A trade seems likely to happen between the Philadelphia Eagles and the St. Louis Rams on quarterback Donovan McNabb, who could become a starter for the Rams instead of a backup with the Eagles if the trade succeeds.
According to reports, the Rams plan to sent their best defensive player, safety O.J. Atogwe, to Philadelphia, along with their 2010 second-round pick (33rd overall in the draft) in exchange for McNabb. Such offer would fill the Eagles’ need of an immediate impact playmaking safety.
As for the Rams, acquiring McNabb would bring them a powerful threatening weapon and improve their rank in the Weak NFC West, especially as the Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner has retired and the San Francisco 49ers are banking much on Alex Smith. With McNabb to put on the Rams jersey and team up with Steven Jackson, the Rams will definitely have a much better offensive line. Therefore, the deal is really a win-win one and seems very likely to happen soon.

DT Carriker returned to Rams practice field
After hurting his left ankle during a scrimmage Aug. 7, the St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Adam Carriker returned to practice but was working with the third-string defense for now.
The 13th overall selection in 2007 attended drills Monday, then resumed working out with the team Tuesday and Wednesday. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said he may have chance to play Thursday’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but likely not as starter.
“I think Adam will have his work cut out for him, but he’s a good football player,” Spagnuolo said. “Everybody has to earn jobs right now, and in our opinion at the stage we are at - we said this a long time ago - it is the land of opportunity right now.”
By so far, the coach has not decided on the final DT starter. He said he would make mind before the Rams open the regular season Sept. 13 against the Seahawks.
