Favre invited to speak to Eagles

Bronco lobbying for QB Cousins

Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre will speak to the Eagles at their team meeting on Saturday before Super Bowl LII, Philly coach Doug Pederson confirmed Wednesday.

Pederson was Favre’s backup in Green Bay for eight seasons and invited him to speak to the team when he found out that he’d be in Minneapolis for another engagement.

The Eagles play the Patriots on Sunday for the NFL championship.

“He’s probably going to tell us not to make this bigger than it should be,” Pederson said.

Pederson had ex-NBA great Kobe Bryant speak to the team when the Eagles played in LA in the regular season.

BRONCOS: Now that Kansas City has agreed to trade Alex Smith to Washington, Denver star linebacker Von Miller is suggesting the Broncos reel in QB Kirk Cousins.

In an appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday, Miller said he’d love for Cousins to rescue the Broncos. Cousins is likely headed for free agency after spending his first six seasons with Washington.

“We need Kirk,” Miller said. “I would love to have Kirk . ... Kirk could take us over the edge.”

PATRIOTS: As expected, tight end Rob Gronkowski was still in the concussion protocol Wednesday. Meanwhile, QB Tom Brady practiced fully, wearing black tape on his injured right hand.

TV CONTRACT: Fox and the NFL have agreed to a five-year deal for Thursday night football games.
