After trading away quarterback Donovan McNabb to their division rivals in Washington last week, it seemed as though Philadelphia would be content to stick with Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick next season, and possibly signing a veteran or drafting a late round prospect to fill out the depth chart.

But that doesn’t appear to be the case, as the Eagles are actively looking for a trading partner to unload Vick prior to the draft on April 22nd, and while they may find the market for Vick’s services to be less than they would prefer, a trade involving Vick is likely at this point, according to Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Daily News.

Domowitch believes the Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid isn’t convinced that Vick could consistently run the offense if Kolb were to get injured, and as such, signing a veteran to back up Kolb next season is the expected course of action for the Eagles once things are all said and done.

The most likely candidate to fill that role is former Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, who has been adamant in his desire to start someplace next season, but will undoubtedly come around on that very soon as the market for his services dries up.

As for Vick, teams that will likely be interested include the Bills and the Raiders, although Buffalo would seem to be the better fit given the style of offense employed by new head coach Chan Gailey.
