With one high-profile NFC East quarterback by all appearances on the trading block, another high-profile NFC East quarterback can't believe what's happening.

"It's shocking that a guy who's been such an important part of their organization, that they'd want to get rid of him," Eli Manning said of Donovan McNabb, per Reuters (via ESPN.com). "He's had great seasons these last couple of years."

Manning is right, but McNabb is on the wrong side of 30 -- and his replacement is by all appearances ready to roll. Really, this die was cast back in 2007, when the Eagles traded out of round one to the top of round two and picked Kevin Kolb.

Eli may also be wondering whether, at some point, he'll receive similar treatment. Despite that Super Bowl win, Peyton's kid brother hasn't become a clear-cut, top-two NFL quarterback. Eventually, the Giants will have to think about life after Eli.

And when that time comes, the worst thing the Giants can do is focus on the past.

Eli sucks

How so? He's coming off his best season statistically in his career with a bunch of no name receivers and a below average run game, and has a recent SB victory against arguably one of the best teams of all time(07 pats)

anyways, Eagles fans are easily, EASILY the worst fans of ANY team. Hell, Philly sports fans in general. That's not to say that there aren't some cool Philly fans, but the large majority are just scumbags. I hope McNabb goes off and finishes his career on a good note because the Eagles don't deserve a QB like him.

that I can agree with. I've always disliked him ever since the whole "I won't play for the team that is going to draft me #1 overall and give me tons of money" fiasco. He's a tool for doing that.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
