Al has too much wrapped up in JFarcus to ruin the young man, but they will bench him for Bruce if necessary. He’ll be on a short leash.
McNabb will find a suitor, bet is – not the silver & black.
Haters – a couple key turns and the boyz would have been in the playoffs last year. Schedule is better this year…
You bums must be paying attention…lotsa noise from the PETTY section for such a BAD team.
Love it, love the Raiders forever.

A stadium that is half empty, on its best day.
A trend of awful football and losing seasons.
A fan base that dress up like pirates, predisposed to become enraged by laughter after INT’s.
Bad WR’s.
Bad OL.
China Doll RB.
A team used to Lombardi trophies, ‘almost’ won’t be enough.
An awesome, but insane, owner.
Welcome to Oakland.
MAYBE MCNABB SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHAT HE WISHES FOR!!!
Aside from the Napa-based training camp, it doesn’t look like a desirable place for him to go at his stage.

If the lazy-ass Raider players were as determined to succeed as Al Davis is, they would be playoff bound every year. What an Albatross Jamarcus Russell has become. The truth is, in theory, you actually CAN pick DHB 7th overall…IF he is determined to work his ass off to succeed (kinda like Louis Murphy). These punks are merely happy to “make bank”. This new generation of ‘playa’ is ruining the game.

LOL at the dumb Raiders fans that say McNabb isn’t worth Aso straight up, yet criticize Eagles fans for being stupid. When was the last time a top CB was traded for two 1st rounders or even one 1st? Cutler was traded for two 1st last year. Hell, Champ Bailey, one of the greatest CBs ever, was traded to Denver along with a 2nd rounder for Portis. QBs are the most valuable position. Bailey was in his prime at the time too. It just goes to show you that CBs are valued as much.
Now, I don’t think that, that trade will happen, but not because I don’t think McNabb is worth it. I just have a hard time believing that it would take that much to acquire McNabb when there presumably isn’t much of a market for him. Plus, I don’t see the Eagles wanting to add another high priced CB, one that is overpaid. Aso might be great, but not worth what he is getting paid.
Who knows what is really going on though? Everything is just rumors. Who knows if there really is a market for McNabb or not? Who knows if the Eagles are really entertaining the idea of trading McNabb? We won’t know until it happens, and if he does end up going to the Raiders for Aso and a 2nd……. I would have to assume that there was a market big enough for McNabb to make the Raiders want to give that up for him. Then again, Al Davis is an idiot.

I would so much love for the Eagles to trade McNabb for Aso and a 2nd rounder, but I don’t see that happening. Not that I don’t think Al Davis is an idiot and doesn’t make bad moves, but I don’t see the market being that great for McNabb where they would even have to sacrifice that.
Another problem with this is, I know the Eagles, and I know that they already have a top tier/high priced CB is Samuel, I can’t see them paying another hefty salary to another CB, even one as great as Aso, but who knows. If Aso is a part of it, the Raiders would most likely be getting back either Samuel or Brown. I would think Samuel because he has the bigger contract, but Brown wants a new deal and he is older. I much rather they get rid of Brown, but this is all just circumstantial thinking. I think the deal is more about what picks will be involved. I just really can’t see Aso being moved.

JSpic — the eagles will never make a deal with oakland that involves mcnabb and mcnabb would never want to go there. it wont happen. therefore i will be correct in the end no matter how assinine the comment was muahahahhaa.
Pleasseee anything for McNabb would be worth it

So the Raiders can trade for McNabb and not worry about his contract expiring after the 2010 season because they can franchise tag him for $20ish million in 2011.
OK … so after the 2010 season, the Raiders tag 35 year old McNabb and let 31-year-old Richard Seymour walk – and be without their 2011 1st round pick as his 2-year rental cost.
Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Typical Raiders move that will set back the franchise for years. For that reason, it’s bound to happen.

The persecution of the Raiders is tiresome.
The Raiders are one QB away from the playoffs.
Mc Nabb is perfect for this team.

I love it. There is a RUMOR #21 is involved. Everyone says that is not the case. But yet you all are still stuck on it. Yes the Raiders should get McNabb but he is not worth #21 in a straight a crossed trade. Plus big Al loves CB’s and really loves ones that he find and turns into the best CB in the game!!

lmao @ Asomugha AND a 2nd round pick from the Raiders for only McNabb. Eagle fans truly are the dumbest in the league. Aso has way more value and upside than McNabb has at this point. Maybe in 2004, you would have an argument but not today.

I am an Eagles fan. The Raiders have talent, tons of talent. With Mcnabb, they will win around 9 games. They might even make the playoffs with him. For the Raiders, they must do the deal. For the Eagles, they need to get Asomugha and the Raiders 2nd round pick. QB’s aren’t cheap especially good ones.

REPORT???? shouldn’t it say OPINION
The next credible “REPORT” will be from my 12 yr old neighbor who just used McNabb as QB on the Raiders and they beat Saints in the super bowl so, it must be a good fit.
Keep up the steller reporting Florio!

“McNabb will never play for Oakland”
+1 for most assinine comment. Just like Seymout and Nnamdi and Lechler, and Jano, and so on. Cable will be fired, charged etc.
Blinded by the hate, wrapped up like a dooosch into the runner on the night.
Make sure and come back to eat crow.

If Oakland needs to rebuild it’s O line, count on McNabb to add some frantic dancing to his air guitar routine. He’ll dance while open receivers wildly wave their arms down field and then get sacked. I predict he will lead the league in sacks behind a lousy offensive line. Enjoy the 2010 season, Raiduhs fans.

The logic your missing is that McNabb does not want to play for a loser-Raiders have NO playmakers on offense, and only a few on defense.
===============
The logic you’re missing is that McNabb doesn’t have a no trade clause and is in a contract year. He has no choice but to go wherever Philly sends him and play his ass off if he ever wants to see another big contract.

This story has a little less credibility if you read Schefter’s tweets as to why he thinks this is true. He cites the fact that both McNabb and Al Davis went to Syracuse?
WTF? I don’t think McNabb and Davis were exactly classmates. When did Davis go to Syracuse, 1939? Is Oakland’s roster loaded with Syracuse grads?
His other reason is that McNabb is “distant cousins” with the new Raiders OC. The more I read Schefter, the more I think he should have stayed at NFL network, where he wasn’t as exposed as he is now. He’s really starting to sound like something of a wing nut.

As a Chiefs fan I hope it’s all talk. Doesn’t make sense for the Faiders to do anything to actually improve their team.

Just last week, the Vikings were his clear favorite choice. Now it’s the Raiders, who’s next? Browns? Panthers? Seahawks maybe? Can we get an over/under on SF?
Just another example of how this site and journalistic integrity don’t mix. If you throw enough bullsh*t at the wall, some of it will eventually stick. The next time the header “Report:” is followed by a factual statement, it will be the first time in years.

If the Raiders do get McNabb, they will not have to give up Nnamdi. McNabb is simply just not worth that much, no matter who is involved in the trade. If they can get McNabb for something like a 3rd rounder, they should…anything more will really hamper their draft (development of both lines/ILB)
If they do end up getting McNabb, you better believe they are taking an OT with the 8th pick. Lets just hope its not Bruce Campbell.

As an Eagles fan i would love:
McNabb & Asante for Nnamdi & the 2nd or 3rd rd. pick

This would be a great move for both teams. The Raiders have a decent team when they show up, just no production from QB. The Eagles would drop a bit at QB but can make it up with Kolb/Vick, and add an awesome CB. This move makes way too much sense and would benefit the Raiders a ton, which leads me to believe they probably won’t do it lol.

Anyone who says “I think that Al Davis would ___________________” and fills in _______________ with a rationale solution should know better.
That said, I am all for them overpaying for McNabb.
