According to reports, the Philadelphia Eagles are planning to make the most use of their quarterback Donovan McNabb, who is 34 years old and has been wearing the Eagles jersey for 11 seasons since being drafted as a first-round pick in 1999. Any team who wants to trade for the quarterback will have to get a top-42 draft pick prepared in hand.
After months of saying McNabb would return for another year, Eagles coach Andy Reid acknowledged Wednesday he was listening to offers for McNabb, Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick. And it has been reported that the Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills and the St. Louis Rams are interested in the trade, and each team has two picks in the top 42. However, the Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo made it clear on Thursday that the team has no plan to trade for McNabb at the cost of a high draft pick.
The Raiders have the eighth pick in the first round and the Bills have the ninth. Both of the teams also have second-round picks, with the Raiders being the 39th and the Bills the 41st. It’s unlikely that any team would like to spend a first-round pick on signing McNabb away from the Eagles, but second-round picks would also be accepted by the Eagles if the team offers it with other picks or players. All in all, the Eagles will try to make the most benefit in trading the twelve years veteran, which became expendable after leading the team to two consecutive losses in the final two games last season.

Kentucky DE Jarmon will probably jone Eagles
Former Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon will take part in Eagles' work out this week. He will do so in the hopes of being selected in next month's NFL supplemental draft.
In May, Jarmon admitted that he tested positive for a banned substance and was disqualified for his senior season by the NCAA. He said that a dietary supplement he took contained the banned substance, and he had told to the NFL what the substance is.
If Eagles will draft Jarmon in next month's NFL supplemental draft, they will lose the right of fourth-round pick in the 2010 draft, according to NFL rules. But getting a excellent DE is urgent for the Eagles, who didn't bolster their defensive line through the draft or free agency this offseason. Jarmon is just a good choice. He worked Wildcats for 3 years and recorded 17.5 sacks, third-most in school history. In past two years he had 23.5 tackles for losses and in last season he had six pass breakups.

Eagles RB Westbrook will not running on field in preseason time
Eagles running back Brian Westbrook had surgery on his right ankle on Friday, and the doctor who performed the surgery, Dr. Mark Myerson said that Westbrook will not be ready for preseason play.
"Brian is doing well, he texted us and said he's doing well," trainer Rick Burkholder said. "We feel pretty comfortable that he'll be back by the beginning of the season. Whether he'll be back for training camp or not, it's too early to tell."
Scar tissue and bone fragments were removed from the ankle, so Westbrook will likely rehab wearing a boot. And as it was reported, he may be able to start playing duing the regular season.

Another player got injury in OTAS
Eagles RB Brian Westbrook's surgery already arose anxiety from the fans. On Thursday, another player, the Bears RB Matt Forte missed practices because of MRI.
As we counted, Westbrook and Forte are not the only two who got injuries in OTAS. Some one will recover soon and be able to go through the season, but someone may not be able to play in the season. Injuries and surgeries make the outlook of the coming season full of questions.
