Eagles' McNabb headed to Vikings?
By Mark J. Miller


The Minnesota Vikings, fresh from its painful loss in the NFC Championship Game last Sunday, is supposedly thinking about adding another big-name quarterback to its roster in case Brett Favre(notes) decides to finally retire and then decides again to stay retired, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
The word is that the team is considering trying to snag the Philadelphia Eagles' Donovan McNabb(notes), who took his team to the Super Bowl once in his 11 years in Philly and supposedly was such a nervous wreck during the game that he kind of fell apart.

McNabb has a year left on his deal and the Eagles are apparently prepared to deal him or backup Kevin Kolb(notes) this off-season. McNabb grew up in Chicago so playing for Minnesota would bring him closer to his roots and he's old pals with Vikings coach Brad Childress, who was his quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for a time in Philly.

Crazier things have happened.

McNabb says he's glad to hear Eagles coach Reid wants him back next season


FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Even wearing his familiar No. 5, Donovan McNabb looked a little different Wednesday in an NFC Pro Bowl jersey.

"I look good in blue, don't I?" he said.

McNabb wasn't dropping a hint about changing uniforms. He said he was happy to hear Philadelphia coach Andy Reid wants him back in Eagles green next season.

"I don't want to be anywhere else but Philly," McNabb said following the first practice for Sunday's Pro Bowl. "I don't believe in starting somewhere and going somewhere else to finish your career. I believe in starting somewhere and finishing what you've started."

There was speculation about McNabb's future after he struggled in consecutive losses to Dallas to end the season. The second defeat came in an NFC wild-card playoff game, and fans in Philly took losing the way they always do: badly.

"When you're playing in Philadelphia, obviously there's up and there's downs," McNabb said. "Am I mad at them for responding that way? No. We were upset as well. In my 11 years, do I think we should have won a Super Bowl? Absolutely. Am I upset that we didn't compete better in the last two games and put ourselves in a better position this year? Absolutely. That's what drives me going into the offseason to try to correct that."

Reid said McNabb will be back for a 12th season in Philadelphia. The quarterback had the third-highest passer rating of his career in 2009 and made the Pro Bowl for the fifth time. He has one year left on his contract.

McNabb has led the Eagles to five NFC championship games — going 1-4 — and one Super Bowl defeat. He said they're close to being a title-caliber team.

"I don't think we're far off at all," he said. "It's a couple of players away. ...

"My goal is to win a Super Bowl and bring it back to Philadelphia. We have given them some great years. We just haven't been able to finish. I think good things are to happen pretty soon."

The real fate of the Vikings will be announced next week. According to an anonymous source close to owner Zigi Wilf, the hope that a Vikings Super Bowl victory would inspire the Twin Cities and the State of Minnesota to build the team a new stadium fizzled. With that possibility gone, Wilf has convinced the NFL to approve the first overseas expansion team and has already completed negotiations with the Phillipines to sponsor the Vikings. Following the move, they will be known as the MANILA FOLDERS.
