Donovan McNabb will have a fresh start.

No doubt about that as he will be with a new team at the start of the 2010 NFL football season. In case you didn’t know, he was traded to Washington, where he h

as been a welcomed addition. It now begs the question: Are the Eagles better off without him? Are the Redskins better with him? The answer could be yes to both.

You see, Donovan McNabb went to six Pro Bowls and led the Eagles to eight play-off appearances, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl in 11 seasons. But he did not win the big one, and the organization decided to move on with Kevin Kolb at quarterback.

Though Kolb has started just two games in three seasons, he has received high praise from his coaches, teammates and analysts. He is considered a born leader who is well suited to run Philadelphia’s offense.

While McNabb was the starter in Philadelphia, the Washington Redskins had a revolving door at quarterback. They used 10 different starters in 11 years and only one made a Pro Bowl – Brad Johnson in 1999. Washington won only two playoff games during that time.

So, McNabb brings stability and a strong pedigree to a critical position. “I think it’s more psychological for the team, because everybody knows what he’s done,” Mike Sellers, the Washington full-back, said.

McNabb’s success in Philadelphia is tarnished somewhat by…

Of course, he needs to save the Raiders first.

It took two preseason games for Jason Campbell to stop feeling like the deposed quarterback of the Washington Redskins and to begin feeling like the rightful quarterback of the Oakland Raiders for the 2010 NFL football season.

The Oakland Raiders acquired quarterback Jason Campbell from the Washington Redskins for a 4th round draft pick in 2012. An while Campbell may be an upgrade for the struggling Raiders franchise, the expectations and hopes should be kept under control in Oakland because Jason Campbell is far from the savior that will save the bay area franchise.

“It was weird when I first got here,” Jason Campbell said late Saturday night, standing in a rapidly emptying visitor’s locker room at Soldier Field after he made his second preseason start for the Raiders. “But as months have gone by, it’s kind of like getting farther away now. Last week, the first time being in a different uniform playing a game just felt different. But this week, it was like, ‘Okay, you got that first game out of the way. Now let’s turn to the second game”.

Campbell’s five-year tenure with the Redskins was all about change. He endured new head coaches, offensive coordinators and offensive systems. When the Redskins – under another new coach, Mike Shanahan, and a new general manager, Bruce Allen – stopped believing that the former first-round draft choice was the answer for them at quarterback, the biggest change of all came when Campbell was traded to the Raiders in April.

The Redskins’ new regime had traded for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, making Campbell’s…

Yep, nobody has… YET.

For the second-consecutive year, Terrell Owens, the notorious wide receiver, is on the market as he remains unsigned with only a couple of months before the 2010 NFL football season begins but according to agent Drew Rosenhaus that will definitely change.

Rosenhaus said that Terrell Owens, who played for the Buffalo Bills last season, will have a new team “within the next few weeks.”

He added that five teams were interested in Owens. However, the San Diego Chargers aren’t one of them, despite Vincent Jackson being suspended three games by the NFL and threatening to hold out over his contact situation. “We’re all set right now with our receivers,” general manager A.J. Smith said in an interview.

The Seattle Seahawks are also out of the picture. “No, you know, I go way back with T.O.,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “I was there [as an assistant coach] when he showed up with the 49ers when he was a rookie and nobody knew he had any initials or anything. And I really liked Terrell. But we won’t be able to do that this time around. I think at our time in our program development, we’re going to continue to work with the guys that we’ve got and go in a different direction than that. We’re really looking to get the young guys going as much as we can.”

Owens said recently that he believed teams are swayed by the perception he’s a troublemaker. It’s a perception he believes he disproved with his agreeable behavior in Buffalo during a disappointing season in 2009.

“There were a number of times where prior I probably would…”

Chemistry, perhaps that’s the key to winning a Super Bowl.

Or is it defense? A hot shot quarterback with reliable receivers? The wildcat? Those are just some of the questions NFL teams are trying to answer as they prepare for the 2010 NFL football season in a few months.

That’s probably why some of these teams are signing names here and there to get that perfect combination they are hoping will win them the Super Bowl. The Arizona Cardinals, for instance, have scheduled a visit with Chargers quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, a restricted free agent, as they explore adding depth as well as potential competition for Matt Leinart for that QB spot.

If the Cardinals sign Whitehurst and the Chargers decline to match the offer, Arizona would owe San Diego a third-round draft pick, which is the qualifying contract tender that was used on the quarterback, who was a third-round choice in 2006. That tender is worth $1,176,000 for the 2010 season.

The Cardinals have two third-round draft choices next month, having acquired Baltimore’s third- and fourth-round picks in a deal that sent wide receiver Anquan Boldin to the Ravens.

Leinart is the only quarterback currently under contract on the Cardinals’ roster.

On the other hand, New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says the club has agreed to re-sign reserve defensive back Leigh Torrence to a one-year contract.

Torrence has been with the Saints since being claimed off waivers in…

At least that’s what Eagles coach Andy Reid feels.

Yes, Kevin Kolb will be starting for the Philadelphia Eagles once the 2010 NFL football season gets here. That’s right, Kolb will finally get the opportunity to show Eagles fans why their team drafted him three years ago.

And as far as Kevin Kolb is concerned, he’s ready for the challenge ahead. Andy Reid has already talked about how much confidence he has in Kolb and the command his young quarterback has over the Philadelphia Eagles offense. Kolb feels it’s his time to show the rest of the world that he is a star in the NFL.

”Everything I’ve done in my life has led to this,” Kevin Kolb said. ”I’m ready to roll and lead this team.”

”I didn’t even blink when Andy told me. I really didn’t,” Kolb said, referring to him being promoted to the starting role. ”I’m excited about it. I’m sure it will have a little drama, but it will be a fun ride. I truly have that outlook on it. I think this team will surprise some people.”

”I trusted the organization, I trusted Andy to get me here one day,” Kolb added. ”The times last year when I started that I felt I was ready, but the team wasn’t ready, maybe the city wasn’t ready. I knew Andy would put me in the situation to be the starter.”

Of course, you can’t blame some people who feel Kolb shouldn’t be…

WOW. Now that could be the biggest deal made in the NFL for quite a while.

Looks like the Philadelphia Eagles will have a brand new look for the 2010 NFL football season with the departure of the two huge pieces that ran the team for the past few years. In case you haven’t heard, the team parted ways with star running back Brian Westbrook, and now, just a few hours ago, they sent star quarterback Donovan McNabb to Washington.

You read it, Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins for a pair of draft picks Sunday night. Football fans saw this coming a mile away but McNabb and the entire Eagles organization denied it, sort of.

With McNabb now in D.C., that should ”hopefully” give the Washington Redskins a solid threat at the QB spot. Something Jason Campbell failed at, miserably, the last couple of seasons.

As for the Philadelphia Eagles, I have no idea why they thought trading McNabb away was the right way to go in their quest for a Super Bowl championship. Sure, McNabb is probably in the twilight of his career but c’mon, the guy is still a whole lot better than most guys in the NFL.

”Donovan McNabb was more than a franchise quarterback for this team,” Eagles…

They shouldn’t, but they sure are heavily talking about it these days.

The Philadelphia Eagles have a lot of things to decide on before starting the 2010 NFL football season. One of which is whether they will trade quarterback Donovan McNabb. As rumors begin to circulate regarding the future of McNabb, the Eagles have been reluctant to do any moves for now.

Donovan McNabb has been the heart and soul of the Philadelphia Eagles for years. McNabb has proven to be a solid NFL quarterback but has never won the ”Big One” despite being in NFC championship games five times including a consistent four-year run from 2001 to 2004.

While Donovan McNabb has shown above-average statistics, he has no Super Bowl wins and has only won the NFC championship game once in those five attempts. This lack of success has caused controversy among Philadelphia football fans and across the NFL.

McNabb is certainly no stranger to controversy. When he was selected with the second pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, Philadelphia fans were disappointed because they wanted University of Texas running back Rickey Williams.

In 2003, McNabb was the subject of controversial comments made by…

Like Tomlinson, Westbrook has began looking for teams to play for.

With the 2010 NFL football season still more than a couple of months away, guys like Tomlinson and Westbrook have more than enough time to find a new place to call home where they try to salvage what’s left of their playing career.

In case you haven’t heard, the Philadelphia Eagles decided to part ways with their all-time leading rusher by releasing Brian Westbrook a few weeks ago. Westbrook, who has a history of injuries, missed eight games in 2009 after suffering ankle injuries and two concussions.

In his eight-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles, he never played a full season. This seems to be part of the reason why Philadelphia didn’t want to bring him back in 2010. He was also due to make $7.25 million.

Now that he’s a free agent, Westbrook may have to accept the fact that he will most likely be signed by a team for a limited role as a no.2 (or even no.3) running back. Here are just some teams that may consider signing Westbrook now that he is no longer with the Eagles.

The Minnesota Vikings may be a good choice for Westbrook since…

My my, teams are really letting some once great running backs go these last couple of days huh?

Brian Westbrook won’t be playing for them Eagles no more once the 2010 NFL football season gets here. Yes, just like LaDainian Tomlinson not playing for them Chargers anymore. You see, after two cases of concussions last season, the Eagles finally let him go, stirring up some rumors that he may just call it quits and walk away from football.

However, Brian Westbrook claims that is simply not the case. ”My plan is not to retire. My plan is to continue to play football,” he said in an interview with a local radio station in Philly. ”There’s 32 teams out there. Hopefully I’ll have an opportunity to go and play with another team.”

Yes, after two concussions that kept him out for a good portion of Philly’s last campaign in the NFL, Westbrook feels he can still play football and bang heads with guys like Jared Allen and Patrick Willis. And in case you’re wondering, no, he doesn’t have a death wish.

Westbrook, who thanked Philadelphia Eagles fans and coach Andy Reid for all their support, said his agent has already heard from three or four teams about his availability for 2010. Of course, we don’t know if those three or four teams play in the NFL. Hell, he may end up playing for some team in Canada for all we know.

Westbrook also said that he understood why the Eagles…

Can the Cowboys beat a very good NFC East rival for the second straight week?

That is what the Dallas Cowboys need to do if they have hopes of reaching the divisional round of the 2010 NFL playoffs.

The Dallas Cowboys already held the Philadelphia Eagles scoreless in their last meeting last Sunday. Yes, the Eagles were outplayed in just about every phase of the game in Sunday’s 24-0 loss to the Cowboys that cost them a first-round bye and the NFC East title.

The Philadelphia Eagles offense was shut out for the first time since 2005 and their defense couldn’t get off the field against a Cowboys team that piled up 474 total yards, including 179 on the ground.

”They played better than we played,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. ”They coached better than we coached. You get back to business and you do it in a very matter-of-fact way. If you get caught up in all the what ifs and this and that, then you’re making a mistake.”

”We don’t have time for that. It’s a hurried-up week and you have to get right back on the horse and figure out how to not get bucked off again.”

Can the Cowboys beat Donovan McNabb and the rest of the Eagles for the second straight week? Well, if you’re a Cowboys fan, you would be happy to know that the Eagles lost both regular-season meetings with the Cowboys. The first one, a 20-16 defeat in early November, was considerably closer than Sunday’s rout.

History isn’t on the Eagles’ side either, since 1970…
