Super shuffle? McNabb, Briggs swap makes sense (1 Viewer)

[tlovyankee]

Was the recent drafting of quarterback Kevin Kolb a sign that the Philadelphia Eagles might trade Donovan McNabb before the 2007 season?

That's one theory, anyway. As for a possible destination, the Chicago Bears are ready to win the Super Bowl. They might have won it last year except for a glaring weakness at quarterback.

The key to this scenario is Bears linebacker Lance Briggs, who has said publicly that he will never play for Chicago again and who refused to report to minicamp on Friday.

Briggs is, arguably, the best weakside linebacker in the game and is only 26. He could help Philly rebuild its defense while Kolb gets ready to take control of the offense.

This rumor has already been posted. You have a link to the Philly Inquirer stating this?

Not sure why it makes sense to the Eagles unless they have the cap space to give Briggs a long term contract and the patience to suffer through a rookie QB.

Makes great sense to the Bears, but sadly Rex Grossman has those blackmail photos of the Bears front office Christmas Party...

I was not trying to start a new thread. This was different from what I have read prior.

I found this on Yahoo and they credited the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Here is the link in the Yahoo article.
