With the acquisition of Donovan McNabb, it appears that Jason Campbell's days in Washington are numbered. The Redskins are hoping to get some draft picks to make up for the ones that they sent to the Eagles for McNabb. At the moment, the Raiders and Panthers are the frontrunners to land Campbell. Another potential trade includes the Broncos with the Redskins attempting to get Brandon Marshall. This is a longshot but stranger things have happened.
In addition, the Philadelphia Eagles are putting QB Michael Vick on the trade market. This seems like a peculiar move for the Eagles given the fact that the most productive Vick can be is on the Eagles as a wildcat or backup QB. While Vick showed glimpses of his past ability, he is far from the QB he was a few years ago. Trading Vick for a lower round draft pick would be almost the equivalent of giving him away. The Eagles offense which was already relying on big plays last year would stagnate without McNabb or Vick to give defensive coordinators nightmares. Ultimately, the Eagles are probably going to keep Vick and try to improve through the draft.

ReplyDeleteYou mean like Donovan McNabb being traded in-conference.
