With Jay Cutler injured, the Chicago Bears are desperate for a starting quarterback. Sources close to Brett Favre say he would listen to a Chicago offer if the team called. The Bears also haven't ruled out bringing in Chicago native Donovan McNabb, cut last week by the Vikings.

The Donovan McNabb era is officially over in Minnesota. Coach Leslie Frazier says the Vikings put McNabb on waivers today, calling it "best for both parties." The move allows the veteran to sign with another team if they're willing to pick up the remaining portion of his $5 million salary. Frazier called McNabb "a class guy" and said he wouldn't have done anything differently in bringing McNabb in this year.

Former Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb had less than a day to spark interest from one of the 31 other NFL teams after being waived Thursday. He didn't. McNabb was not claimed on waivers and will become an unrestricted free agent.

Hours after being released by the Vikings, quarterback Donovan McNabb appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter to discuss his future. He said he wanted to move on so he could "clear my thoughts and clear my head and see what's next."

Ex-Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb appeared on ESPN2's "First Take" Thursday and was asked if he thought Robert Griffin III would do well if the Redskins draft him. McNabb said "no" because "a lot of times ego gets too involved when it comes to being in Washington." McNabb was referring to head coach Mike Shanahan.

Forget about Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler playing Sunday against the Vikings. Cutler -- who is recovering from a broken thumb -- was placed on the injured reserve list today.

Donovan McNabb still owes Vikings' punter Chris Kluwe a $5,000 donation to Kluwe's charity, Kick For A Cure. McNabb made a deal to wear the No. 5 jersey, which Kluwe owned before the start of the season. Kluwe, who now wears No. 4, planned on asking McNabb for the donation at the end of the season, but then McNabb was released.
