kolb for DRC?!?!?

[bigsportsguy2006]

reports are the eagles could be getting Dominique rodgers-cromartie for kevin kolb ... really hoping its true, as i think this will help BOTH teams.

need them to end this lockout so things can go CRAZY in the nfl free agency and trading markets!!

Anyone to our defense would help right now. Hoping they go after some DB's

lol, rumors

The Cards need to keep DRC so their corners can be one strength on defense. True that they need a QB too, but since McNabb is likely to be released by Washington, and he lives in AZ, I see that as a much better play for the Cards since they won't have to give up DRC. That would be a short-term solution, but it fits the front office's MO with Warner and Anderson.

I have heard that DRC would not be enough to land Kolb. Not sure if this is the Iggles trying to get more for Kolb or if they really think the value for him is really that high.

[PHILLYBIRDS20]

they r looking for a pick also. Iggles cant draft for phuck all so I would rather see them get an established player that they can play right away in one of the bigggest needs they have on there defense

Report: Eagles interested in Brett Favre | ProFootballTalk

Eagles may want to sign Brett Favre; Vick would be ‘honored’

By Doug Farrar

The worst part is that though Favre has made no noises about returning to the game after retirement (again), his possible tenure with the Eagles makes all the sense in the world, especially given the time constraints of the (potential) new CBA. If the league year starts next Wednesday, training camps will be limited at best, and we all know how Favre has enjoyed playing his own tune when it comes to that part of the preseason — he was very transparent in his last two retirements, both of which had him with the Minnesota Vikings when those retirements were retracted.

Add in the fact that Favre knows Eagles head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg from his days in Green Bay, and you've got a good scheme fit for Favre's talents. And when the Eagles trade Kevin Kolb(notes) (as they undeniably will), that will put Michael Vick(notes) out there as the absolute starter. Factor in Vick's breakneck style, the injuries it led to in 2010, and the four games he missed, and it's clear the Eagles need a veteran backup familiar with a West Coast Offense that has aerial passing components.

Right now, this is just Eskin's rumor, though he's fairly dialed in. The Eagles can't talk to free agents or draft picks, but there's nothing in the lockout rules we're aware of preventing them from talking to retired players. If Favre is interested in coming back to a team able to challenge for a Super Bowl, in a media hotbed, behind a vulnerable quarterback, which a staff he knows, and talented targets all over the place … well, there would be few better places for him to go.

Then, there's the intangible argument. The lockout has taken the attention of the NFL media through the spring and summer; very few people have made Favre the primary subject of their attention, and we all know how he reacts to that.

It's tempting to ask the owners and players to put some sort of "Anti-Favre" provision in the new CBA before the NFLPA signs off on it, but we suppose we'll have to see how this plays out.



MikeVick tweet: "I would be honored to have Brett Favre as a backup. That will be amazing. Learning how to toy with defenses the way he did his whole career."

Would be nice to have to mentor Vick and Kafka
