Hank Baskett has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia, according to ESPN.com.

Our View: Baskett will reunite with the Eagles after spending most of last season with the Eagles. Unfortunately, his only memorable play with the Colts came when he botched a recovery of an onside kick at the opening of the second half in the Super Bowl. At his point, he's probably better known for being a reality star due to his marriage with former Playboy playmate Kendra Wilkinson than he is for his football career, needless to say he won't be fantasy relevant any time soon, if ever.

Hank Baskett is on the radar of a few teams, according to the National Football Post. Those teams are the Bears, Rams and Eagles.

Our View: Baskett has the skills to make an impact, but could not push for playing time last season with the Colts, who are very well-stocked at receiver. The Bears and Rams would both give him a chance to see the field, more so than a potential return to the Eagles.

On the eve of Super Bowl XLIV Media Day, let's take a quick look at all of the storylines that are likely to surface down in Miami; all 44 of them, to be exact.

1. If the Jets couldn't stop Peyton Manning, how can the Saints?: The Jets had the best pass defense in the NFL in 2009. It wasn't even close. They allowed about 500 less passing yards than the second-best defense, and only coughed up eight touchdown passes (no one else allowed less than 14). But in the AFC championship, Manning torched the Jets for 377 yards and three touchdowns. New Orleans relied on five takeaways to beat the visiting Vikings in the NFC title game. No one in the NFL lost fewer fumbles than the Colts during the regular season, so the Saints need to limit the yardage they cough up this time around.

2. Will the game MVP actually earn the award?: Both Manning brothers have a Super Bowl MVP and neither deserved it. Peyton won on the strength of his running game and Eli won on the strength of the Giants' defense suffocating a high-octane New England offense. This was nothing new, though. There are tons of Super Bowl MVPs who were definitely not the most valuable player in the game. What about Desmond Howard over Reggie White and Brett Favre? Expect Manning or Drew Brees to take the award home, depending upon whichever team wins. But it'll be more interesting to see whether or not the winning QB actually deserves his hardware.
