Hawks Hot for QBs

The Hawks haven’t made any big splashes this offseason, but it’s not for a lack of trying. Rumors are that Pete Carroll wants to win now and that Seattle has been pushing hard for Philadelphia to trade Donovan McNabb or Kevin Kolb.

Kolb isn’t going anywhere. He’s the Eagles’ quarterback of the future, and the team really likes him. McNabb, on the other hand, is standing in his way, getting up in years and could be dealt this offseason.

So Pete wants to win now. Great, no arguments here. But hopefully he doesn’t mortgage the future by giving up a first-round pick for a quarterback with 2-3 years tops left in his prime. The best plan is still to give Matt Hasselbeck another year while mentoring a rookie drafted in the first three rounds – Central Michigan’s Dan LeFevour is a good sleeper pick. Sign a veteran backup as an insurance policy, but don’t overpay in your zealousy to “win now.”

On another note, Patriots TE Ben Watson, Saints RB Mike Bell and Panthers DL Tyler Brayton all official visited headquarters earlier this week.
