Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb

Besides Childress being McNabbs first NFL QB's coach, Kevin Rogers the Viking's QB coach, was also his position coach at Syracuse. Supposedly when Childress went to visit Favre about playing next year, it was with McNabb in mind. Hmmm...

You might think this is business as usual. However whats surprising to me is that it was reported that people were going to be surprised at how much Russell had trimmed down. If he did then looks like he might have been the first 300+ pound QB since Jared Lorenzen.

JaMarcus Russell reportedly weighed in at 290 pounds when he reported for the Raiders' offseason program.

So Oakland can scratch left tackle off its list of needs. Russell was initially reported to weigh 271, but many close to the situation immediately doubted that report. Russell, annually and incredibly overweight, isn't doing anything to shed his emerging label as the biggest bust in NFL history.

Anyway maybe McNabb could be headed to Alcatraz, er I mean Oakland, weather he wants to not.

So much for him showing up slim and trim, what's up with that?

If I'm the Raiders I would just cut him. It's obvious the guy just isn't going to pan out. He's a bum.

I think he has the right to refuse a trade to any team he doesn't want to go to, but if they give him an extention and the moneys right..... I also heard Oakland is willing to give up Asomugha for him.

Thing is Russell had apparently ballooned to 305 lbs during the off-season...so technically he did slim down to 290.

Thats what I kind of already figured. Still it's a long ways away from the 265 he was at the combine. I also find it kind of ironic that he slimmed down to 256 for his pro day. Seems like when money's involved he's the cream of the crop.

Kiffin noticed how well Russell moved, too. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds, which surprised a lot of the NFL observers, as did his weight of 256.

"He was 265 at the combine," Kiffin said. "Dropping nine pounds knowing this was a big day shows his commitment and shows that his mind's in the right place."

I would say to beware of productive pro days but I doubt Timmy will have the same problems if we draft him.

I wouldn't be surprised (or upset) if we did end up drafting him.

id rate him above the journeyman quarterback we have on the roster and the soon-to-be jounrneyman QB we're trying to get rid of.


Why would you want Sage? He might be better than Grossman, and I emphasize might, but he is not better than JC. I mean how good can he be, he was our 3rd string QB for most of his time here.
