Vick will stay in Philly. Look for Kolb to get traded.

The better question is:
Where does Donovan McNabb end up?

Told you :tongue1: KUDOS to FaviaFreak for getting the franchise tag! I didn't even think of that.

The Philadelphia Eagles will make it official next month and place their franchise tag on quarterback Michael Vick, a league source has confirmed.

The move will prevent Vick from leaving Philadelphia this offseason and ensure he's tied to the Eagles for the 2011 season.

Vick was selected to start the Pro Bowl, his fourth trip to Hawaii in eight seasons. He set career highs in yards passing (3,018), touchdowns passing (21), touchdowns rushing (9), completion percentage (62.6) and passer rating (100.2). The Eagles (10-7) were 8-3 in games he started and finished.

What's just as significant about the move is that, by tagging Vick, the Eagles then will entertain offers for backup Kevin Kolb, who is sure to generate more interest this offseason than any other available quarterback once there is a new collective bargaing agreement.

Franchising Vick will give the Eagles contractual control of two quality quarterbacks, one of whom they will be able to shop. Kolb still is under contract for 2011 at the cap-friendly price of $1.4 million, making him an even more desirable commodity.

Multiple teams coveted Kolb last offseason. Kolb started the 2011 season as the Eagles' starting quarterback but was replaced by Vick after suffering a concussion in the season opener.

Kolb said after the season that he wants "to be starting somewhere" in 2011.

Vick made $5.25 million in 2010 but would make an estimated $20 million -- the average salary for the five highest-paid quarterbacks in the league -- if he is designated the Eagles' franchise player.

As a "reorganized debtor," Vick's income will be distributed to his family and his creditors in accordance with a court-approved schedule. As his income increases, he pays more of it to the creditors.

Eagles ditching QB Kolb?

By Mark J. Miller
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid told reporters at the end of the season that he envisioned having both Michael Vick(notes) and Kevin Kolb(notes) back to play quarterback for the Birds next season. But word was being passed around at the Senior Bowl this weekend that Kolb is on the trading block, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The paper has it that the team would like a second-round draft pick or a late first-rounder for the 26-year-old Texas native.
Kolb, who is in the last year of his contract, was a late second-round pick in 2007 out of the University of Houston. Since then, he's gone 11-14 with 2,082 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He also fumbled the ball five times in his seven appearances last season.

I didn't make any stupid posts, I posted my opinion and what I thought might happen. This thread is also from January and I haven't posted on it since. And you agree with me and then after all the trading is done you come back and throw an insult. Learn to form your own opinion and stop following everyone elses.

Learn to read, you said none of that. It is written in the posts. Who are you trying to kid and there you go hurling insults. Just shows how stupid and childish you are. Get a life and keep to your hockey.
