he Philadephia Eagles are reportedly holding a press conference tomorrow morning with Saints running back Mike Bell, a restricted free agent who is extending his visit with the Birds.

Citing an unnamed team sources, The Philadelphia Daily News and other outlets in the City of Brotherly Love are now reporting Bell is likely to sign an offer sheet from the Eagles. Bell, making his second off-season visit after a trip to Seattle, is also scheduled to visit with the Cleveland Browns.

The Saints would have the chance to match any offer made by the Eagles, who are seeking to shore up their running back roster after releasing Brian Westbrook. Should the Saints decline – and the fact they tendered Bell at the salary and compensation minimum indicates they would – the Eagles would owe no compensation because Bell was undrafted coming out of college.
