Eagles bring back Avant; Vick next

Football Betting Lines

03/08/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Eagles and wide receiver Jason Avant have agreed to terms on a five-year contract, and it appears as though the team will pick up the 2010 contract option on quarterback Michael Vick.

Vick is due a $1.5 million bonus on Tuesday and a Philadelphia Inquirer report Monday said the Eagles will keep the former Pro Bowl star on the roster for now.

Avant, a restricted free agent, is coming off his best season in four years since the Eagles selected him with a fourth-round pick in 2006. He caught 41 passes for 587 yards with three touchdowns in 16 games, nine of which he started.

The 26-year-old Michigan product has 103 receptions for 1,299 yards with eight touchdowns in his career.

Vick, meanwhile, appeared in 12 games last season for the Eagles, who took a chance on the former Atlanta Falcons star after he missed two seasons because of a prison sentence stemming from federal dogfighting charges.

In limited action, Vick completed 6-of-13 passes for 86 yards with a touchdown and ran for 95 yards with two scores. He also threw a 76-yard touchdown pass in Philadelphia's playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

There has been speculation that Vick, or one of Philadelphia's other two quarterbacks -- Donovan McNabb or Kevin Kolb -- could be traded this offseason.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
