Not suprised at all. But hey it's news

skinsfaninok · 12-26-2010, 12:14 PM

They won't release him, he's dreaming if he actually thinks that

tdSKINS1 · 12-26-2010, 12:24 PM

I agree I don't see them releasing him either.

Jeeze, does the drama ever end? I like you DMac and wished things had been better. But good luck having your way on this one after the comments made by your agent.

The fact that he is under contract until the first week of the season bodes very well for our chances of trading him. We probably can expect, at best a 3rd and at worst a 5th, assuming he is willing to take a pay cut. If he does not the Redskins will release him right at the last minute.

I think that was a shrewd contractual move by Bruce Allen, don't you think? Vinny could have never been that creative or forward thinking.

A belated attempt at rectifying his original mistake of making such a trade. The handwriting was on the wall long before he decided to go that route.

I think you hit the nail on the head. They knew several games into the season that Donovan was not the answer. I would further suggest that McNabb knew he was exposed by his laid back attitude and lack of urgency.

But Vinny would not have been that calculating. It actually gives us some relief should we decide to get rid of him.

Yeah, we will trade him. If they release him it'll be foolish. I would love to get a 3rd/5th from the Niners or Cardinals.

BigHairedAristocrat · 12-26-2010, 01:00 PM

No way the cardinals would be interested. Possibly The Vikings, but, barring injury, I don't see a big market for him. I'd say Oakland is the most likely destination, and only because al Davis is retarded.

Why wouldnt Tennessee, SF or Minny be interested? I think a 4th is reasonable to hope for in a trade. No way he gets an outright release.

GusFrerotte · 12-26-2010, 01:05 PM

Minnesota would be very interested, but I think a 3rd round pick might be the best we could do.

I would be happy with a 3rd rounder for him.

Dread-Skin · 12-26-2010, 02:49 PM

maybe we resigned him just to gain an additional draft pick in trade?

I would think so. Now it just depends on supply and demand to determine the quality of compensation that we get for him. Just have to hope demand is high. There are plenty of teams that will need a veteran QB next year.
