Free-agent QB Jeff Garcia (Texans) said he would join the Philadelphia Eagles in a heartbeat if head coach Andy Reid gave him a call. In fact, Garcia added he would pay the Eagles to join them. "I'm picking up the phone and saying, 'Andy, how much do you want me to pay you so I can come in and get things fired up around there?'" Garcia said. "I'd pay to play, that's just me. I can be that person who can continue to motivate and inspire and help teach and educate. And if given the opportunity to step on the field, I'm going to give everything I have to find success, no matter how it happens."

"It's just a matter of that interest stepping over and becoming a reality and somebody offering me a contract and getting the chance to come in and be a part of their team and hopefully be in a role where I can help a young guy out, or be a supportive backup, and go from there."

Steve Corkran, of the Oakland Tribune, reports free-agent QB Jeff Garcia (Eagles) said during a radio interview Friday, Oct. 2, he asked to be released from the Oakland Raiders before the start of the season because of a lack of commitment from some players and him being powerless to effect change as a backup quarterback. "It was to a point where I felt like guys who walked through those doors were just there to collect a check and not really interested in putting everything they had within themselves onto the football field," Garcia said. Garcia added he didn't mind helping QB JaMarcus Russell develop into a better player. However, he felt as if too much was being asked of Russell and that, perhaps, Russell is not ready for a starring role. "It's an unfortunate situation when the entire work ethic and the entire goal of the team is really put upon one guy's shoulder who really isn't maybe ready for that situation or ready to take on that sort of responsibility," Garcia said.

They also are eager to receive some return on the millions they have invested in him. The team brought veteran QB Jeff Garcia on board to push Russell forward, not out of the way. If Russell struggles when the games count, things could be revisited.
