The Facts:
Sources close to the situation said they believe Westbrook has fired agent Anthony Agnone and is in the process of hiring Fletcher Smith, who represents quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Correll Buckhalter. Once a player notifies the NFL Players Association that he wants to change agents, five days have to elapse before he can officially retain a new agent. Westbrook is believed to have filed notice earlier this week.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Eagles officials obviously aren't willing to comment until the change is official, but Smith has cultivated a strong relationship with the team's front office, and does not have a history of holding clients out of mini-camps. Unofficially, you could infer that the Eagles see the pending change as a sign that Westbrook is sincere about wanting to continue his career here past this season.
