Eagles may trade QB McNabb to Rams

A trade seems likely to happen between the Philadelphia Eagles and the St. Louis Rams on quarterback Donovan McNabb, who could become a starter for the Rams instead of a backup with the Eagles if the trade succeeds.

According to reports, the Rams plan to sent their best defensive player, safety O.J. Atogwe, to Philadelphia, along with their 2010 second-round pick (33rd overall in the draft) in exchange for McNabb. Such offer would fill the Eagles’ need of an immediate impact playmaking safety.

As for the Rams, acquiring McNabb would bring them a powerful threatening weapon and improve their rank in the Weak NFC West, especially as the Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner has retired and the San Francisco 49ers are banking much on Alex Smith. With McNabb to put on the Rams jersey and team up with Steven Jackson, the Rams will definitely have a much better offensive line. Therefore, the deal is really a win-win one and seems very likely to happen soon.

McNabb or Vick to leave?

As previous rumors said the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb may leave the team during 2010 season, to retire or be traded, latest guesses are that McNabb may continue wearing his No. 5 Eagles jersey, but Michael Vick may be traded during offseason.

All because Eagles Coach Andy Reid said that he expects McNabb to be back with the team. But someone also doubts that Reid said so in purpose of driving up the veteran’s trade value. After all, losing last Saturday’s playoff game to the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles may need something or someone new to keep fans hope alive.

Either McNabb or Vick leaves, one thing is for sure: Kevin Kolb will be back with the Eagles for 2010 season and is a popular choice to replace McNabb to be the No. 1 quarterback. As for Vick, who threw a TD pass to Jeremy Maclin in Saturday’s loss, may remains the No. 2 quarterback.
