Although it has been rumored for quite a while that the St. Louis Rams are planning to acquire quarterback Michael Vick from the Philadelphia Eagles, the Rams themselves are considering to use first overall pick to draft some standout quarterback from the draft.
According to Rams Coach Steve Spagnuolo, the Rams have not had any conversations with the Eagles about acquiring Vick as they are giving more and more consideration to drafting Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford, assuming his injured right shoulder checks out favorably and he throws well at his pro day. They can also chose to take Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh with the first overall pick. So there is only very small chance that Vick would put on Rams jersey for 2010 season.
Having a different opinion from the coach, Rams running back Steven Jackson considers it is better for the Rams to trade the first overall pick to get more second-rounder or third-round picks as that would bring more choices to the organization that is in need of big improvements.

QB McNabb is popular in NFL now
It has been reported that the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is a hot pursuit in NFL now as many teams have contacted the Eagles to find out whether they have chance to get McNabb to their teams. Actually all the three quarterbacks on Eagles’ roster are having their own pursuers respectively. According to reports, backup Kevin Kolb has several and Michael Vick has three.
It is supposed that the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns are among the teams that are asking about McNabb. And it is also supposed that they are just asking as it is time for teams to see what’s going to be available this offseason.
As the Eagles head coach Andy Reid has insisted, McNabb will remain the starting quarterback in No. 5 Eagles jersey next season and finish the last year of his current contract with the team. But it has been guessed at least one of the three quarterbacks will be traded before the 2010 season begins.

Eagles QB McNabb wishes Vick a starting job, somewhere else
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb hopes his teammate Michael Vick could get a starting job in a new team as the quarterback wearing No. 7 NFL jerseys deserves an opportunity to start.
"I don’t know what particular team," McNabb said. "I just hope he has an opportunity to be a starter for another team. I think he definitely deserves that, and he has done a great job of getting himself together and preparing himself for this opportunity. And I think he is going to flourish in it."
To retain Vick, the Eagles will have to pay him a $1.25 million roster bonus on March 5. And it seems that they are unwilling to pay so much for a player who did not contribute much during the past season. McNabb’s wish appears to indicate that Vick will eventually leave Philadelphia. A popular guess for Vick’s next team is the St. Louis Rams, who need quarterback help and some kind of stimulating factor that may increase tickets sale after the team went 6-42 over the past three seasons.

Eagles will trade one of their quarterbacks in offseason?
At first rumors said that Donovan McNabb was to leave the Eagles either by being traded or retiring, then it was said that McNabb or Michael Vick could be traded, and now the latest guess is about McNabb and Kevin Kolb. But one thing seemed for sure: the Eagles will anyway trade one of their quarterbacks to get some defensive help.
McNabb only has one more year left on his contract and it seems that he's done basically everything that he can do in Philadelphia over the last 11 seasons. Although Head Coach Andy Reid said that he expected McNabb to be back with the Eagles, someone suspected that he said that only to drive up the veteran’s trade value.
The other two suspects just have the same chance as McNabb in getting traded. Vick is having only a one-year, $1.6 million contract with a one-year team option exceeding $5 million, and Kolb is also having only one year left on his contract. Who of the three is going to take off his Eagles jersey or will another name be added to the suspects list? Who knows!

Jets DT Jenkins would like to see Vick playing in final exhibition
The New York Jets defensive tackle Kris Jenkins said on Tuesday that he was happy to see the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick playing again on the field, in the teams’ preseason finale Thursday night.
“I’m kind of rooting for him because I hope he does realize that he does have a second chance and I’m hoping that he does prove everybody wrong,” Jenkins said Tuesday. “I’m hoping that he does show everybody what he’s capable of. I’ve known and seen him on and off the field and I definitely think he’s a good person at heart.”
The background is that Jenkins aced Vick several times when he was with the Carolina Panthers and Vick was with the Atlanta Falcons. Playing against each other again really sounded dramatic. Jenkins would not play as much as Vick on Thursday, so he would be glad to have time to spectate a little.

Michael Vick’s bankruptcy plan got approved Thursday
On Thursday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro approved Michael Vick’s $20M bankruptcy plan. The Judge ordered Vick to retain a financial planner as a condition of approval.
The plan was supported overwhelmingly by a ballot of creditors and by their representatives in court. It hinges on Vick liquidating an estimated $9 million in assets, including houses, boats and high-end sport utility vehicles and future NFL earnings. However, the quarterback does not have to pay creditors during his first year with the Eagles. He could pay creditors the $20M within six years.
“I’m happy it’s over. I can move on with my life,” said Vick, who was beaming as he left the courthouse. “I think my lawyers did a great job. I commend the judge. I commend the creditors’ committee, everybody. We finally got it all together. I’m just happy we can move forward.”
Vick left the courthouse in a hurry afterwards to prepare for his Eagles debut later in the night.
