Trade on the table for Atogwe and 2nd round pick from the Rams to Philly for McNabb:
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/McNabb_to_the_Rams_on_the_table.html
So Sharper seems to be the only FS left and with the FO seeming like they are not interested in him then what could our plans be?
Hate to say it but am starting to wonder if it would have been better not to cut Wilson so fast. Perhaps could have got something for him in a trade with the market so slim and if we don't end up signing a FS at least we still had one on the roster. I hope the FO knows what they are doing!

Happy we cut wilson..knew it would happen..his play deserved it.
Just not sure why Mike vick is not the one being shopped...
If I were someone like the browns, I would be on Mike vick, pair him up with cribbs, and draft tebow...That would be a really nice hybrid system.. -
Yea, I don't think anyone would argue the need to replace him, guess we will see if he has any value if another team picks him up. Still wondering where that replacement is going to come from though.
And yea can't believe McNabb to Rams for a second and Atogwe that seems like a steal...can't believe Philly would keep Vick over McNabb that is just baffling. -
He would not be willing to play for Buffalo or Oakland, two moribund franchises that might be willing to take McNabb:lol::lol:

The Eagle's are crazy. I know McNabb has his problems sometimes, but the guy is a way above average QB. I'd have taken him in a heartbeat until Penny and Henne. I don't understand them.

Also, I have a hard time seeing OJ Atogwe in this deal. I don't understand why St. Louis would do that.Anonymous, GISH, Fin-Omenal and 1 other person like this. -

Trade Penny for Atogwe and swap Second Round picks. McNabb and Penny are same age so only his injury history would scare them off.

If I'm the Denver Broncos I'm getting Brandon Marshall on a plane to Philly, right now. Have brady q carry his bags.
Or Cleveland, or Minnesota if Bretty doesn't get it in gear soon, or Jacksonville, or Carolina or San Fran,
Or heres one from left field, McNabb in black and gold...??? He wouldn't even have to pack. -

League sources told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora that several teams are actively pursuing McNabb, and there's a strong belief that he's by far the Eagles quarterback most likely to be traded, even though Reid said the 11-year veteran is the starter. A source with knowledge of the situation said McNabb's suitors are "some teams that would surprise you, and some you would expect."

Rams are in he same boat. They need to rebuild and giving away atogwe and the 33 is anti rebuilding especially for a qb with 2 good years left. I will be shocked if this happens.... They should be more apt to make that trade for kolb or roll the dice on another under achieving "Youngster" -
penny > mcnabb? lol i love penny too but get real. penny has leadership skills above mcnabb, but mcnabb aint bad there and has all the phys skills over pemny by head and shoulders.. intangibles go to penny and intang. r huge, but mcnabb has the intang as well so penny's edge is sign less than mcnabbs edge in phys. skills

I think I would not like this trade if I were a Rams fan, at all. Not knocking McNabb at all, he's just old, I would want someone much younger since they are in serious rebuilding mode. And would not want to give away a quality FS like Atogwe. -
New Orleans' Darren Sharper is by far the best unrestricted free agent left, but Miami is not among four teams pursuing him. The Dolphins studied Sharper and haven't necessarily ruled him out but have been focusing on safeties in the upcoming NFL Draft.

I would feel about like we did when we got Pennington and had the "greatest single-season turnaround in NFL history" going from 1-15 to 11-5 and that would be feeling ecstatic! :yes: -

Also, I completely disagree on Pennington over McNabb. I know I shouldn't be surprised at the lack of respect for McNabb's ability but I am. The guy gets booed the minute he becomes an Eagle, brings them to the NFC Championship game, what five times? Took them to the Super Bowl too. And he goes from a running QB to a passing QB in the process but still gets no respect.
