Apparently, someone called the Birds to attempt to trade for Donovan McNabb prior to the trade deadline and received a rather ridiculous response. Profootballtalk.com passed on the following report:
Clearly, the Eagles' must be high. I understand why they would ask for such a high price in the middle of the season as taking anything less would lead to a fan revolt, but three first round picks? Who do the Eagles think they are kidding? They will be lucky to receive one first round pick should they trade McNabb in the offseason.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Philadelphia Eagles were contacted before the trade deadline regarding the availability of quarterback Donovan McNabb.
And the requested price was not one, not two, but three first-round draft picks.

In any event, it sure seems like the Birds are at least thinking about dealing McNabb. No matter how you look at it, it appears #5's days are numbered here in Philly.

Well apparently the guy that reports the story was the one smoking crack. It has been reported that no one called the Eagles and the entire story is wrong. Got to love the internet :-p
yeah, i don't buy that anyone would offer anything for McNabb in season less than 1 yr. after surgery. Especially considering the way he was playing and his lack of mobility.
Maybe just maybe we get a 2nd or 3rd pick in the offseason.
My guess, he's back starting next year.
