Vick, Michael (QB)
Dozens of protesters lined up outside a banquet hall where Michael Vick said he was ``very humbled'' to be honored as one of 32 NFL players to receive the Ed Block Courage Award. The award is presented to players who exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Each NFL team selects a recipient, and most of the winners were on hand for the gala event Tuesday night.
Vick was picked as the Philadelphia Eagles' representative by a unanimous vote of his teammates. Once a star quarterback with the Atlanta Falcons, Vick was convicted in 2007 for his role in a dogfighting ring and served 18 months in federal prison. This was the first award Vick has received since being reinstated by the NFL in September 2009.

Babin, Jason (DE)
Babin is wrapping up a visit with the Tennessee Titans, who are looking to add depth on the defensive line. The Titans are looking for help after losing defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch to the Detroit Lions in the early hours of free agency on Friday.
Babin had 2 1/2 sacks for the Philadelphia Eagles last season. He was a first-round draft pick out of Western Michigan by the Houston Texans in 2004 and also has played for the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs.

McNabb, Donovan (QB)
McNabb will be throwing passes to Terrell Owens again. McNabb and Owens are teaming up on a basketball court instead of a football field in the new season of Spike TV's ``Pros vs. Joes.'' The episode features NFL players that played college basketball against former NBA stars.
T.O. helped McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles reach the Super Bowl in 2004, but a feud ended their relationship and Owens was cut midway through the '05 season.

Vick, Michael (QB)
Vick is getting one more big check from the Philadelphia Eagles. The one after that still could be from a new team. A person with knowledge of the contract said the Eagles will pay Vick a $1.5 million roster bonus due Tuesday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move hasn't been announced. Paying Vick the bonus doesn't preclude Philadelphia from trading the former Pro Bowl quarterback. Vick is under contract for $5.2 million this year.The Eagles are buying themselves more time - and possibly a draft pick - by giving Vick the bonus. The alternative was to release him and get nothing in return. It's uncertain what Vick is worth on the trade market.

Avant, Jason (WR)
The Philadelphia Eagles and wide receiver Jason Avant have agreed on a five-year contract. Avant was a restricted free agent. He had a career-best 41 receptions for 587 yards and three touchdowns last season as Philadelphia's slot receiver. ``Jason Avant has developed into one of our most dependable and productive players on offense,'' coach Andy Reid said. ``He's physical, he's tough and he has the respect of all of his teammates."
Selected in the fourth round in 2006, Avant has 103 catches and eight TDs in four seasons. He has a knack for making clutch catches. Avant has 37 receptions on third down, including 32 that have resulted in first downs. "Jason plays the game of football the right way, he competes on a daily basis, whether it's in the game or in practice,'' Reid said.
