Here is the Yahoo! speculation:

You can follow Charles Robinson on Twitter at @YahooSportsNFL

ORLANDO, Fla. – Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid said Wednesday the team is entertaining offers for Donovan McNabb(notes), and multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports the Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders have inquired about the quarterback’s availability. Additionally, the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the St. Louis Rams have offered their second-round pick in next month’s NFL draft for McNabb.

However, one source with knowledge of McNabb’s interests said the 11-year veteran would favor a trade to a team with a contending roster, such as the Arizona Cardinals – a franchise that isn’t currently in the mix for his services. The source said McNabb likely wouldn’t sign a long-term deal in either Buffalo or Oakland, which could create a sticking point in any trade talks, as both franchises would expect a new deal in place before acquiring him. McNabb is due a $6.2 million roster bonus in May and is slated to become an unrestricted free agent in 2011.


Both Buffalo and Oakland are prohibited about talking about players on other teams. However, Buffalo coach Chan Gailey did say on Tuesday that he hadn’t ruled out adding an established, star-quality quarterback, similar to the move the Minnesota Vikings made last season with Brett Favre(notes).

“I don’t know, maybe,” Gailey said. “That hasn’t come up, but could we? Yeah. … We’re not looking at anything right now that is set in concrete. Because when you don’t have a proven starter, you’re open to every scenario.”

Meanwhile, the Raiders’ current starting plan at quarterback entails former starter JaMarcus Russell(notes) battling journeyman Bruce Gradkowski(notes) and Charlie Frye(notes) to retain his job.

Though Reid didn’t elaborate on which franchises had contacted the Eagles, he said that all three of the team’s quarterbacks – McNabb, Kevin Kolb(notes) and Michael Vick(notes) – had drawn trade interest

“We’ll go back and look through those [talks] and think through them a little bit once we’re away from this situation here,” Reid said. “[There is] nothing that, right now, that I can jump up and down about. But there has been some interest. … I’m listening to things out there. I’m not saying I’m doing anything. I’m just keeping my ears open, which we do on every player. This is no different.”

Pressed on whether he could guarantee McNabb wouldn’t be traded, Reid was evasive.

“I can tell you Donovan is our starter,” he said. “I can’t make it any clearer than that. We can get into semantics. Donovan is our starting quarterback.”
With teams firming up their scouting reports and the Eagles needing to seize on quarterback-needy teams before franchises have a chance to add one in the draft, several executives said they believe Philadelphia will act in the next several days if it chooses to deal McNabb. Another source with knowledge of McNabb’s situation said he believes a deal is coming “sooner than later” and said he believed the window extended “less than seven days.”

Whether that comes to fruition could depend on several factors. First is Philadelphia’s asking price, which is believed to be a package that would include at least a second-round draft pick. Second is McNabb’s willingness to extend his contract with the club that acquires him – a detail that gives McNabb some power in the process. And third is the Eagles’ ability to reach an agreement on a new deal with Kolb, whom is favored within the organization but has a deal expiring after 2010.

Despite those considerable hurdles, other factors appear to be pressing a deal into motion now. McNabb’s age (33) has put him in Philadelphia’s crosshairs, along with the organization’s intent on developing Kolb as its future starter. Combined with the contracts of both players expiring beyond 2010, and the team’s exercising the option of Michael Vick (who also is slated to earn $5.25 million in 2010), all signs point to the Eagles making a move now. And with the handful of quarterback-needy teams still seeking options, there may never be a better environment for Philadelphia to make a move with McNabb.

As one league general manager put it, “I can’t see any way they go to the draft with all three of their current [quarterbacks]. It doesn’t make much sense, just from the development end. What they’re doing with [Vick] sets them up to move out either Donovan or Kevin Kolb. And if they believe Kolb is their guy – and I think they really do believe in him – then there is your answer.”

That's the $10M question.

Pete: Sorry, Charlie, Matt's THE GUY.

Matt needs to know this...otherwise he will "flounder."

You know what I find your criticism of Matt astonishing considering once every six months you get your panties in a bunch and start a thread on how you're out of here. That's a lot of hate coming from a guy that can't even take criticism from a bunch of anonymous people without grabbing his keyboard with tears streaming from your eyes and running for the door.

Of course he wants acknowledgment from his coaches a lot of quarterbacks are wired that way a lot of people are wired that way you of all people should understand that. If for no other reason it's hard to lead a team when you don't have public support from your coach. Even Warner stated last off-season that it was easier for him to lead the team because he was the man going into camp. There's some people in this world you need to crack a whip to get the best out of them and there's other people that will literally work themselves to death for affirmation. I seriously doubt you could name one athlete that wasn't driven by something that did not have some kind of dysfunction behind it.

PS, If you’re not the wine bag that I'm remembering I apologize in advance, but I’m pretty sure it’s you.

Funny you mention Warner...how about his assessment of ML's chances? Dubious at best.

Hey, keep the insults coming. I guess I deserve them, huh?

OLY, chill man... Mitch has a right to his opinon just like you and I don't see Mitch throwing personal insults.

He has a right not to like Matt...

humpty dumpty?

 

[Hypothesis]

If we want to sign a veteran QB with alot of experience, I'd just assume go after Daunte Culpepper. Same age, similar stats, both had knee injuries and both have a similar skill set. McNabb has spent his entire career in the WCO and knows nothing else. Culpepper spent most of his career in a spread the field, vertical type offense similar to what we have here, at least more so than McNabb.

The main difference here, is one would cost our 1st round pick and other compensation, while the other, would only require a good chunk of salary via FA.

 

[Buckybird]

Daunte Culpepper

Thats a joke right?

Comparing McNabb & Culpepper no matter the style of offense at this point of their careers is like comparing Kelly Stouffer to Peyton Manning

 

[cardinal call]

oly IMO matt wil not start so he can get all the criticism from everyone if we dont sign any one else than, Anderson will be the starter. maybe not for the start of the season but at the end of the season

You are one funny little goofball, Mitch............jk.

 

[cardsfanmd]

Probably a 4th or 5th, this year or next.

Yeah, right Mitch since they just gave up a 3rd and a boatload of money for a guy who's never taken a snap. Please try to hide it a little better.

Ony if Leinart is hurt.

 

[cardsfanmd]

[Buckybird]

agree

it will basically sink or swim with #7

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Should be a no-brainer. Keep the best player in franchise history (Fitz) happy during his prime. Not to mention Leinart is too soft to be a steady NFL player.

I would be okay with McNabb as the QB if Matt does not work out this season...McNabb will be FA next season, so If Matt sucks--which I do not think will happen--then, I am all for McNabb.

I agree with Kent Somers. Why would the Cardinals be interested in McNabb when they have Leinart & Anderson at Qb. It is a bunch of smoke & mirrors. I believe the trade rumors are true. Just not with the Cardinals. The Cardinals would have already set up a trade for McNabb & not sign Anderson, if they were truely interested. The only way McNabb would be a factor if Leinart wasn't with the organzation. Leinart is annoited the future of the Arizona Cardinals when he was drafted. If Leinart doesn't pan out this season then I can see the Cardinals going after McNabb. Just not this season.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Raiders seem to be team most heavily invested in obtaining McNabb

"League sources told me that several teams are actively pursuing Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. A source with knowledge of the situation said McNabb was being pursued by "some teams that would surprise you, and some you would expect." There is a strong expectation in the NFL and agent community that a deal could be completed in the near future, given the level of interest, and McNabb is by far the most likely Eagles QB to be dealt.

THANK you! I was going to post it after reading this thread if you hadn't. Good God, people, give it a REST. We aren't trading for McNugget. We're not taking Colt McCoy in the 1st or 2nd. Derek Anderson wasn't signed to be the starter this year. We're rolling with Matt Leinart. You're only driving yourselves crazy speculating about NOTHING. Sheesh.

 

[Gee!]

I wouldnt want McNabb if he were free.. Dude chokes in big games..
