Reid signs extension

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie termed Andy Reid, “in every way, the epitome of what you’re looking for,” during a news conference to announce that Reid has agreed to a 3-year extension that will keep him with the Eagles through 2013.

Terms were not disclosed, but a league source said Reid, also the vice president of football operations, will make between $5 million and $6 million per year, making him among the three highest paid coaches in the league.

“I’m just a piece of the puzzle,” Reid said. “By my waist size, I’m a big piece, but in reality, I’m just a piece of the puzzle.”

Lurie said preseason discussions pointed toward Reid wanting an extension. “It was inevitable. There was no point waiting,” Lurie said.

He called the extension “a great message to everyone in the organization, particularly the players.”

“Our No. 1 priority by far is to win a Super Bowl,” Lurie said. “One of the reasons for the contract is the obsession and prioritization of that.”

While some may not like this idea I actually love it.  I think its great to allow Reid to continue here.  As long as hes not making the play calling hes a fantastic coach.  And I really dont like saying this but D-Mac you have been my boy for a lot of years man, but unless you prove you can get it done in a non-choke situation I think its time to turn the page and go with youth.  Kolb looks good and showed that he can come out and minus 3 mistakes he can roll with the best of them.  From a fantasy football players insight Kolb came in those two games and did better then Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, Im not comparing him to them but I’m just saying…..

And I know another thing too, Brent Celek had 8 receptions one game and 10 receptions another with a touchdown.  Both of those games going over 100 yards.  Who knows… if its not broke dont fix it right?
