The only winners in these two situations are Andy Reid (who has managed to con two teams in the past two years) and Haynesworth (who conned the Skins for a ton of money).

I said he was 2-1. His loss is the actual trade for McNabb to begin with. The two wins were getting picks back for guys they were going to cut, and who the team they traded to ended up cutting them as well.


Also, Shanny didn't give Fat Al that money, Snyder and Vinny did. SHanny just reworked the contract to fit in the uncapped year.

Still, I don't see how losing a 2nd rounder (b/c of the McNabb trade) and getting a 4th (from Minny) is consider winning at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we got something in return for McNabb after such a huge blunder of a trade, but still.

If you want to talk about Shanahan winning in a trade situation, I would say the trade with the Jags on draft day is a good example. Granted, some may say it is "too early" but as of right now I would put us in the winning end of that deal.
