The Oakland Raiders have emerged as the leading candidate to land quarterback Donovan McNabb in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a report by ESPN.
The Raiders reportedly have been willing to meet the Eagles’ asking price, which is a pick in the top 42 of the 2010 draft. Oakland has a second- round pick that is the 39th overall selection.
The report also said McNabb’s contract, which has one year and $11.2 million left, isn’t a problem, and that the Raiders aren’t concerned that McNabb is due a $6.2 million roster bonus on May 5 or about his possible free agency after the 2010 season.
