Donovan McNabb to Chicago Bears? Nah.... Just Speculation

Rumors, speculation and whole lot of "what ifs" have been tossed around this past week concerning Donovan McNabb.  ProFootballWeekly kicked it all off at the beginning of the week by speculating that Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb could eventually end up with Chicago sometime in the future.

That article took off like wild fire, and it turned into "trade rumors". Mere speculation around the fact Donovan's from Chicago, his family being there, his manager's from there, his high contract, drafting of Kevin Kolb, and a few statements Donovan McNabb's made in the past has managed to send the rumor mill into full tilt.

Donovan's not going anywhere this year folks, and likely not anywhere next year either - he is committed to the Eagles.  Heck, he even put together his own press conference after the Eagle drafted Kolb.  His contract is until 2011, and it is high, and I wouldn't doubt that after 2008-2009 season there's more talk of trades if Donovan's performance this season and next doesn't get them to be division or super bowl champs.  But there again, speculation and "what ifs".

There's no doubt the Eagles really like what they see in Kevin Kolb.  At this point, he is the likely successor to Donovan - down the line.  There's also no doubt Donovan's been a fall guy, just look at the crap he had to take with prima dona "he who won't be called by his initials" Terrell Owen, and he didn't know too much about the Eagles drafting Kolb.  Definitely can add fuel to the Chicago trade rumors.

Donovan's staying put for now, and to worry about next season or the season after is a little silly at this juncture in time. Now only if we here at EaglesChick can convince Donovan to loose the beard, that'd give us something more worthy to talk about. ;)
