Eagles coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that the team is entertaining offers for all three of its quarterbacks, including starter Donovan McNabb.Reid discussed the situation during a breakfast meeting with reporters at the NFL owners' meetings in Orlando, Fla., The Inquirer reported. Reid reiterated that McNabb was his starter, Kevin Kolb the backup and Michael Vick the No. 3 QB but indicated any of them could be dealt. The Eagles have already received feelers. "We'll go back and look through those ... away from this situation here," Reid said. "There's nothing right now that I'd jump up and down about. But right now there's interest." Reid said the Eagles have a price tag in mind for each of the quarterbacks. "I'm keeping my ears open," Reid told the paper. McNabb threw for 3,553 yards with 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 14 games last year, his 11th in the NFL. He has played all 16 games in just two of the last eight seasons. Reid also said he'll entertain offers for disgruntled cornerback Sheldon Brown, who had a career-high five interceptions in 2009. |

The problem here is that places that made sense (Arizona, Denver, Seattle) have made off-season QB moves already. San Fran makes sense too. But if you know the Eagles are "over a barrel" why offer much ? |

It would be a bad move if They traded Sheldon Brown. Just move the Guy to Safety and pay the man. Reid has to come out with a statement now, since it's getting closer to the draft. Most fans now that He's full of Shit. |

I always look forward to Reid's "doubletalk". He talks then you try to figure out what he is trying not to say. |

Why does everybody think that this Guy is a bad QB? He's been to 5 NFC Championships, 1 Super Bowl. How many other QB's that are in the league now can say that? Not to many. |

Well he is great for the "rebuilding team" but not a guy that a team that is a "player away to push us over the top" will want. So your "rebuilding" team isn't giving you anything for him because he only has one year left on his contract. You basically have to extend him to trade him or have his "new team" try to do so and then announce the trade. |

Rumor shot down by profootballtalk.com Earlier in the day, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the Eagles "have an offer on the table" from the Rams for quarterback Donovan McNabb, and that a trade could happen quickly. We heard from a Rams source that there is "zero truth" to the report. As Rosenthal pointed out, someone was full of something that often gets confused with shinola. For a change, we win. Per Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Rams G.M. Billy Devaney says that report of a trade is "[a]bsolutely false" and "utterly ridiculous." Howard Eskin of WIP echoes that report, citing an unnamed high-ranking Rams official who said that the Rams have never even spoken to the Eagles about McNabb. So, please, citizens of Philadelphia. Return to your homes and go about your business. There is nothing to see here. |

I just read another rumour that the Eagles and Oakland are trying to work out a deal. It looked something like McNabb, Samuel and pick #24 for Asomugha and #8. Sounds like BS to me though. If it was true, get that shit done. Take Berry with the 8th.  |

Davis is stupid enough to pull the trigger on this one. The Eagles need to rebuild the Defense and get some O-Line help. If They got the 8th pick, I think that They would draft a Lineman. |

The report out of Eagles camp is that the pick MUST be in the top 42. Why 42? Seems like an odd number. |

Any idea WHY there's talk of Philly dealing McNabb? Is it because they think Kolb is ready to go? I *loved* Kolb coming out of UH. I thought he merited a top-ten overall selection, so obviously I thought he was a bargain in the second round. I have no idea how he's developed so far in Philly, though. |

The WHY is if you feel like you have seen all that he can and feel you can go no further with him. The fanbase is ready to give him away for pennies on the dollar (change for the sake of change) I don't necessarily subscribe to that theory but do feel there is too much drama as it pertains to McNabb and the Eagles and it might be best for both sides to move forward. |

I love McNabb, but Beej is right, the natives have been getting restless for the past 3 years, and it's getting worse. Media that use to defend Him are even saying that it would be best if He moved on. Kolb is 25, and the Offense as a whole, is really Young. Take a hit this year, and maybe next, and stock up on some higher picks and draft some O-Lineman and Defensive help and watch this team soar. ( pun intented) |

Of course, those days are long gone. Vick's starting seasons: 2002: 9-6-1, lost in divisional playoff round 2004: 11-5, lost in NFC Championship Game 2005: 8-8, no playoffs 2006: 7-9, no playoffs Getting to the playoffs twice with the Falcons in three years is a nice feat, and one that Matt Ryan should accomplish soon, if not in the 2010 season. "Winning like crazy" is a bit of a stretch though, and the trajectory of the team is clearly downward over this stretch. I don't like Vick, and don't make any bones about that. He was, for a while, a uniquely talented player for his position, but was never an elite quarterback. He made many highlight plays, but wasn't an elite passer and didn't look to be on track to become one. |

Of course, those days are long gone. He was out with injury for some of those losses in the early seasons. They were winning when he was in and he took a crap team to the NFC championship game. Try looking up the difference in the Falcons performance when he was in and when he was out. It was major. The 8-8 season is when Mora inexplicably tried to change the offense that was working.

He missed one game in the 2002 and 2004 seasons. He missed a ton of games in the 2003 season, and I didn't include that one because it wouldn't be fair to pin any of a dreadful 5-11 season on him. Were the Falcons better with Vick than without him from 2002-2004? Without a doubt. They were very mediocre with him in 2005 and 2006. |

He was 22-11-1 with a trip to the NFC Championship and a mediocre team. And I already said he went down after those first few years, but 22-11-1 with that Falcon team they had at that time is very good. |

Andy is more the "problem" than McNabb however he is under contract for three more years. We (Philly fans) really don't know "which" is the "problem" just we know the Reid/McNabb combo isn't going to get it done. I am opposed to trading McNabb for a bag of donuts but recognize that there is too much drama in the current situation for the outcome to be good. McNabb is on TMZ of all places now by the way |

I hate to tell you this Bud, but 11-5 is a lot more fun than 6-10. Giving up McNabb for a 2nd isn't going to help your d-line immediately, if at all. In this case sports mirrors real life, where the worst decisions are born out of frustration. |

The Fans in Philly demand a Super Bowl, not just to make the playoffs and most people around here think that it isn't going to happen with McNabb ( who I think gets a very bad rap) as QB. Kolb isn't a world beater, by no means, but the Offense is very young and They want the team to grow up together. This year's draft is suppose to be the deepest in 15-20 years, and the Eagles already have 4 picks in the First 3 Rounds. If They can get a 2nd or even a 1st for McNabb, They can do some damage. They also hired former Ravens draft Guru Phil Savage to run the draft for Them. The Eagles are going to be very busy at this year's draft. |

They were 11-5 last year, bud  I understand that the goal is the Super Bowl, but I can't help but think they have a better shot in 2010 with McNabb over Kolb. And for the record I liked Kolb pretty much more than anyone the last time I saw him. I was saying before the 2007 Draft that Miami should take him with the #9 pick overall.  |

They have plenty of offensive weapons. They won't even need Kolb to be "great" in all honesty. He (McNabb) has a 6 million dollar roster bonus coming May 5th. It will be interested to see if they swallow that. |

The past decade has a been a golden age for Philly. It's just a bit unfortunate that the Pats rose at the same time and were better in the SB, but Philly's probably had the most consistently good team in the NFC since 2000. I don't see why the desire to dismantle that. |

I don't see why the desire to dismantle that. I'll try to contain this rant. I watched probably the best Cubs teams of my lifetime (well, at least since I started caring about sports in 1988 or so at age 6) win exactly zero games in the playoffs and get swept twice. Still, they won back-to-back Central titles. Then they "tweaked" the club, added Milton Bradley, got rid of DeRosa, et al., and didn't make the playoffs last year. I'd be happy with making the playoffs and losing right away than tweaking the team and getting worse. Of course, that all depends on whether or not you think the changes are for the better. In the case of the Cubs after the 08 season, I didn't think they were and I was proved right. I think the same thing applies for the Eagles - they shouldn't get rid of either McNabb or Reid, both of who have been integral to the team's success the past decade.

The 1984 Cubs team had the best chance to win the World Series. The 1989 team was one of the luckiest teams I've ever seen. The teams that made the playoffs from this decade weren't nearly as good as that 1984 team. |

Westbrook is garbage, and has been for some time. Which is why, so many teams have passed on him, and he's still a FA(I believe). Plus, I cant name one of their WR's, can you? No running game. no wr's,no defense....yep, it's McNabbs fault. |

DeSean Jackson the young wide receiver is really good. Celek is their tight end. He's decent. Not sold on the replacement for Westbrook. LeSean McCoy from Pitt. But if Fat Andy truly believes in Kolb, then trade McNabb. I don't believe in Kolb but obviously Fat Andy does. |

That's the other part of the equation also. Name an Eagle's quarterback who has not been successful under Reid. Andy adjusts his gameplan when he hasn't had McNabb around. Guys like Jeff Garcia and AJ Feeley have had success in the "system" even though it clearly isn't the same scheme they run with McNabb taking snaps. So why do you need McNabb so much when a "B" quarterback will get the same results? I don't agree with all this either but I get the thought process. |

If they thought that much of him, they wouldve kept him around longer. If a "B" qb can get it done more than McNabb, they wouldve launched Donovan a few years back? just sayin.

I don't think they ever considered moving McNabb before now. Even a few years back he had the "injury prone" tag on him which and they would have got less than desired for him. I had a dream last night that they traded him (in the division) to the Redskins. There's no way - right? Of course they did something with Dallas on draft day a couple years back and acted like they were just so much smarter than the Cowboys. |

Yeah, I have to agree here and wonder if you even watch any other team besides those shitty Lions of yours that you think someone like Westbrook is garbage? You couldn't be any more wrong. Was he elite? No. Was he a lot better than average? Hell yes he was. But because they depended on the running game so much because of his ability to deliver, he took a shit load of punishment and has had numerous concussions. Seriously dude, educate yourself at least a little bit before spouting off the ridiculous shit you're posting... |

You Philly fans are going to wish for the glory days of Reid and McNabb when this is all said and done. Trust me. Most fans wish they had teams that are perennial playoff contenders. I used to get frustrated with Flip Saunders. He was a shitty coach, but he could the Pistons in position to make a run every year. He was a horrible play off coach, but his teams were there with a chance. I wanted him gone more than anyone. Guess what? When they kicked his ass out the door there wasn't anyone better to replace him. Now the Pistons are in the shitter and are only going to get worse. I'd rather be a team with a chance than a team looking at 3-5 years worth of rebuilding. As a Lions and Bucs fan you can bet your sweet ass I would have loved to have had McNabb. His worst seasons are better than any QB the Lions have had in my lifetime. Kolb hasn't shown much in his young career and to just assume he's a can't miss prospect is like counting your chickens before they've hatched. Stinger can help me out on this list, but here are some projected future stars at the QB position who couldn't miss. Chuck Long Rodney Peete Andre Ware Scott Mitchell Joey Harrington Here are a couple that had bright futures after limited exposure as Lions QB's only to turn out as career back ups. Charlie Batch Mike McMahon I'm not sure why you guys are so pissed about being successful for so long. I know the S Bowl is the goal, and it feels like that window is closing, but it could be a lot worse. Metaphorically speaking, Reid and McNabb are like a super hot girl friend who goes anal and swallows cum. You guys are pissed that she refuses to do ATM, so you are going to kick her to the curb making the foolish assumption that the next girl you find will do ATM. The sad facts are most girls won't go anal or swallow. Just something to think about. |

As far as the rest of the post goes, I only disagree with one part: when the Lions drafted both Harrington and Ware, I thought (and many agreed) that those players would bust. Rodney Peete was a 5th rounder IIRC so it's not like he arrived with huge expectations. |

stingmark wrote: beejmi wrote:That's the other part of the equation also. Name an Eagle's quarterback who has not been successful under Reid. Andy adjusts his gameplan when he hasn't had McNabb around. Guys like Jeff Garcia and AJ Feeley have had success in the "system" even though it clearly isn't the same scheme they run with McNabb taking snaps. So why do you need McNabb so much when a "B" quarterback will get the same results? Garcia was very good with the Niners. He stunk in Cleveland and Detriot. He was good for the Eagles and decent for the Bucs. He never played for the Raiders. (He left the team during training camp). I am not too familiar with relationship between Andy Reid and the Eagles so I don't know whats going on over there. Garcia seems to be fine when he is surrounded with talent. I am sure McNabb is the same way. The Eagles were just outplayed, out coached, out prepared over the past decade in the playoffs. I would have to point the finger at Reid. Getting rid of McNabb seems to be the easiest way to fix the problem due to Salary and age. Giving him away for a second rounder is going to bite the Eagles in the ass. The next one or two seasons are going to be rough on them. I am not sold on Kolb or Vick(yet). With no running the Eagles are gonna have to rely on their QB's arm and I don't see it. (They should be trying to move up in the draft and pick CJ Spiller). Eagles fans are hoping for the second coming of Aaron Rodgers but by that time Kolb's confidence may be shot. |

Eagles trade CB Sheldon Brown & LB Chris Gocong to Cleveland for LB Alex Hall , 4th & 5th Round pick. Bad trade, should've never traded Brown. and if They did, They should've got at least a 2nd for Him. They are going young, have ALOT of picks ( 10), Four in the top 87 picks.

That was sort of my point. Philly fans are willing to give up the two constants in that successful run, when the rest of the league is struggling to find one. Refer back to my Flip Saunders reference. Chauncey Billups was the same as McNabb in a way. Great player, but he kept coming up short, and we wanted a title, so they both were replaced (Chauncey and Flip). Check the Pistons standings the last two years, and see how it ended up. |

Call me crazy, but if your #1 weapon is (garbage) Az Hakim as WR(an at best 5th wr on any other team, not named Detroit), you're in SERIOUS trouble. The Rams didnt think he was vg either, which is why he couldnt crack their top 3 WR's every week. Matt Moron thought enough of him, to sign him to some ridiculous contract, we couldnt gte out of, so he stayed here and stunk up the palce, as only garbage can. |

He got ALOT of these Yards in " Prevent Defense" mode. I know this because I have watched every single Eagles game since McNabb has became an Eagle. In 2 of the NFC Championship games at home against Tampa & Carolina, He was downright horrible. The Arizona game He played great, the Atlanta game They were ahead the whole game, so He didn't pass alot, and The Rams game, They had a very conserative Offensive game plan, and He still was under 50% completion rating. In the Super Bowl, He played decent and had " big" numbers, but still had 3INT's with those 3TD's His numbers might look good, unless You watch every play of every game ( like most Eagles fans do). When the pressure is on, He seems to shrink and disappear when You need Him the most. Eagle fans are tired of it ( even Fans like myself who has been an McNabb backer since day 1) and think it's time to move on. |

If I were trading a player I'd take the best deal, regardless of who it was coming from. There are so many mixed emotions here. He's a winner so why move him in favor of the unknown? But it's time for a change also (McNabb has had 11 years and at this point will he ever win it all?) - and we have this supposed stud Kolb riding the bench ala Aaron Rodgers or is he? It comes down to what you get for him if you move him. What if you can't get "value" for him. If you have NcNabb/Kolb/Vick all in their last year of their contract you have tied your own hands in terms of what you will get as everybody knows you are moving at least one guy. I do believe that McNabb will hold a Super Bowl trophy one day - but I'd be surprised if it was he and Andy Reid holding it up together. |

The way ESPN was reporting it, the Eagles did not get top dollar for him partially because they were accomodating McNabb, who asked to be traded to Wash. The story was reported that the 'Skins did not think they had much of a chance to land McNabb (they could not offer more than a #2 pick), but then their chances improved when he asked to go there. In the process, the Eagles were not able to ask as much as they could have from the Raiders. |

Ok so Donovan says "I would like to go here, here and here" - the correct counter to that is "Um ok not in the division so cross off Washington". I was never sold a top 42 pick was "enough" anyway. Too much ongoing drama would have got better value by playing the waiting game. |

I don't think Kolb will hold them back from winning (he has a ton of "weapons") but the overall youth of the team will probably keep them from going too far. Good teams have a mix of youth and veterans and Philly is all youth/draft picks. |

The Redskins o-line is atrocious. McNabb wasn't the best at staying healthy as it was. I think he'll struggle in Washington. It's kind of funny how the Pats got #34 for Cassel and the Eagles got #37 plus what should be a third for McNabb. I'd take the McNabb deal out of the two, it's just funny how close the compensation is. |

Rumor has it that Washington and Seattle are working on a trade that would send both Seattle's picks to Washingtom for the Redskins' #4 overall and another pick. This is a exceptional draft for offensive linemen, somaybe Washington will go in that direction. Incidentally, FreebirdsForever said this was the best draft in 15 - 20 years. This is the first time I've heard that, and I really don't see this being an exceptional draft either way. It's strong on OLs, but weak in other areas. |

Hence the "and another pick" qualifier. It depends on how it all shakes out, but if the Rams go with Sam Bradford #1 (likely) there's speculation that Seattle and Buffalo are going to try to trade up to grab Jimmy Clausen. Supposedly the Lions are locked in on Okung and the Bucs are madly in love with a man named Suh, which would give Washington a lot of leverage at the #4 spot. |

The Rams tried doing that when they drafted Chris Long over Matt Ryan. To me if you need a QB and there's a legitimate top prospect available, you take the QB and start building around him. I'm shaky on Sam Bradford as well due to the injury, but before that he was an exceptional talent. The Rams' doctors have checked out Bradford's shoulder and if they take him #1, it's safe to say that they were OK with it. I'd still take Jimmy Clausen #1 overall. |

Just my mock draft. Bradford will be the first pick. . Suh would be the first pick but Rams cut Bulger today . A line of Suh/Carriker/Long would be tough on offensive lines. Lions and Bucs draft best players available in draft Lions -Suh Buc- McCoy Redskins need to protect McNabb so they get Okung KC and seattle also need o-line help they draft KC-Anthony Davis sea-Trent Williams Browns ,I don't know what Holmgren is thinking but best player left is safety Eric Berry Raiders- Heywood-Bey was a bust last year and Al davis is an idiot. He drafts WR Dez Bryant Bills.- I can see OL Bruce Campbell but I say spot goes to Clausen Jacksonville-horrible on pass defensive so Haden or Mayes end up here |

 Probably me but I wasn't in love with moving him "for the sake of moving him". Trading him to a division opponent and sitting around wondering if you got enough for him is a bad combo. I would have just brought him back (drama and all / it's a "rebuilding" year anyway) rather than strengthen an opponent |

That's one of the more frustrating things about message boards. I shouldn't care, but it makes a person want to explode before typing "every question you asked was covered earlier in the thread". |

Some people don't read anything in a thread before responding, just the last post or the first post. Once you accept that, it's easier to condone repeated points being made by people that have been answered and asked already. Frustrating to be sure but it's a message board fact that won't go away any time soon. |

Dude...w/all due respect...STOP!!! You know damn well...people here (and elsewhere) were saying that "he's taken them as far as they can go...blah blah blah". To me, thats blaming him for more of it, than anyone else. Everyone in Philly"demands a winner ever year", is that not what was said? Donovan, apparently, is not a winner in many peoples minds, or else he'd still be there, and you all wouldnt be complaining about him? Many Philly fans, Im sure blame him for not winning a SB, and put most of the blame on him for the teams woes? you can deny that all you want. I've said from the beginning, that I think he's a very very good QB, and that Philly fans will be begging for him to be back, or someone in a similar mold as him, very soon. When Kolb doesn't pan out(and Im not sure he will)...like I said...no Philly fans should come here and blame him anymore then...or bitch...you got your wish. Time to man up and deal with it now..... Lets see how good they are w/o McNabb. Last edited on Wed Apr 7th, 2010 06:26 am by stingmark |

Lets see how good they are w/o McNabb. Can't accuse someone of "putting all the blame on McNabb" and then turn around and say "it was all McNabb getting them that far" if they falter (what if they happen to be better?) Philly clearly turning over the roster (rebuilding year) in the offseason though. They need to if the goal is "to win it all" vs "let's be competitive every year". I don't like the combo of trading to a division opponent and not getting all that they should have though in this case. |

Most non-Racist Eagles Fans have said many times over that They would LOVE to keep McNabb and get rid of Fat Andy. Since Fat Andy isn't going anywhere, McNabb was the one who had to go. You couldn't keep both of Them anymore. |

I'm probably not alone, but I'm really rooting for this to blow up in Philly's face. Of course, I don't think Washington is going to do much this season, but I'm hoping for Philly to stumble w/o McNabb. Kolb's probably the real deal, though, it's just a matter of him starting all 16. |

So -- in the end the Birds dealt McNabb fior a third rounder. And dealt Kolb for DRC. Both disappointing. Nobody "won" the trades. |
