Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb

[53Fan]

If Albert wants to walk......give the money back. We've had too many guys take the money and lay down. The buck stops here Beeatch!!!

The media circus also needs to stop and personally that is more important. The team just needs to make sure to do their HW and not sign characters like AH period. I don't see anything good for the team happening if this guy is on the bench.

I cant believe how quickly the McNabb trade (2nd and 4th) has led to us getting absolutely nothing in return.

Didnt we give him an extra couple mil half way thru last season so that we could control where he goes and he just doesnt become a FA.

Im going to assume McNabb will give back that money for his freedom to choose where he wants to finish his career....and I could see him doing very well next year.

I thought he played pretty well here considering. I hope we do release him instead of getting a 5th rounder and sending him to pergatory somewhere.

I wish Shanahan would try to keep McNabb as much as he wants to keep Haynesworth. Well I know he doesn't "want" to keep Haynesworth, but I just wish they could make something work out with McNabb for at least one more year. With the Haynesworth issue, it is just money, and well I feel that it is not going to be expensive to fix all the goofs that Vinny made in the past. But with McNabb it's a 2nd rounder, that could've been very useful last season, that they are wasting away. As much as the FO office has improved with BA and Shanahan, this McNabb failed trade and the continuing circus around Haynesworth are sort of giving a black eye to the improvement they've made.

I thought we gave him a few mil signing bonus half way thru last season to extend his contract for 1 year with the skins having the option of dropping him right before the first reg season game.

The initially reported deal by the Skins of the big multi year resigning of McNabb right before our MNF game that, in reality, was just a few extra mil with the skins to have an option of dropping him right before the fisrt reg season game?

McNabb to Vikings buzz continues - The Insider - The Washington Post

"One league source said none of the teams interested in McNabb is expected to want to offer much for the 34-year-old quarterback, not because they doubt his skills but because the Redskins already tipped their hand that McNabb doesn’t have a future in Washington."

Yeah, we're not going to get much for McNabb it seems.

It's probably gonna have to be some sort of conditional pick.

Washington Redskins have out clause in Donovan McNabb's new contract - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

McNabb receives a $3.5 million bonus this year as part of the new agreement, but the rest of the five-year, $78 million package would come to naught if the team decides to cut ties.

I'm not sure who was the bigger fool this past year. Shanny and crew for that trade/contract or SBXVII and Brody for actually believing the Skins were holding tryouts for replacement players....lololol

Well, I guess if you look at it that way sure

It was basically a 3 million dollar bribe to control his rights in the off season. The above article Ruhskins posted did have this to say about the situation.

It is believed that McNabb would be willing to give back the $3.5 signing bonus he received last fall in exchange for his release.

Personally, I don't see why he should. He has all the leverage in this situation knowing his trade value is Nil and that he can't be traded due to the CBA.

Money for nothing......and chicks for free!

We are never going to get back what we paid for McNabb. It's understandable that we paid more since he was in the division. Now his value is even less w/another year under his belt & coming off his worst season in years.

That said, I have confidence that Allen & co. will hold onto him until they can get something. Assuming there's a CBA, if somebody wants him to be in camp they will offer something. I see a smiliar approach to the way they handled JC. I think a 4th round pick is realistic, just like the JC deal.

Just not two years away I hope.

I can see a team that misses out on a QB in the draft giving us a conditional pick (3rd to 5th round).
