Several teams interested in Kevin Kolb
Just one day after the Philadelphia Eagles named Michael Vick as their starter, several teams have already called the Eagles about Kevin Kolb. With so many teams searching for answers at quarterback, Kolb could definitely fit in well somewhere else as a
starter. Some teams that would immediately come to mind are Buffalo, Cleveland and Oakland. An Eagles team source has confirmed that there is interest from other teams in trading for Kolb.
Eagles’ coach Andy Reid has said that he wants Kolb on the team. Reid was asked if Kolb would still be with the Eagles after the October 19th trade deadline, but avoided the question.
"Listen, I can't predict anything down that far, nobody in this league can do that," said Reid.
At this point though, Reid cannot be taken at his word. Just two days ago Reid was saying that Kolb would be the Eagles’ starter for the rest of the season. Just 24 hours later he changed his mind and went with the hot hand in Vick. Vick has played well
in his six quarters of action, almost rallying the Eagles to a win over Green Bay in week one and beating the Detroit Lions 35-32 last weekend. Vick looks just as athletic as he did early in his career and he is a better pocket passer than he ever was.
How quickly things change in the NFL. Just a few weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles had nothing but praise for Kevin Kolb and were excited to have him as their starter for the season. Now Kolb’s future is uncertain and while he feels he will be a starter
in this league, it may no longer be with the Eagles.
Kolb has to be upset with the news after the organization claiming they had so much faith in him. Due to Kolb’s professional attitude, he won’t pull any fits, but any competitor would be disappointed. Kolb is feeling pretty disappointed himself and he wants
a starting job back. With so much money invested in him, it’s hard to imagine the Eagles hanging on to him if he’s sitting on the bench another season. Kolb will be a starter in this league but it’s probably going to have to be elsewhere.
