Eagles rumors

Reid was asked if he felt any guilt over the 16-hour days he spends as a coach.

“I work hard here,” he said. “That’s part of the job. I think that’s important. At the same time, you take a lot of pride in work and a lot of pride in being a father. At the same time, when things happen (at home), it’s important you hit them head on and deal with them as a family.”

Texans

Dayne led the Texans with 612 rushing yards on 151 carries, his best season since 2001 with the New York Giants. He ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Houston’s 27-24 win over Indianapolis on Christmas Eve, one of the biggest wins in franchise history.

Dayne said he’s content to back up Green, a four-time Pro Bowler.

“It’s OK,” Dayne said. “I’ve been in the same position for most of my career. So I’ve been used to it. Whenever I get in I just want to do my best and help the team.”

Eagles sign Kevin Curtis

After losing a major target for quarterback Donovan McNabb, the Philadelphia Eagles added a burner to their receiving stable.

The Eagles on Thursday signed free agent wide receiver Kevin Curtis to a six-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The 5-11, 186-pound Curtis is a possible replacement for Donte Stallworth, who signed with the New England Patriots on Tuesday for a reported $30 million over six years. Stallworth caught 38 passes for 725 yards and five TDs for Philadelphia last season.

“Kevin’s a guy that we’ve liked all along,” Eagles general manager Tom Heckert said. “He’s got great speed and run-after-the-catch ability. Kevin’s a calm, smart guy that goes out and plays football. He definitely brings tremendous speed to our team.”

Curtis, 28, caught 40 passes for 479 yards and four touchdowns in 2006 for the St. Louis Rams. A 2003 third-round pick of the Rams, Curtis has appeared in 51 games, hauling in 136 passes for 1,714 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Shaun McDonald in Detroit

The Detroit Lions agreed to terms on a two-year contract with free agent Shaun McDonald on Monday, strengthening a receiving corps that includes Roy Williams and Mike Furrey.

In four seasons with St. Louis, McDonald had 106 receptions for 1,215 yards and four touchdowns.

McDonald will reunite with former Rams coach Mike Martz, Detroit’s offensive coordinator.

The 5-foot-10, 183-pound receiver had just 13 catches for 136 yards and a score last year after two productive seasons for a reserve. He had 46 receptions for 523 yards in 2004 and had three of his 37 catches were for TDs in 2003.

Seahawks release DE Wistrom

The Seattle Seahawks released fiery defensive end Grant Wistrom on Thursday after three years of struggling to match the big contract he signed in 2004.

Wistrom was scheduled to make $3.5 million for the 2007 season, part of a six-year, $33 million deal Wistrom signed during the 2004 offseason. His contract included a then-club-record $14 million in guaranteed money, but Wistrom never posted big numbers with the Seahawks.

Calls to his agent, Tom Condon, were not immediately returned.

Wistrom’s release comes a day after the team formally introduced new defensive end Patrick Kerney, who signed a six-year, $39.5 million contract. Coach Mike Holmgren said Kerney wasn’t acquired to be “standing next to me on the sidelines.”

Porter in Dolphins

Joey Porter wore a new Miami Dolphins visor, plus had an aqua-and-orange pin on his shirt.

Clearly, the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker is already trying to fit in with his new team.

Porter passed his physical and signed a five-year, $32 million contract Wednesday with the Dolphins, making the former Pittsburgh star the first marquee name to join the club during the free-agent period.

“I came here to Miami to help this team get to a championship,” said Porter, who helped the Steelers win the Super Bowl two seasons ago. “I felt this would be a good situation for me, so it didn’t take a lot of convincing.”

New Dolphins coach Cam Cameron and general manager Randy Mueller flew to California on Monday to see Porter at his home, and their sales pitch worked. Porter — whom the Steelers released last week in a salary-cap move — agreed late that night to a deal, one that guarantees him $20 million.
