Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard isn’t the only unhappy member of the team to recently change agents.  Running back Brian Westbrook, who has expressed a belief that he’s underpaid and who also has been caught in a mess relating to the accidental payment to him of $3 million in bonus money, is looking for new represenation as well.

Westbrook has fired Fletcher Smith, who represents quarterback Donovan McNabb.  According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Westbrook could be hiring Lamont Smith and Peter Schaffer.

Smith and Schaffer, coincidentally, represented Sheppard before he changed to Drew Rosenhaus.

Westbrook recently vented to the Inquirer about his contract.

“When I signed my contract with the Eagles 2½ years ago, they paid me for the level of play I was playing at the time,” Westbrook said. “I’m not at that level no more.  I’m at a higher level of play.  There’s no question about that.  The numbers don’t lie.  My numbers have steadily increased from that point until now.  Now, I’m at the point where I’m one of the elite backs in the NFL, and I should be compensated that way.”

Talks between the team and Smith have occurred, but there’s no evidence that the two sides have come remotely close to working out a deal.

Westbrook is signed through 2010.  He is due to earn a base salary of $3 million this year.

Under NFLPA rules, a player must wait five days to sign with a new agent after firing his current one.
