What will happen once the lockout is lifted by the court? there are many speculations around the NFL future that keeps the fans consternated, one of the most discussed is what is going to happen with some unhappy quarterbacks in the trading list that possibly will be moving to other teams.
Of the quarterbacks that figures on the list are Kevin Kolb, Donovan Mcnabb, Reggie Bush, Steve Smith, and a few others that aren't so happy to be included. Even if some of the transferences could benefit both, the teams that may be interested in having a change on their lines and themselves. These are some reviews of interest written by Brian DiTullio for BR.
Kevin Kolb is one of those that may be in the hunter's sight. He would like and maybe has the potential to be a Star in the Eagles, however since Michael Vick got the role, they consider him a valuable trading option, so he could be moving soon if not traded already. It's possible that Kolb enter Arizona or Seattle for the 2011.
Looks like Donovan McNabb is one of those players destined to dwell errant. His performance has decreased since 2009 season and lately his lack of condition obliged Redskins coach Mike Shanahan to leave him behind. It is possible that McNabb will end in the Dolphins; but for Miami is more like urgency than a necessity. Maybe they will have McNabb for 2011 season and 2012 until they get a new quarterback in the next draft.

Rumors say that Reggie Bush left New Orleans after they drafted Mark Ingram. It is possible we may see Bush in the 49ers bench as a backup for Frank Gore. Also, he may help to remove some weight for Steven Jackson. I believe Bush may have more doors open and he won't miss New Orleans.
The Panthers have a gold card in Steve Smith; they really can get a good draft pick for him. His agent has been looking a warm place for him and with luck, in a team wih high chance to win a Super Bowl. So the probabilities of seeing Smith in Teams like Washington Red Skins, Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns or the Chicago Bears are really high. He may be part of the New York Jets, but only if they can't re-sign everyone.
Carson Palmer is one of those players that are seriously pissed off; the Bengals are more open to let Palmer retire than trade him. If they give the opportunity, Palmer can be part of the Redskins, the Seahawks or the Cardinals if they fail to get Marc Bulger or Kevin Kolb. Vince Young may be filling the lines for Dolphins or Red Skins; but this will because at this point, these are the only teams that could get valuable use of him; but the closest option is Miami.
The trade of quarterbacks may be the change that some of the teams mentioned above could use to improve their play and develop new strategies. The only thing that remains to be discussed is...When is the lockout to be lifted so we can start to see some action?
