Donovan McNabb

Rams GM Billy Devaney shot down reports that his club might acquire Donovan McNabb Wednesday, calling the rumors “absolutely false.” “Nothing to it,” another high-ranking Rams official informed Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Rams Post-Dispatch. “It’s utterly ridiculous,” Devaney added.

“I haven’t talked to Philadelphia about any of their players.” “They may have a trade offer, but not from us,” yet a third Rams source said. “Why would we trade for McNabb and then go watch (Sam) Bradford throw on Monday?” Expect McNabb to get traded on or around draft week.

Elsewhere around the NFL:

Pittsburg: KDKA 2 in Pittsburgh reports that the woman accusing Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault has declined to be re-interviewed by police. Police already lack key physical evidence (Big Ben’s DNA), and now have an uncooperative key witness.

The woman skipped one previously scheduled interview. “Bottom line is, no cooperative victim under these circumstances, probably no crime,” said Robert Del Greco, an unbiased Pittsburgh defensive attorney. No charges would probably also mean no NFL suspension.

Carolina:  Panthers coach John Fox confirmed that the team has no interest in trading Jonathan Stewart or DeAngelo Williams. There were some rumors that Williams would be available thanks to Stewart’s breakout down the stretch in 2009, but they were quickly shot down.

Stewart is coming off another Achilles’ surgery and the Carolina Panthers need two elite backs anyway to implement their smash mouth style

Washington: Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was noncommittal when asked Wednesday if Jason Campbell will be the team’s starting QB in 2010. “There’s competition at every position,” Shanahan said. “Rex Grossman was with Kyle [Shanahan] in Houston, he understands the system.

We’re going to…have all these guys compete.” Campbell should win a camp battle with Grossman handily, but any true competition would limit his offseason reps

Jacksonville: Free agent Torry Holt indicated Wednesday that he’s receiving little interest on the open market. Holt claims he spoke to a few teams recently, but he’s still in wait-and-see mode at this time. The 34-year-old also reiterated his desire to play for Mike Martz in Chicago, but the Bears aren’t showing strong interest in him.

Holt probably needs at least another year of solid production to solidify a spot in the Hall of Fame. Things may pick up for him after the draft.

2010 NFL Draft: Opinions of Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour’s passing were reportedly “mixed” after he threw for evaluators at his Pro Day. LeFevour didn’t throw to moving targets in Indianapolis, so he needed a big day to motivate his draft stock. However, LeFevour “struggled throwing the ball downfield,” which isn’t surprising considering his lack of ideal arm strength.

Receivers reportedly had to slow down their routes frequently to haul in his throws, with some “out-running LeFevour’s deep passes altogether.”
