Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb

[53Fan]

Besides Childress being McNabbs first NFL QB's coach, Kevin Rogers the Viking's QB coach, was also his position coach at Syracuse. Supposedly when Childress went to visit Favre about playing next year, it was with McNabb in mind. Hmmm...

You might think this is business as usual. However whats surprising to me is that it was reported that people were going to be surprised at how much Russell had trimmed down. If he did then looks like he might have been the first 300+ pound QB since Jared Lorenzen.

JaMarcus Russell reportedly weighed in at 290 pounds when he reported for the Raiders' offseason program.

So Oakland can scratch left tackle off its list of needs. Russell was initially reported to weigh 271, but many close to the situation immediately doubted that report. Russell, annually and incredibly overweight, isn't doing anything to shed his emerging label as the biggest bust in NFL history.

Anyway maybe McNabb could be headed to Alcatraz, er I mean Oakland, weather he wants to not.

I think he has the right to refuse a trade to any team he doesn't want to go to, but if they give him an extention and the moneys right..... I also heard Oakland is willing to give up Asomugha for him.

Only in principle. Basically his best chance to stop a trade is to scare the crap out of a team that wants to trade for him.

I personally didn't (can't say I said the same thing about Quinn) but apparently a lot scouts fell in love with him during the offseason leading up to the draft. I've heard some people compare his skillset to that of John Elway. He's also had one of the most impressive pro days in recent memory, weighing in at 256 and running a 4.8 40, then throwing the ball 60 yards from his knees. All the while being all but personally in-sync with his recievers at his pro day despite spending most of him time training out of state.

Not sure what you mean Dirtbag. Does he or doesn't he?

Jamarcus Russell puts Sammy Davis jr. to shame, check the figurine of himself "Chosen" dangling from his chest on the necklace.

McNabb does not have a no trade clause. If he wanted to prevent a trade he would basically have to go to the media and scare off certain teams that would try to trade for him. For example saying outright publicaly that he will not sign a contract extension with Buffalo or Oakland if he were to be traded or better yet saying that he will not play for them. Legally though he can't stop a trade on his own.

Thanks for clearing that up. :thumb: I was under the impression he had the right to refuse.

It's actually much easier than that. Since McNabb has only one year left on his current contract, a team that trades for him will need to negotiate a new contract or an extension.

All Mcnabb has to do is not come to any agreement. Bingo, trade is nullified and McNabb stays in Philly.

As stated he doesn't have a no trade clause. But with only one year remaining on his contract, he really is in the drivers seat as to where he ends up if traded.
