Sometimes you move on.

Exactly. As the saying goes, it's better to part with a player a year early than a year late. They get the first pick in the second round for a QB who turns 34 this year, and they have Kolb ready to take the reins. McNabb will be a good starter for maybe another 2 or 3 years, then he's done. I think this is a smart move by the Eagles. Andy Reid knows what he's doing. Kolb has shown he can play, and they still have Vick as well.

It will be interesting to see if we take Bradford, or just rob some team dying to trade up and grab him. There will be takers.

No doubt.. for those that say Campbell won't be here more than a year.. well he's got several years before he hits 34.. the Rams 2nd round pick would be great for them if they didn't think that they could get the Lombardi this year

On a side note, if they get McNabb, Steven Jackson's fantasy value just blew up.
