McNabb does not have a no trade clause. If he wanted to prevent a trade he would basically have to go to the media and scare off certain teams that would try to trade for him. For example saying outright publicaly that he will not sign a contract extension with Buffalo or Oakland if he were to be traded or better yet saying that he will not play for them. Legally though he can't stop a trade on his own.

There are two things Al Davis looks for every April: athleticism and arm strength (for quarterbacks). JaMarcus Russell has both attributes, and reminds me of Daunte Culpepper circa 2004. Moreover, Russell's ability to elude defenders will come in handy once opposing pass rushers easily squeak through Oakland's pitiful offensive line.

Yeah, I was impressed with Gradowski last year. The kid has an absolute cannon, and he's going to be there for a while. McNabb on the other hand, will want out just like every other pro bowler who's gone to the Raiders.

So much for Walter Football's being the end-all of football analysis. They had the pick right (he was chosen by the Raiders) but the player analysis wrong.

Thanks for clearing that up. :thumb: I was under the impression he had the right to refuse.

It's actually much easier than that. Since McNabb has only one year left on his current contract, a team that trades for him will need to negotiate a new contract or an extension.

All Mcnabb has to do is not come to any agreement. Bingo, trade is nullified and McNabb stays in Philly.

As stated he doesn't have a no trade clause. But with only one year remaining on his contract, he really is in the drivers seat as to where he ends up if traded.

I don't. I hope he stays in Philli. Again since his injuries he's been slower, less of a runner and more of a pocket passer, and predictable under pressure. Basically he sucks now. He's hardly the QB he used to be. They bring in Kolbe and we are screwed with a QB that has youth, health, and arm strength.

If they can get a 1st for him they better take it he's been in the league how long still playing at a high level grab the 1st and move on.

Damn wish we had a QB that sucked this bad the last few years

only having 1 year left could end up hurting him though if he's not moved this season. he will be a year older after the season, plus he could end up having a bad season or even worse, getting injured again.

Please. McNoodle has maybe 4 good passes a game. The rest are too high, or out of bounds.

Yeah take a look at his stats.... throwing the ball out of bounds is not a negative mark on his stats.

Look all I'm saying is he's not the McNabb of 4 or 5 yrs ago. He's had two yrs with bad injuries. He hardly runs out of the pocket and when he does it's sideline to sideline alot slower then he used to. He hardly runs down field any more. Maybe due to age. He's more of a pocket passer which has limited his threat ability. Basically he's easier to game plan around now vs. years ago.

and now your wanting him gone for Kolbe who is probably just as good and more upside because of health.
