Can We All Finally Agree Donovan Needs To Burn In Hell (even you phreak)

[SD]

Caplan was on CSN and said the Skins tried to move Haynesworth in the deal but the Eagles turned them down.

[mpmcgraw]

that would have been hilarious considering Reid just called out Asante on needing to play harder

[Mad-Lad]

After seeing the replay of the Eagles/Broncos game last year they showed the conversation between Celek, Kolb, and Desean (it may have been Avant).  The discussion revolved around whether or not Champ was the guy who was burned on the TD.  Needless to say, the camaraderie shown when Kolb says "You spun him like a top!" clearly illustrated they are growing together and that's more than I've seen from Nabbs over the last few years.

That being said, I'm pissed he was traded to the Skins.

Swell.  Can't wait for all the talking heads to go on and on the next few days about how the city never embraced DMac, booed on draft day, under appreciated, blah, blah, blah. 

[QB Eagles]

Clayton says the Eagles targeted the Vikings, Cards, and 49ers for McNabb, but they weren't willing to make the trade.

[Seabiscuit36]

Shefter is saying Mcnabb refused a trade to the Raiders

[rjs246]

The years of mocking that the douches on ES spouted about McNabb is really making this all worth while for me... well that and the draft picks. Oh and the fact that I no longer have the option of being a Hoyda ass bitch and 'rooting' for a former Eagle that I had mixed feelings about. No more mixed feelings. Just hate. The way god intended.

[Seabiscuit36]

LOL at Campbell

Thanks for the great memories 5. He did more for this team than most of you seem to remember, mostly with little to no talent on offense. While the trade makes more sense now and the team is in rebuilding mode, I still can't get excited until the monster of Andy Reid is gone. IMO, the great young talent we have now is going to have the next 3 years wasted on stupid, mindless, bad decisions by a fundamentally retarded coach. Just like the entire career of McNabb to date. Shipping him to the farging taterskins?!? Scratching head...

I think everyone (even igy) appreciates what he did for the team on the field during his time here, it was just time to move on and everyone knows it.

In addition to Haynesworth being offered, they supposedly offered Landry too. Thank God the Eagles said no, hes terrible.

taterskins offered Albert Haynesworth to the Eagles
Posted by Mike Florio on April 5, 2010 8:03 AM ET
As mentioned in the 10-pack we pounded out last night for SportingNews.com and by Rosenthal several hours earlier, the taterskins dangled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth as part of the trade talk that culminated in the Donovan McNabb deal.

We've heard that safety LaRon Landry's name also came up during the discussions.

Adam Caplan of Scout.com (via Sheil Kapadia of Philly.com) has likewise reported that Haynesworth was offered to the Eagles.  We heard in the wake of the deal that the Eagles had no interest in adding Haynesworth to the team.

Bottom line?  The new regime in D.C. definitely seems to be souring on the crown jewel of last year's free-agent class.

the taterskins - 

nice move by the dmac camp to make this happen.
