The Eagles are at least listening to offers for franchise quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Arizona
The Cardinals say they're not interested in McNabb. Well, they should be.

With McNabb, they'd remain contenders in a watered-down NFC West. Without him, they'll struggle to tread water — and they'll end up wishing they had made the move. Especially if he ends up with another team in the division.

St. Louis
The Rams had been linked to Eagles quarterback Mike Vick. Rumors that they might make a play for another Eagles quarterback heated up last week, only to be shot down by the powers-that-be.

The Rams’ apparently not wanting McNabb makes it more clear that they'll find their quarterback in the draft, presumably at the top.

Although that probably will make Sam Bradford happy, it provides the Eagles with one less viable suitor for McNabb's services.

San Francisco
The 49ers have been trying to prop up and dust off the first pick in the 2005 draft, and they'll continue that effort in 2010, as Alex Smith returns as the starter.

Though Smith hasn't been terrible, McNabb could help push the team to the top of the division. Presumably, the 49ers hope to return to the top of the division.

If they did, they'd send one of their first-round picks to Philly for the guy who instantly would be their best quarterback since Steve Young.

Seattle
The Seahawks have been flirting with making a big splash in the 2010 offseason, but they have consistently stopped short of pulling the trigger.

McNabb would allow them to shake up the division.

The Seahawks could also give Philly something no one else can — a backup quarterback who is schooled in the West Coast offense. Then again, the Eagles could balk at Matt Hasselbeck as part of the offer, given that Hasselbeck could be cut, which would give the Eagles a free and clear shot at him.

Either way, getting McNabb would be precisely the kind of splash that the Seahawks are looking to make.
