Source: No Frontrunner For McNabb

Nov 1, 2014 8:18 AM

The Eagles continue to discuss possible trades involving quarterback Donovan McNabb, but nothing appears imminent. "There is no so-called front-runner," a senior team official told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio. "We continue to engage in conversations with multiple teams that initially contacted us. Some of the offers involve draft picks, some involve a player, some involve many players. We are evaluating the offers. But if some team had totally blown us away, we would probably have made a deal already." Earlier this week it was reported that the Raiders were the frontrunner to land McNabb, but those reports appear to be premature. Oakland, however, does have the pieces needed to acquire McNabb from Philadelphia.

Weaver Wants McNabb In Philadelphia

Oct 22, 2014 4:01 AM

Eagles fullback Leonard Weaver wants to see Donovan McNabb remain with the team. "I'm surprised," Weaver told NFL Sirius Radio of the trade rumors swirling around McNabb. "Let the man go ahead and play the last year of his contract out. ... Not a knock on (backup quarterback Kevin) Kolb, but I would love for Donovan to come back for another year so we can try to win it all." Last season was Weaver's first with Philadelphia.

Scout: Kolb Better Suited For Eagles Than McNabb

Jul 29, 2014 12:11 AM

If the Eagles end up trading Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb will step into the starting role. While Kolb doesn't have McNabb's arm strength, at least one NFL scout believes that he'd be better for Philadelphia's system. "He can throw the slant better than McNabb," the scout said. "And that's a throw you'd want to master if you're playing in the traditional West Coast." A former NFL coach added that the only way for the Eagles to find out if Kolb is ready is to simply throw him out there. "He's been trained well, and the position comes naturally to him," said the coach. "I think he has it. But there's really only one way to know for sure, and that's to throw him out there."

McNabb Has Impact On Possible Trades

Jul 30, 2014 9:10 PM

The Eagles are listening to trade offers for quarterback Donovan McNabb as the offseason progresses, but trading him isn't necessarily cut and dry. McNabb has one year remaining on his contract and the News Journal points out that he'll likely have to agree on a long-term contract before any team agrees to pay what is believed to be a hefty price for him. It was reported last week that Philadelphia wants a top-42 pick in any package for McNabb, making a long-term pact even more important.
