A good turn of events for NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett after he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles to make room for Michael Vick. According to the league’s official site, Baskett has agreed terms on a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts as a cover for the injured Anthony Gonzales.
The Colts have been in the market for a receiver since losing Anthony Gonzalez to a knee injury in Sunday’s 14-12 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Colts coach Jim Caldwell said on Thursday that Gonzalez is expected to miss up to eight weeks. But the good thing is, his injury doesn’t require any surgery.
Baskett had been with the Eagles since 2006, had 72 catches for 1,052 yards and six touchdowns in 48 games, and was one of seven receivers the Eagles carried on their 53-man roster through Week 1. After the Eagles selected Jeremy Maclin in the first round of April’s draft and added Brandon Gibson in the sixth round, he became expendable. Baskett with the Eagles.
Baskett married The Girls Next Door star and Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson on June 27, 2009 and they are expecting a their first child due on Christmas Day.
