The Facts:
Westbrook, the Eagles' All-Pro running back, recently suggested that he might hold out from training camp in a display of discontent over his contract. Toward that end, Westbrook has fired his agent, Fletcher Smith, and is leaning toward hiring Lamont Smith of All Pro Sports & Entertainment Inc., according to published reports citing an anonymous source.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The report also quoted Westbrook as saying he probably wouldn't hold out from training camp, but hadn't made up his mind. Three years remain on the five-year, $25 million extension Westbrook signed in 2005, a deal that became a bargain for the Eagles when Westbrook emerged as one of the NFL's top running backs over the past two seasons. The Eagles open camp opens Monday, when rookies and selected veterans are scheduled to report by 5 p.m. The rest of the team is scheduled to report by Thursday evening. We'll certainly know more by then.
