Suh will go #1 now more than likely, if true.

[patmoran2006]

Scratch this thread, or rumor

It's not true and been verified by too many knowledgeable people to link.

At least for now

[DraftBoy]

Not that twitter is the official source of anything but I see nothing there from any of the major NFL reporters.

[The King]

NFL Radio has said nothing.

Who verified it not being true?

[Ingtar33]

Or Bryant... the Rams still need WR more then they need any other position on the field... hell i wouldn't put it past them to go OT if this is true.

Just went Jason Smith last year, they going to take a RT #1 overall?

Granted this is all speculation.

yes they did, when tim and pat got back from break they mentioned that NY radio stations had started reporting it and that they were working to verify it

McNabb-to-Rams rumor surfaces, debunked

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/36023299/ns/sports-player_news/


(http://%20http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/36023299/ns/sports-player_news/)

[Raptor]

Brian Stull of ESPN 101 disputes rumors that the Rams have traded the No. 33 overall pick to Philadelphia in exchange for Donovan McNabb.

Stull calls the rumor, which originated from a New York radio station, "incorrect, or at least premature." Philadelphia radio station 97.5 has also apparently gone public with the report, although we're unable to confirm it. Acquiring McNabb would presumably take St. Louis out of the running for Sam Bradford with the No. 1 pick. McNabb, entering his age-34 season, would also require a multi-year contract extension, in addition to the premium draft choice.

[methos4ever]

They're waiting for verification on Sirius, but Tim and Pat just reported the Eagles may have Traded McNabb to the Rams for the #33 pick. If I see/hear more I'll update. But for now, it's just a rumor.

Update - It's been said it's untrue at worst, premature at best:

[patmoran2006]

McNabb is not coming here. Just read he will REFUSE to acecpt an extension if he's traded to Buffalo.

He doesn't want to be here.

Any Buffalo deal is dead.

Looks like it will be the Rams

[patmoran2006]

ORLANDO -- Donovan McNabb (http://topics.philly.com/topic/Donovan_McNabb) could be in a Rams uniform by the end of the day, possibly by the end of the week.

The Eagles (http://topics.philly.com/topic/Philadelphia_Eagles) have an offer on the table that would give them St. Louis' second-round draft pick (33d overall) in exchange for McNabb. That deal, however, is "not yet completed," according to a league source.

McNabb would be willing to go to the Rams if he was given a contract extension, according to a source close to the situation. He would not be willing to play for Buffalo or Oakland, two moribund franchises that might be willing to take McNabb without an extension.

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/McNabb_to_the_Rams_on_the_table.html

[patmoran2006]

Damn.. We have to be called a moribund franchise??

Well, aside from fans in Buffalo that's no surprise. This franchise is not respected league-wide one bit.

If the Bills are looking at a QB early this helps them out.

[patmoran2006]

This would mean three things for sure.

1- Suh is going to be a Ram. (McNabb and Suh, wow what an improvement)

2- Bradford will be a Redskin

3- Clausen will absolutely be on the board at #9 for all you Jimmy lovers.

good. **** him

[camelcowboy]

Good,McNabb at 33 is not the answer for a franchise that's clearly rebuilding especially at a 2nd round price no thanks.

[jbisset]

Great!!! We need to draft the next great bills' QB...We do not need an aging QB

[zone]

Buffalo is a morbid franchise? The Rams won one ***** game last year!

Easier trading up to 3 then to 1, Hell Tampa is cashed strapped we might be able to jump the redskins and keep our second. I wouldn't hate trading up for Bradford.

[SirMcGee]

Buffalo is a morbid franchise? The Rams won one ***** game last year!

Moribund. Not morbid. And yes...we ARE a moribund franchise.

[patmoran2006]

Love McNabb or hate him.

What the hell does that say about the Bills franchise that a player will sign an extension to join the Rams, a team that is 6-42 over the last three years.

But not the Bills??

[scartown]

The Rams have won 6 games the last 3 years, one of the worst 3 year stretches ever.

[DrGraves]

time to move up for bradford

[trapezeus]

rams have new ownership....they have the top pick, they have won a superbowl and been to the playoffs in the last 10 years.

but the players have to like that the new owner will pay regardless of what the stadium attendence is like.

[sksteele]

Every time Buffalo misses a target the reports come out : Buffalo franchise sucks. Bull ****. Thats all I have to say. If McNabb wont play here shame on him - NOT the Bills and definitely not the city of Buffalo. This franchise is on the right track.

[zone]

Moribund. Not morbid. And yes...we ARE a moribund franchise.
Lol, guess I read that a little quick, but my same sentiments apply. Why is it that every story that comes out has to throw a little dig about the state of our franchise.

You tell the 70k fans that showed up every home game to watch a crap product that this franchise is on it's way out.

It says that the Rams were willing to offer him an extension while the Bills weren't.

Or maybe that we weren't interested in a short term solution at QB.

Blame Donovan on this.

I'll only believe this when they actually start negotiating with him. They still have drafted 3 D-linemen in the last 4 first rounds (2 in the top 10) and OT, LB, DB and WR are far bigger needs then DL

My guess is this makes Okung or Bryant the odds on favorite... if they keep the pick... if they don't, a trade-down with a team that MUST have Bradford or Suh.

nope, but you were the first one to try to discredit raptor and you started a new thread with the news....sorry, you don't getting any credit.

It's going to be Okung if they don't trade out of the spot.

Blahblahblah..

Enough of you.

[tampabay25690]

Suh will go #1 now more than likely, if true.

YEP good move by St Louis if its true

Good I want Clausen.

A Rams source tells Profootballtalk.com that there is "zero truth" to rumors that St. Louis might send the No. 33 overall pick and FS O.J. Atogwe to the Eagles in exchange for Donovan McNabb.
The source says "all focus" at Rams Park is on evaluating draft-eligible passers. It's worth noting that reports have Philadelphia -- not St. Louis -- making trade proposals. Thus, it's possible that the Eagles are using the media in an attempt to drive up McNabb's price tag. The No. 33 pick, especially in a rich draft that contains at least 50 players wearing first-round grades, is a highly valuable selection. And Atogwe is St. Louis' most reliable defensive back.

[B-DON]

no way in hell the rams trade atogwe and the 33rd pick for mcnabb. that would be an effin steal

[Nighthawk]

What is funny that McNabb would be OK with an extension with the Rams, but not with the Bills or Raiders? Ummm, hey Donovan, you do realize the Rams suck balls and will for awhile...right?

[patmoran2006]

i'ts all he said, she said for right now.

Now Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports chimes in.

YahooSportsNFL (http://twitter.com/YahooSportsNFL)
(http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/)
For what it's worth, dependable Rams source says they have NOT offered their 2nd round pick 4 Donovan McNabb.

[THRILLHO]

What is funny that McNabb would be OK with an extension with the Rams, but not with the Bills or Raiders? Ummm, hey Donovan, you do realize the Rams suck balls and will for awhile...right?

So is your complaint that he would chose them over us, or that he should sign with none of the teams? All three of the teams are in shambles and are not ready to win this year or next.

Only reason I could see McNabb liking Stl is the dome.

No, just stating that it seems kind of funny that this so called "source" states that he would be open to signing an extension with a team that is actually worse then the Bills. It does not make any sense, thus it is just a crazy rumor.

[DraftBoy]

That's how it looks to me too

Why would they take Okung? They just took LT Jason Smith last year.

[better days]

rams have new ownership....they have the top pick, they have won a superbowl and been to the playoffs in the last 10 years.

but the players have to like that the new owner will pay regardless of what the stadium attendence is like.

The owner has to find a way to fill the seats in St Louis or they could head back to LA.

It is further from Philly.

[Jeff1220]

It's not a dig every time a player rejects an opportunity from the Bills...it could have to do w/the fact that DM grew up not that far from St. Louis (in Chicago) and probably still has most of his family in the Midwest.

[ghz in pittsburgh]

According to this, no extension is McNabb's choice
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cr-mcnabbtraderumors032410&prov=yhoo&type=lgn

And I highly doubt the Bills will offer a draft pick for McNabb if he's not willing to sign an extension. I think the franchise has gone pass the "marketing moves"

[PECKERWOOD]

Good. Better Chance we get Clausen now.

Hell yeah, that's a nice observation!!! Clausen & Bradford > McNabb.

[zone]

Hell yeah, that's a nice observation!!! Clausen & Bradford > McNabb.
How about waiting for either of them to play a down in the NFL before proclaiming that.

They are planning on lining up 5 LTs next season opener? :idunno:

How about: Domed stadium, No fighting driving snow storms or wind,
no fighting the most fickle fans on the planet, A much easier division to play in, without getting killed. And most of all no NY Taxes...
