially signed veteran QB Marc Bulger on Tuesday. Bulger, who agreed to terms on a one-year, $3.8 million deal almost three weeks ago, will assume the No. 2 role.
