ORLANDO, Fla. – Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid said Wednesday the team is entertaining offers for Donovan McNabb(notes), and multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports the Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders have inquired about the quarterback’s availability.

However, one source with knowledge of McNabb’s interests said the 11-year veteran would favor a trade to a team with a contending roster, such as the Arizona Cardinals – a franchise that isn’t currently in the mix for his services. The source said McNabb likely wouldn’t sign a long-term deal in either Buffalo or Oakland, which could create a sticking point in any trade talks, as both franchises would expect a new deal in place before acquiring him. McNabb is due a $6.2 million roster bonus in May and is slated to become an unrestricted free agent in 2011.

Re: Yahoo Sources: Bills HAVE inquired about McNabb

McNabb has been my favorite QB his whole pro career. I became a fan near the end of his Cuse days. This would make my season if my favorite QB joined my favorite team.

However, it's probably better if he doesn't come here. We can't afford to wait even longer to start building this team up again if he doesn't wanna stick around long.

I certainly don't have any inside information about McNabb, but I am getting the sense its a realistic possibility.

I do think Philly is gonna trade a QB to some team before draft day.. To whom and which one, is anybody's guess, but given the success Rodgers had following Favre, I say its McNabb definitely.

I can only hope. This would be quite a sight to see my favorite QB in my team's colors.

As long as they get the extension, I'm all for it.

If they make this trade and he walks in a year, my head explodes.

Unless he walks off with a SB Ring.

He doesn't want to come to a re-build and we're re-building. To me, that's asking to have a guy as a one year rental. Pass.

they won't

he wants to win a championship, not languish in purgatory, we trade for McNabb it will be 1 year and gone.

i'm not against renting him. i just don't want to see us give more then a 4th rounder (next year) for a 1 year rental.

Agreed. Do you think Ralph would pay him that kind of money?

you do know McNabb completed 60% of his passes, threw for over 3,500 yards and tossed 22 TDs against 10 INT's last year

Right?

He's far from washed up.

He's on the back nine approaching the 16th tee. We need a long term solution not a band aid.

I don't think money is the issue at all. I think getting Donovan to agree to an extension for a franchise like Buffalo is a huge issue to overcome.

Re: Yahoo Sources: Bills HAVE inquired about McNabb

McNabb lives in Arizona during the offseason. Naturally he wants to play for the Cards but they just signed Derek Anderson for 4 Mil a year, for some ******ed reason.

McNabb has to realize something. Playoff contending teams ALREADY HAVE QB's. His options are limited.

I was just watching ESPN's Outside The Lines while they spoke to 2 Philly area reporters. McNabb is quoted as saying he wants Philly to do something now either way. Either declare him the starter or deal him quickly.

He may be forcing their hand. If the Bills give him 3-4 years at many Million$ per year, he'll come.
