THE EAGLES NEST
When Philadelphia used its top pick on Houston quarterback Kevin Kolb, the Eagles quarterback most impacted now is not Donovan McNabb, but rather Kelly Holcomb.
Even though the Eagles are determined to carry four quarterbacks through much of the preseason, it's unlikely they'll carry four into the regular season. Therefore, one has to go.
McNabb, as the face of the franchise, is a lock; so is Kolb, the potential quarterback of the future. And this offseason, the Eagles re-signed quarterback A.J. Feeley to a four-year, $7.2 million contract that included $2 million in guaranteed money.
This leaves Holcomb, whom Philadelphia acquired in an off-season trade from Buffalo, as the fourth quarterback and the apparent odd man out.
