Rumor: McNabb-to-Raiders Deal Brewing?

PrintAs if you aren't sick of all the Donovan McNabb trade talk already, yet another rumor has surfaced: this one involving a deal between the Eagles and the Raiders. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the current deal being discussed between the two teams would involve McNabb and cornerback Asante Samuel departing for Oakland while cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha would come to Philadelphia. Florio speculates that the Eagles are attempting to replace Samuel with disgruntled cornerback Sheldon Brown, thus stalling the deal.
This is not the first trade buzz involving Oakland today. Earlier this afternoon, Scout.com analyst Chris Stueber speculated that it would take the Raiders' second round draft pick and free safety Michael Huff to land McNabb. Jason La Canfora of NFL Network also listed Oakland as one of the teams in heavy pursuit of the Eagles QB.
While this is all still speculation, one thing is certain: the trade rumors about McNabb are not going to fade away any time soon.
[Update by Bob_Q, 03/25/10 10:48 PM EDT ] For what it's worth, ESPN's Adam Schefter has responded to this particular rumor via his Twitter account, saying that "Eagles would be giving up too much, especially w/ Nnamdi's contract."

Seriously?!?!?!!!
Why on earth would we make this trade? Two pro-bowlers for one, that is just stupid. Is Al Davis running our team too. This would be the dumbest trade we could make unless we get some kind of draft pick as compensation too, there is no way that I would do this trade, we are getting the short end of the stick with this proposal.
That was my first thought when I heard the rumor
Surely, there has to be some sort of draft pick exchange that Florio missed.
I think it's obvious...
that a draft pick is involved. Wouldn’t be a 1st-rounder & perhaps not even a 2nd if it’s sheldon that goes, but there’d have to be a draft pick in it for us as well for that deal to make sense.
bull shit
u do realize asmouhga is the best corner in the nfl .. along with revis .. and a huge upgrade from samuel .. hugeee!!!

This will never happen. McNabb has already said he doesn’t want to go there and won’t sign an extension so if Oakland still made this trade knowing you only get McNabb for a year then they are retarded. Then again they did trade next years first rounder for Richard Seymour.
The Raiders have been trying to trade Asomugha because they just recently realized how bad his contract is. Not sure why the Birds would want to take that on.
This just doesn’t make any sense.
“… if Oakland still made this trade knowing you only get McNabb for a year then they are retarded”
Then I’d say we’re in luck…
I'm not gonna lie to you...
You are the only one.

Getting this from Pro Football Focus:
Asomugha was thrown at 28 times last season. That is less than two times per game. There’s a reason for that.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
McNabb's Chamionship game and Super Bowl career: 129/225, 57.3 completion percentage, 1426 yards, 6.3 YPA, 9 touchdowns, 9 interceptions, 72.9 QB rating, 1-5
imagine Samuel and Asomugha in the same defensive backfield
If Asomugha does get avoided more passes would be thrown to Samuel and that would elad to more picks. And vice verse. Then we can draft a Safety in the draft and develop him with those two guys. aaaaaaah! siiiick
To me the Eagles are like that girlfriend that pisses u off, then u hate her, but the next morning you wake up and remember that thing u love so much about her

It could end up as more picks, or it could missed up on more catches because Samuel bit to early and then missed the tackle and the guy breaks one for a score because we still have no safeties.
I dont get why ppl say we have no safetys
granted we have no superstars liek BDawk. QMikell was an allpro a year ago. and Macho has shown potential, and with one of the best DBacks coaches in the league in Dick Jauron i dont see why he wont develop into that potential. Plus Marlin Jackson who should be a contributor. If we add a top safety prospect through the draft like Taylor Mays we would be more than fine

it doesnt matter wha you see
it matters what Reid and McDermott and Jauron see. If they feel that Macho and Q can be our starters next year and in the future the nwe have safeties

I like Q and all but, that he was not an all pro last year…he made the pro bowl (two different things) and shouldn’t have quite frankly…only because so many other players were electing not to play in the game did he get a spot.
The year before (with Dawk) he was robbed, but they made up for it with the pro bowl last year.
We need a safety.

it says above thought that Samuel will go to the raiders, so people with throw to Sheldon
Eff age, were winning now!
Also
he was only thrown at 14 time the previous season, allowing 5 receptions for 14 total yard yielding one INT.
THis guy is the best, but his contract is HUGE.

Do it.
You would have no idea how happy I would be if this trade happened.
To clarify, I’ve had a man-crush on Nnamdi Asomugha since the start of his career.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Love Asomugha, but he has a God awful contract...
I’m saying this with a straight face – I doubt the Eagles would be interested in Asomugha with his current contract even if the Raiders are willing to hand him over for absolutely nothing.
…much less give up 2 great players to get him.
This rumor is beyond unrealistic.
by JimmyK on Mar 25, 2010 7:16 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I know, right!
The frugal Eagles aren’t going near that dude.
Plus the deal is retarted
Are you sure
that his contract would be as bad as you think it is if he was traded to the Eagles?
The big question is how much of his contract is in bonuses and how much is salary? I’ve been looking for details of his contract and there seems to be conflicting reports all over the place.
It’s my understanding that when a player is traded to another team his bonuses stay on the books for the previous team and counted as a cap hit (which in this case would be zero). While the new team takes on the salaries of the contract.
From people that I’ve talked to and from things that I’ve read, I think this situation wouldn’t be as bad as we think it would be (for either team). The Raiders would get rid of a terrible contract, while the Eagles would get Nnamdi at a “discounted” contract.
I certainly don’t think we make the deal reported above (DM&AS for NA), but I also don’t think trading for Nnamdi isn’t as far-fetched as we think.
In his final year of the contract (2011 season)
His salary will be the franchise tag for a QB, or ~$17 million, whichever is higher. That is a god-awful contract.

Current rumor
is eighth pick in the second round straight up.
"We can't stop here... This is bat country."
What's the consensus with Raiders fans?
Are you guys hoping that the Raiders make a deal for McNabb? And if so, at what price?
We are split
It doesn’t make sense to me since our team is very young, and I want to ride out the current youth movement we have going. I like Bruce Gradkowski, and think he can be a leader.
The Raider fans that want McNabb are sick of the seven year losing streak we have going, and think he can change this immediately. Honestly, our line is so anemic, Peyton Manning would have problems performing behind these guys.
Raider nation seems to be 50/50, as long as the price is low. I think the second round pick straight up would be well received, but the Nnamdi trade would not be.
"We can't stop here... This is bat country."
even if it is samuel or brown
you get two shut down corners and our linebackers still get lit up by witten,
we need a safety
by Get Jackson a better nickname on Mar 25, 2010 7:19 PM EDT reply actions
In all seriousness
This trade makes no sense for the Eagles.
- You take back even more guaranteed money on Nnamdi than with Samuel.
- Nnamdi is almost as old as Samuel and not going to be a building
- No picks
Doesn’t make any sense from the Eagles end but I could the Raiders FO making it even if McNabb didn’t sign an extension before the trade. Hell, nothing the Raiders do at this point would really surprise me unless Davis sold the team.
Agreed
You send a star corner for another star corner and send McNabb for free? It doesn’t make any sense. Send McNabb for Asomugha straight up would be great but no way part with both Samuel and McNabb.
Eh, Asomugha is extremely awesome. I think he’s better than Darrelle Revis.
I am the people's troll :3™
They are both cream of the crop but I think it’s more impressive that Revis allowed only a 37% completion with 111 targets. QB rating againts Revis is a fuckin’ 32. His 6 INT also gets him huge bonus points. If you give me the option to pick just one, right now, Revis is has the edge.
Revis is also on a great defense on a decent team. Asomugha is a star on possibly the worst team in the league which makes him even more impressive
This is the key point I think
Jets have a great D, and a great defensive coach. Raiders have nothing. I’d still take Revis though, but mostly because of age.
14 times the previous season
allowing 5 receptions for 14 total yards… All season. 4 of them were shovel passes at the line.
"We can't stop here... This is bat country."
I can’t believe the Niners haven’t been seriously linked yet. They could win that division without him they could get a first round bye with him.
Why would the niners want him
they have David Carr! Hehe
"We can't stop here... This is bat country."
i completely agree.
i figured the niners were the surest thing out there at the beginning of the offseason.

Speculating, it just makes the most sense to me.
Why would Mcnabb go to Oakland? He said he doesn’t want to go to a perennial loser. Oakland fits that mold. The 49ers have a really good team, the just don’t have a QB. Mcnabb is a really good QB, looking for a new home.
Seems like they should be a good fit together. I don’t know, but I think Mcnabb would sign a deal with them, especially over the Rams, Raiders, and Bills. Ohh Jax too.
Did I mention they have 2 first rounders too? I just don’t see Oakland being a serious spot in contention for Mcnabb.
Eh, I bet if McNabb got to pick any other team in the NFL to go to, the Rams would be second, right after the Vikings.
I am the people's troll :3™
Why, the Rams are terrible
Favre is coming back
lmao
Awesome.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
McNabb's Chamionship game and Super Bowl career: 129/225, 57.3 completion percentage, 1426 yards, 6.3 YPA, 9 touchdowns, 9 interceptions, 72.9 QB rating, 1-5
I still think...
The perfect team for McNabb would be the Bills.
Bills pretty much have no one at QB right now. Then you add the fact that their owner is, what, 90 years old? You would think they’d wanna make some noise before a total overhaul was made.
They have a pretty good D, and a sorta decent offense. Obviously, they have O-line questions, but with the right moves, they can make some noise in the regular season.
Would McNabb be enough to take ’em to the postseason? I doubt it. But getting him would probably help them get closer.
by LegendKnight22 on Mar 25, 2010 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Ok, well he may be perfect for them but he is a better fit in San Fran or Minnesota depending on what Favre does.
True.
They have more weapons and whatnot. But, would the Eagles really deal over McNabb to an NFC team that could seriously hurt our chances next season and even further?

Maybe I’m in denial, but I legitimately believe McNabb will be an Eagle next year.
I am the people's troll :3™
Definitely still denial.
But BGN still loves you. :)

Well, what you have seen that would indicate that? That was my issue in my last post. I just don’t see any signs.
Reid came out last year and said there were offers made on his QBs. He has said that no player is untradeable. Honestly, I can actually see them trading Kolb, but I think that’s less likely due to the fact that the QBs are pretty weak in this draft class.
I am the people's troll :3™
It's a crazy thought, though
Trading Kolb? It’s sounds ridiculous, but then again, why not? We’ll obviously get a 1st round pick. We still have Vick.
Food for thought.
by LegendKnight22 on Mar 25, 2010 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions
I think a lot of these teams with older owners looking for a shot at glory like the Bills and the Raiders see McNabb as their shot. He is a fine quarterback, I know a lot of people want to move on. I hope Kolb is as good, but we are trading a known franchise quarterback. It is exciting though to consider the possibilities of what we can get in return for McNabb.
C'mon guys
This trade would be great. Let’s be real, assante samuel sucks if you take away the ints. He doesnt tackle and played about 20 yards off Miles Austin in the playoffs. Nnamdi Asoghmaga is the second best corner only behind Reevis and not by much. we still get a second round pick to which gives us 3 picks in the first 56. It’s time to give Kolb the keys to the offense before he decides to become a free agent and go elsewhere and then where will we be?

McNabb sucks if you take away the completions, yards and TDs, all he does is throw ints!!!

Agreed on that
Samuel was brought here for interceptions and nothing more or less. Simple as that.
Two words
Al Davis. Who if even if you read the Bay Area papers and guys like Ray Ratto say that Davis still has a very important role on individual player decisions as crazy as it sounds.
Al Davis
Makes ALL of the personnel decisions. The guy does everything, from the draft to personal expenses for the executives. It’s insane, he still runs our team like it’s 1970.

It makes too much sense for the Raiders, why would Al Davis want to improve his team that way? On a sidenote: say what you want about Al Davis but you if you look at his roster, and draft picks, he is the least racist old man I’ve ever seen.
they better stick to trading because they can’t draft at all. JR a bust, McFadden has potential but hasn’t been worth the number 4 overall pick they used and then taking Heyward-Bay over crabtree and maclin.
And Harvin and Nicks. Louis Murphy was their best rookie WR.

I like Sheldon but I’d send McNabb and Sheldon for Asomugha and a high pick. Think about it. Perhaps the best cover man in Asomugha alongside Samuel the best ball hawking cb in the league.
why not have two cvover corners
INTS are so over rated sometimes…how about the other team doesnt catch the ball and ud ont need INTS
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
But they proved they could run when they needed to in the playoffs. The Eagles have proved they can’t run the ball well enough to manage a game if the passing game fails.
turnovers are crucial for our defense
we are soo aggressive
a 3 and out is just as good as an INT
u should know that from watching mcnabb all these years
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Maybe
That is true but how about how Witten and Cooley who tear us apart, even Kevin Boss had his best performance against us. Two cover corners still cant cover a 3 wide 1 TE set.
If this trade does go through
I am sure that Heyward-Bey’s catches would at least double over last year.
I believe he caught 7..
The Eagles WILL redeem themselves in the '10-'11 season, with a win at SuperBowl 45 in Dallas!
9

18
He caught 9 balls last year. I bet my friend who is a diehard Raiders fans after the Eagles-Raiders game that the Eagles would finish with more wins than Bey had catches.
Granted Bey had hamstring problems all year (supposedly because he refuses to condition himself correctly) but still. 9 catches out of a starter WR who was a Top 10 pick?
..He was a starter?!

Damn..
If I was a starting WR on any team I could get more than 9 catches.

Don’t laugh, It’s almost a full catch per game started and he finished the year with over 11 yards per game as well.
Oh man, 11 yards a game.. That's beastly.
I don’t think I could do that.

Nah dude...
That would be a ripoff as well. That 2nd rounder is a must. They would be getting a top 10-12 QB and a top 10 CB while giving up only a 29 yr old top 2 CB that is getting paid 15-17 mil a year for at least the next two seasons . He will be 31 after those two seasons. I would also be content if they gave us Morrison instead of the draft pick. Morrison would give us a stud SLB and we wouldn’t have to spend a high pick on a LB.
nah

His(Asante) lack of situational awareness kills me. Dude always makes plays but then when plays are needed he disappears. If he wouldn’t have wanted to be Deion Sanders, the Pats would have won the SB if he just caught that pick and went out of bounds. Nope, he wanted to be a hero and dropped it like an ass.
Also, when we really need a stop, he refuses to tackle someone. It really bothers me sometimes. I think he is a great playmaker but not a #1 shutdown. I think he is the best of the #2’s in the NFL.
if this happens itll be like the Cliff Lee trade
we lost a great pitcher in Cliff Lee for a better of a pitcher in Halliday. I’d rather have both

You're an idiot.
Asante isn’t holding our D together. He was one of the reasons the tackling was mediocre (at best) last year. He’s good and I love him for his amazing INT skills but.. For Nnamdi Asomugha!? He’s better.

I swear INTs are the most over rated stat. How many INTs has DeAngelo Hall gotten over the years?

LOL! I'm getting a distinct feeling that the Eagles are simply trying to find out
what these QB’s are worth and is it worth carrying all 3 through the year. Also, Andy has to at least check to see what they are worth because the front office is in favor of trading McNabb and Vick, placing pressure on him to at least check to see what’s out there in a deal. Obviously there is a premium on Kolb this year. But teams may actually pay the price for him. I wouldn’t be surprised if #5 is under center in September.

I’m wondering if instead of exercising his option we wouldn’t just sign him long term and give him more guaranteed, then the contract doesn’t look that bad. Assuming of course he’ll sign an extension.
I wouldn’t do this for Zont though he’s 29 Nnamdi is 28 and Sheldon is 31, 2 years at around 30 is a lot then say 24-26
They call me The Professor.
The Eagles would essentially be gaining....... nothing, nada, zero
Stupid trade here, I would just rather keep Mcnabb. Now if the Raiders threw in their 1st and 2nd or 3rd then yes. But that will not happen. Then again, I take it back its the Raiders, anything can happen
eff you we winning anyway
A.I. IS BACKKKKKKK
Asomugha's contract
Asomugha is NOT worth the contract. His contract is a RENTAL.
Asomugha signed a contract in 09 with all of the first two seasons ($28.6m) fully guaranteed. In addition, the contract has a poison pill in it, where in order to keep Asomugha through 2011, the team must pay him either the FRANCHISE SALARY FOR A QUARTERBACK, OR, $16.875M for ONE YEAR, whichever is higher, or he becomes an UFA.
There is no way in hell he is going to willingly restructure and take less money from a team when he is being paid that much money. He’s going to walk from the Raiders and get an even bigger contract from another team.
I was thinking a restructuring might be possible
1. NA is one of those big-picture guys, not a ‘get paid’ type. He might valuethe security of a few extra years for a few less dollars … (tho guaranteed money is hard to forfeit)
2. I’d pay to get out of the Oakland organization
I’d love to land NA. The fact we’re pursuing him & Atogwe inthese “rumors” make me moe optimistic about a satisfactory outcome.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome

Aso contract
Nnamdi is the type of dude that would take a more cap friendly long term deal with a contenting team. The dude is the ultimate teammate, and professional. He’s not the all about the money type player. The dude is starving to win! He would do a longer term deal with the Eagles which will lower the salary cap hit.
That's what I was thinking ...
… last thing I read about him was taking kids on internships or something. Loves football, but loves life more. He sounds like someone you’d let your sister/daughter date.

aso + asante = beast
but overall a turrible trade. but would mcnabb + sheldon = aso and 2nd rounder work???
How about
JaFatass Fumble for McNabb straight up? Haha…
If this trade goes through then the disgruntle Eagle fans that hate McNabb will be happy. If the deal includes Nnamdi, then you guys get the best Man to man shutdown corner in the NFL, but that contract is freaking HUGE! He’s due 14 mil this year and then 16 the following year!
"We can't stop here... This is bat country."
What if...
the Raiders traded their first rounder and Nnamdi for McNabb and Sheldon? Then we’d be getting the better part of the deal even though this would never happen. But it’s worth thinking about. Would you trade McNabb for a first and Sheldon, a top 10 cb, for the no.1/no.2 cb (depending on whether you are on the Darrelle Revis bandwagon) who has a enormous contract? If the Eagles would be willing to pay Nnamdi or he would be willing to restructure his deal, then I would say the majority of you guys would accept. Either way though, Nnamdi and their first for McNabb and Sheldon? I’d take that deal in a heartbeat (even with Nnamdi’s contract).
If I'm goin' to hell, you're coming with me...
Ridiculous
I’d be willing to bet you will not find a single Eagles fan that would turn this offer down. Regardless of the bad contract. McNabb is not worth the 8th overall and Sheldon is not worth Nnamdi. Al Davis would fire himself over that trade.

crazy!
Don’t trade Donovan. He’s got at least 3 or 4 great years left in him. IMO he’s the best and most gifted QB in the league, and we may never see another player like him again. We’ll regret this move if it happens!
I’m a huge McNabb supporter, but that’s crazy talk bro. Great user name though.
I am the people's troll :3™
KOLB
The Eagles chance of winning right now is slim. It would good for the Eagles to hand it over to Kolb, the dude is the real deal. I saw this dude in college before he came out and he was clearly the most impressive qb to me that came out of his draft class. He proved it this year when he got his chance with Mcnabb’s injury. Mcnabb stay out longer on purpose hoping Kolb would fail but Kolb proved him wrong, and opened eyes to all the doubters to why the Eagles used a 2nd round pick on this guy. This is why Donovin will get traded. Get over it, the Eagles QB situation is in good hands.
Adam schecter saying the deal is not good because of Nnamdi’s contract? Man Nnamdi is a model citizen type dude and if the Eagles called him and his agent and suggested doing a long term deal right now and letting the trade go down, he would do it in a heartbeat! Nnamdi loves Oakland and doesn’t owe the organization anything at this point but the chance to show his overrall talent with another good organization which he would love to play for philly with you guys blitzing, big play type of defense.
Trade
At this point the trade isn’t even about Nnamdi or Mcnabb it’s about other players or draft pick each organization is willing to part with. I know that MLB Kirk Morrison is up for trade. Philly good use him? I know RB Michael Bush is tradeable. Philly could use him? I know Safety Michael Huff is tradeable. Philly could use him? Our 2nd round pick is up for trade also for Mcnabb? The contracts would not be problem.
TRADE that should happen
The trade of CB Nnamdi Asomugha, and either MLB Kirk Morrison/RB Michael Bush/ or S Michael Huff for QB Mcnabb & CB Asante Samuel will boosts both teams and make each others draft alot clearer.
Huff sucks...
Why is everyone riding his pole?
I don't know what it is about your face,
[holds up fist]
but I just wanna deliver one of these right in your suck hole.
Mcnabb=Reggie White
It’s time for Mcnabb to do the Reggie White? The love has diminished, and there’s not much more u can do for the organization.
