Trade Talk: Eagles' Donovan McNabb for Bears' Lance Briggs
Published 5/20/2007 by Michael David Smith at FanHouse
... The Philadelphia Inquirer today floats one of those trade rumors that we all know isn't going to happen but is fun to talk about anyway: The Eagles sending Donovan McNabb to the Bears for Lance Briggs . Inquirer columnist Don McKee calls the trade "the inner thought of one of the area's most sage football observers." He notes that Briggs is unhappy as the Bears' franchise player and that McNabb is unhappy that the Eagles drafted quarterback Kevin Kolb with their first pick in last year's draft. That would make the two players switching places a sensible solution. Of course, there are all kinds of reasons that it wouldn't be sensible. There are salary cap ramifications, for one thing, which are usually conveniently overlooked when it comes time for trade speculation. And trading McNabb now would put the Eagles into rebuilding mode even though there's enough talent on the roster to cont

McNot Coming to Chicago
Published 5/24/2007 at Da Bears Blog
... The McNabb to the Chicago Bears rumor started in a column by Don McKee of the Philadelphia Inquirer who is basically doing his best impression of a caller to the Mike & the Mad Dog show. "Uhhh yeah, Dawg...how about we trade Giambi and Pavano for someone like, I don't know, Ray Halloway." (That was on purpose folks.) McKee's proposition, while interesting, has about as much merit as my opinions on astro physics.

McNabb for Briggs Trade Un-Rumor

This is not a "rumor." Rumors are things journalists hear from sources, not when a columnist opines about what thinks the team should do. Yahoo! and other big net sites have been guilty of labeling opinion pieces they pick from local papers as "rumors" for a long time now and it has to stop.

Was the recent drafting of quarterback Kevin Kolb a sign that the Philadelphia Eagles might trade Donovan McNabb before the 2007 season?That's one theory, anyway. As for a possible destination, the Chicago Bears are ready to win the Super Bowl. They might have won it last year except for a glaring weakness at quarterback.The key to this scenario is Bears linebacker Lance Briggs
