Rams coach shoots down McNabb trade rumors

JUPITER, Fla. — St. Louis coach Steve Spagnuolo joined the chorus of denial regarding reports that the Rams are close to a deal for Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Spagnuolo said Thursday while visiting the Cardinals spring training camp that “there’s nothing to that.”

Spagnuolo said “at this time of the year, there are going to be all kinds of things. But no, there’s nothing there.”

Spagnuolo was at Cardinals camp in Jupiter, Fla., following the NFL owners meetings in Orlando. He visited manager Tony La Russa and will watch some spring training games.

Spagnuolo said he doesn’t put much stock in trade rumors. Those include reports Wednesday by media outlets in Philadelphia that the Rams had offered a second-round draft pick and safety Oshiomoghe Atogwe for McNabb.
