McNabb to the Rams on the table
ORLANDO -- Donovan McNabb could be in a Rams uniform by the end of the day, possibly by the end of the week.

The Eagles have an offer on the table that would give them St. Louis' second-round draft pick (33d overall) and free safety Oshiomogho Atogwe in exchange for McNabb. That deal, however, is "not yet completed," according to a league source.

McNabb would be willing to go to the Rams if he was given a contract extension, according to a source close to the situation. He would not be willing to play for Buffalo or Oakland, two moribund franchises that might be willing to take McNabb without an extension.

McNabb has publicly stated that he wants to remain with the Eagles and retire with the only organization he has played for. McNabb released a blog post earlier today after coach Andy Reid said for the first time publicly that the Eagles were entertaining offers for McNabb and their three quarterbacks.

"I was asked to respond to statements made at the NFL owners meetings that the Eagles would entertain offers to trade any of their three QBs," McNabb wrote. "Here is my response: My position hasn't changed. I've said all along that I would like to win a Super Bowl and finish my career in Philadelphia.

"I understand the situation well and just hope whichever direction the Eagles decide to go in, they do it quickly. I think that would be best for me, Kevin [Kolb], Michael [Vick], the Eagles, and any other teams involved. No matter what happens, I've already begun preparing to have an outstanding season in 2010."

A trade could happen quickly.

The Eagles had no comment. Owner Jeffrey Lurie, coach Andy Reid and general manager Howie Roseman returned back to Philadelphia today after this week's NFL owners' meetings. Team president Joe Banner is still here.

McNabb, meanwhile, hasn't spoken to Reid in months, according to one source. While Reid said that the Eagles were listening to offers for all three of their quarterbacks, McNabb is the most likely to be dealt and be dealt soon. He has spent most of the off-season at his home in Arizona.

Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur was previously McNabb's quarterbacks coach with the Eagles. Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo was a defensive coach under Reid.

Ok, later asshole.


So Jim, Kolb or Vick?

This is just wishful thinking on the Eagles part

KC Scott wrote:None of the other teams on that list really make sense either - as neither the Bills or Raiders appears near playoff contention, much less Super Bowl bound.

The Smartest fit may have Been AZ - since they are a playoff team. But after naming Leinert starter and signing anderson, I don't think they're in the market

Bills fans might like that. There was a rumor that the Bills were going trade a safety and a pick to the 'skins for Campbell.
I looked in at a Bills message board and there looked like a good amount of support for that deal. Edwards and Fitzgerald do not appear to be well liked if Campbell looks good to them.

McNabb to the 49ers would all of a sudden add them as contenders. If Alex Smith is their QB they're still pretenders who can't win tough games on the road. The question is does the 49er front office understand this or even care?

Redskins offered defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth in one of their first attempts to land McNabb, but that the Eagles were not interested.

DallasFanatic wrote:Looks like danny Boy reied to purchase another expensive bandaid a la Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith. I don't think McNabb will be much of a facor with the redskins considering they are absolutely void of any decent talent on both sides of the ball. Having a potential rookie protecting his blind side and a crap running game adds up to one long season for Foreskin fan.

Would I have liked to see him traded outside our division? Heck yes, but I also hope to enjoy pummeling his facemask into the turf twice a year with that abortion of a franchise. Might a signing like this bring back GDub?

Regardless of what Reid, fat tard, thinks he has in Kolb this is a decision that is likely to come back and fuck him up his fat ass...twice.

Sorta like....John Elway. McNubb is only 33. He has a number of good years left and now the Skins have added a real coach who knows how to get the most out of a veteran QB.

Kolb may very well be the real deal, but you don't trade a player of McNubb's caliber within the division and expect to get over.
