The Facts:
If, through either negotiation or court order, the NFL lockout is lifted before next month’s draft, there’s a very good chance the Eagles will acquiesce to Kolb’s request to be traded. HC Andy Reid pretty much acknowledged that this week in an interview with the team’s web site. "People have shown a little interest (in Kolb), and as this thing picks up, I’m sure it will continue," Reid said. "Listen, we’ll sit back and we’ll evaluate."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kolb has just one year left on his contract. It wouldn’t be a financial burden for the Eagles’ to keep him as a backup to Michael Vick. While Vick signed a franchise-player tender that will earn him in excess of $16 million this year, Kolb’s 2011 salary is less than $2 million. But in a year when there are an inordinate number of teams needing quarterback help and the draft is mainly full of uncertain projects, Kolb’s trade stock is high.
