Source: No truth to Kolb/Browns report
Jeff McLane
It seems the Kevin Kolb trade rumors have begun circulating.
The first: A report that the Cleveland Browns contacted the Eagles Tuesday night about acquiring the now-backup quarterback to Michael Vick.
Not true "whatsoever," said a source close to the situation.
Earlier Wednesday morning, Eagles coach Andy Reid could not defintively say that Kolb would not be traded by the Oct. 19 trade deadline.
However, asked if he would listed to trade offers for the 26-year-old, Reid said, "No, I want Kevin Kolb on this football team."
A day earlier, Reid said that Kolb had not asked for a trade. Kolb was asked Wednesday about the possibility of playing for another team.
"Right now I'm focused on, 'I have to be this way,'" he said. "I have to focus on, 'What if I have to go in against Jacksonville.'"
He did seem to leave the door open for a team change with this answer to a question about Reid's loyalty:
"So far to this point he's done what's best for my career," Kolb said. "I trust him and I think this will work out the way it's supposed to."
Hmm...the Eagles would still need another QB. Kafka doesn't appear to be ready to even be no. 2— Mabus
A bit of directed toward that team in north Florida would be nice. Any time now.— mccloudmj- Trade the Browns for what???— m82492
- Chris Gocong knowing Reid >_<— UKEagle
- "It seems the Kevin Kolb draft rumors have begun circulating." Draft rumors? ""Right now I'm focused on, 'I have to be this way,'" Reid said. "I have to focus on, 'What if I have to go in against Jacksonville.'" What?
— P Even - Kolb for Sheldon Brown, straight up— iamkingdunlap
- Andy Reid is just buying time. He's talking to the Browns. Maybe we can get a 5th round pick for Kolb if we're lucky. Maybe just to get rid of his salary. We'll probably get nothing and need to pick up part of his salary.— MikeP
- trade kolb (get an O-lineman)- sign garcia - mentor kafka - move on— despy22nd
- kk's going to the vikings book it......ex-eagle wolf.— wolf 4
- Rumors during the draft had Cleveland (remember Tom Heckert is their GM) pursuing Kolb. They probably would have given up their #1 pick for him if he was the QB the Eagles wanted to trade. They settled for a stopgap QB (Delhomme) instead. They would be a good trade partner for the Eagles. The only problem is the likely lower price they would have to pay since Kolb's poor play and demotion. I say he stays.— Rick Wise Guy
- I'm glad those draft rumors aren't true. God forbid you let this group draft in the middle of a season. Also, at least he didn't list to trade offers. If he was listing to trade offers, how would he have the time to listen to trade offers.— HandNik
see no point in letting kolb go now. he is a decent back up. he knows the system. the number 2 spot has his name written all over it. plus he's use to it. go birds- Jeff Garcia, paging Jeff Garcia— horhey
Comment removed.- Mr. McLane, were you drunk when you wrote this article? Draft Rumors? Listed to offers? Geez man, you are an amatuer...— EaglesBleedMoney
