why no extension?

[diehard]

This is interesting. You'd expect a deal to have been already on the table before McNabb 'agreed' to the trade.

[TheBackupKicker]

even if we dont get him signed we can still franchise him

[SBXVII]

I thought I read that McNabbs agent has been in talks with the Skins trying to work out a deal? I thought the quote from the agent was they were getting closer but still had a ways to go.

The only thing I can think of is that McNabb is asking for a whole lot more than Allen is willing to pay. He is due around 11M this year, and as a top ten QB, it can be expected he will want at least a 4-5yr deal worth a minimum of 50M with a bonus and guaranteed dollars in the 15-25M range. Manning is going to get 20M per, and Brady is looking for a similar contract so McNabb is going to want a huge deal as well.

The way I see it Manning got an over priced contract. I would expect his next contract to be lower not just because he's getting older. Just like JC is good but not McNabb level, I'd say McNabb is good but not Manning level.

The money may not be an issue it might be how long the contract is for.

This thread seems to be filled with a bunch of very young newcomers to football who have no idea who Bruce Allen is or who Mike Shanahan is. Oh they have the heard the names or whatever, but these young guys who are complaining that the Redskins should not have paid a HEFTY price for an ALL PRO quarterback and that McNabb is going to walk after this season....GEEEEEESH. Give me a break.

Bruce Allen...more knowledge and experience in his football family than most coaches will amass in a lifetime. Mike Shanahan...several S.B. rings but MORE important, a quarterback guru. And if thats not enought he brought his son with him who directed the NUMBER 1 passing attack in the NFL last season.

Don't complain about something that you don't understand. Its waaaaaaaaay over your head so just sit back and accept that the past does not equal the present, and Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan do not equal Vinnie Cerrato and Jim Zorn.

These guys do not let the fans or the owners whims run the franchise anymore. It is now in capable hands and this you will see.

I think I heard something similar to this at Sunday's mass.

Sounds eerily familiar to the Holy Trinity.

Don't forget that Shanny gave his only begotten son to coordinate our offense

Dude, I'm the quarterback guru here. Mike Shanahan: he's just a football coach.

The trade happened pretty quick and seemed to take the Redskins off guard a bit. A deal will get done, honestly I don't even see where it's a concern.

I know I am way overly concerned but:

PostBroncos

$$$ RT @Adam_Schefter: Marshall reaches agreement with Dolphins on four-year, $47.5 million extension, including $24 million guaranteed.

Marshall can apparently reach an ageement within 24 hours and I don't think anyone thought he was going to be easy to bargain with. If the Skins want McNabb to be their guy, they should sign him up and get it done with. Now maybe they are waiting for the draft and how JC's situation shakes out, but once they decided to bring McNabb in, the contract ought get done sooner rather than later

They've probably been working contract out for awhile. It may be only the 2 figures that are done on his contract, who knows.

There's really no rush to all of this, his availability to us came pretty unexpectedly. I mean do we really think that McNabb is going to hold out and throw a fit? He could've done that in Philly. I don't think that we would've taken the trade had we not had an idea of what he'd want moving forward. None of us would even do that trade, why would real football people?

[tryfuhl]

Nice man, hang in there.

Yeah, if we don't have our OL settled by July or so I'll start getting nervous. Who knows if someone from some team goes down and we ship a guy off in a trade that involves someone or whatever the case may be. I mean we can't have 5 all-stars on the line, not that we really even have 1 right now, but we'll just have to accept that we're probably looking at most of what we'll have. As long as we get the LT situation figured out I think that we'll be mostly okay, though McNabb will probably be rolling right quite a bit, though they'll probably allow the rusher more on the inside in those cases. I'd really like to solidify the other end but I think having Dockery and Rabach will be solid enough in those spots. Then if Big Mike, Hicks, whoever can handle the RG spot we'll be okay, even if it's a bit by committee, can't forget Rinehart either.
