The Philadelphia Eagles are entertaining trade offers for all three of their quarterbacks but head coach Andy Reid signalled on Wednesday that a deal was unlikely.
Eagles starting quarterback Donovan McNabb's tenure in Philadelphia has been packed with controversy, intense scrutiny and a constant overwhelming feeling of underachievement given the lack of a championship season.
"I'm listening to things out there," Reid said on the team's website.
"I'm not saying I'm doing anything, I'm just keeping my ears open which we do on every player. So this is no different."
Reid, whose comments were made to reporters at the National Football League owners' meetings in Orlando, did reiterate that McNabb was the team's starting quarterback, Kevin Kolb the backup and Michael Vick the third quarterback.
McNabb is a five-times Pro-Bowl quarterback who has led the Eagles to five NFC Championship games but lost four of them. The closest he has taken them to a Super Bowl win was a 24-21 loss to the New England Patriots in 2005.
He began his career with the team in 1999. Last season he threw for 3,553 yards with 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 14 games.
While Reid said there were offers out there, he seemed to signal that all three would still be with the team when the regular season begins in September.
"Donovan's our number one quarterback and Kevin's our number two and Michael's our number three and that's how I feel ... I can't make it clearer than that," said Reid.
