07:03 AM ET 02.09 | ESPN's Adam Schefter says multiple teams have asked the Eagles about all three of their quarterbacks and three teams have called about Michael Vick. Sal Paolantonio added that three teams - Cleveland, Denver and Buffalo - have had multiple conversations with the Eagles about Donovan McNabb. I'm also told nothing is anywhere close to happening, that all of the queries have been preliminary.

05:22 AM ET 02.09 | ESPN personality Chris Berman's contract with the World Wide Leader is set to expire in three months. Two reports have surfaced linking him to potential openings elsewhere. According to Sports by Brooks, DirecTV "is in full pursuit of the longtime broadcaster." Brooks hears that DirecTV approached Berman about a pre- and post-game opportunity involving the Red Zone Channel, which is currently hosted by Andrew Siciliano. Berman would also work with Dan Patrick on a to-be-launched sports channel. Patrick is already involved with DirecTV, hosting a radio show that is simulcast on the network's Channel 101. Meanwhile, The Big Lead reported Monday evening that NFL Network "is putting the full court press" on Berman for an undisclosed opportunity. Berman is reportedly still very close with NFLN President Steve Bornstein after the two worked together at ESPN in the 1980s.

06:06 AM ET 02.09 | Ten minutes before walking into his morning-after Super Bowl news conference, Saints coach Sean Payton took a congratulatory call from one of his greatest mentors. It was Dolphins football czar Bill Parcells, who hired Payton to his Dallas staff and employed him from 2003-05. "He was just proud," a bleary-eyed Payton said, refusing to divulge any details of the conversation. "Proud and, uh, proud."

06:15 AM ET 02.09 | Bears cornerback Nathan Vasher could be in danger of being released. There's no such thing as having too many cornerbacks on the roster, but Vasher has had opportunities to regain his status over the last two seasons and he finished last season as an occasional contributor. Vasher is set to make $2.95 million in 2010 and also has a $500,000 workout bonus.

06:25 AM ET 02.09 | Eagles running back Brian Westbrook does not sound as if he is planning to retire, but he also seems a lot wiser about the dangers of concussions. Westbrook, who reportedly is mulling retirement because of left knee problems, said during a radio interview that he is "just trying to enjoy this offseason and trying to get ready for this next upcoming season."
