    Reid: Team evaluating trade offers
    ESPN.com news services
    Andy Reid has said Donovan McNabb is his starting quarterback headed into 2010.
    But the trade rumors around the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback situation have persisted. And now Reid says that teams are in fact making offers for the Eagles' quarterbacks, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
    “ People are entertaining us with offers. Nothing's been done, but we're evaluating all of them. That's the truth.
    ” -- Eagles coach Andy Reid
    Reid said the team is entertaining and evaluating offers, but did not say whether those offers were for McNabb, former Atlanta Falcons starter Michael Vick or backup Kevin Kolb, who is widely regarded as the Eagles' QB of the future.
    "This is the truth: Our three quarterbacks are Philadelphia Eagles," Reid said Tuesday at the NFL owners' meetings in Orlando, according to the Inquirer. "People are entertaining us with offers. Nothing's been done, but we're evaluating all of them. That's the truth. There's not a lot really going on other than entertaining."
    Reid would not address the team's specific plans, according to the report, but said from a coach's standpoint, the Eagles are in an enviable position.
    "There are coaches who dream to be in this situation," Reid said, according to the report. "I'm not in any hurry to get rid of any of them. Have people talked? Yeah, people have talked. Have we listened? Yeah, we're in the process of listening. The bottom line is if I have all three of them, that's great."
    Reid has stated and reiterated that McNabb is the team's starter headed into 2010. But trade rumors have not died down as the team's supporters debate whether it would be best to stick with McNabb, who has brought the team to five NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl, or turn the page and give Kolb the keys to the offense. And trade rumors about Vick heading to another NFL city where he could start sprung up before the 2009 season had ended.

      So what does Philly do? McNabb has been there forever, and has never won a Championship. While he has led his team to the playoffs many times, he reached the Superbowl once, and failed to do so 7 other times, not the greatest record by far. He still has value, but will he after another season, especially considering his age, and vulnerability to injury of late? If you do not dump him now, what happens in 2011, when there may not even be another season, and if there is a season, it would be under what could be a drastically changed new agreement.

      Kolb is the alleged "QB of the future" but how much longer will he wait? Then there is the Vick situation. MAking things worse for the Eagles is the fact that all three contracts expire after this season. Reid says that the Eagles will be fine if they do nothing, but after last season's disaster in Dallas x2, what is "fine"? As a gambler, I hope they do nothing. I like the fact that Philly is 1-7 ATS in their last regular season game of the year. I also like the fact that they are a pretty safe bet to lose if they reach the NFL Championship game. I think the window of opportunity has closed on this bunch. Reid and company need to make some drastic changes, or face more "one and out" situations in the playoffs, if they make it that far.

        I think they should trade 1 QB way back. Probably Vick is this QB.

            I think mcnabbs is in the last year of his deal. I would not get rid of him if I could only get a low second rounder for him. hold onto him now and wait for a qb to get hurt or some team to become desperate at the quarterback position.
