1st rounder, only cheaper. And the Eales get to finally develop Kolb.
On the other hand, the Skins will have an aging, slower QB who will get in trouble often because of his declining skills and thusly will throw a lot of errant passes. hardy har-har.
Love this Washington trade. Don't love how it helps the Eagles.

The Eagles are young and talented at the skill positions and have the draft picks to continue to fill out that roster. With the 24th, 36th, and 56th picks (just for starters)...they could find some great contributors right away.Woods;3333742 said:For the Eagles, it's just the opposite. Maybe in the short-term they have growing pains with Kolb, but in the longer-term they will benefit - esp as they don't have to deal with McNabb's contract next year.
