Former Eagle Brian Westbrook signs with the Niners

He has been without a job since the Eagles released him back in February but he finally has caught on with a new team: Brian Westbrook has signed with the 49ers. Given the recent retirement of backup running back Glen Coffee, signing with San Francisco makes a ton of sense for Westbrook, who will be a great compliment to Frank Gore as a third down back. Given Gore's injury history, Westbrook might even be the feature back for a few games this season. It will certainly be interesting to see how much he has left in the tank.

The Eagles will take on the Niners on October 10th in a Sunday Night game. While it won't have quite the same intrigue as the Redskins games, it'll definitely be a nice subplot to the season.
