Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is drawing more interest as the NFL Draft gets closer.
The Eagles said they have been entertaining offers on their quarterbacks for a couple of months now.
However, they much prefer to move Michael Vick over McNabb or Kevin Kolb, but there is little interest in the left-handed quarterback.
The Eagles have shown no interest in moving Kolb, who they see as the eventual successor to McNabb.
Eagles top brass wants to move McNabb, but so far head coach Andy Reid has turned them away.

Two games against the NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys are on the schedule again this season for the Philadelphia Eagles.
But there are other of tough matchups to navigate through if the Eagles hope to return to the postseason.
The National Football League has released its list of home games and road games for the upcoming season; dates and times will be determined later this spring.
Philadelphia, which went 0-3 against the Cowboys last season (including a loss in the opening round of the playoffs) plays four postseason qualifiers at home – and three more games against teams that finished above .500. Along with Dallas, playoff teams from last year playing at Philadelphia this season are AFC champion Indianapolis, NFC North champion and conference runner-up Minnesota, and NFC wild-card team Green Bay.
The Eagles also play host to two 9-7 teams, Atlanta and Houston, and the New York Giants (8-8). Only Washington at 4-12 is an under .500 team to come to Philadelphia this season.
The road schedule is nowhere near as tough, as the only game against a playoff team is the trip to Dallas. The rest of the schedule features games at the Giants, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Jacksonville and Tennessee.
Philadelphia’s schedule ranks ninth in the NFL for difficulty, based on opponents’ winning percentage last season.
