Donovan McNabb has a baker’s dozen of possible destinations
Article By mflorio.tsn on 29th March, 2010
Assuming the Eagles trade quarterback Donovan McNabb -- and their silence in the face of rampant rumors suggests they eventually will -- he has more than a few potential new homes.

Thus, if he Browns are serious about improving, they need to be serious about getting McNabb -- even if they already have Delhomme.
Pittsburgh
Though it's still way too early in the Ben Roethlisberger case to justify serious considerations of trading for McNabb, the Steelers need to be considering their alterna...
