He mentioned former teammates? I thought that he just said some of my teammates are here showing their support.. aka his teammates now

Some idiot just asked if McNabb would consider going into the Hall of Fame as a Redskin. How can a friggin sportswriter not know that in the NFL guys just go in, there is no team affiliation linking to the induction.

Shanahan on JC: had lunch yesterday, Jason was candid.. asked if he could look for starting job, Shanahan said yes he'd give the chance to start elsewhere before draft

if not JC will come back to us.. not sure if he meant that there was a deadline on him finding a starting job or not, I think more just about his tender.. mentioned JC is a classy guy

Yeah but players come back and sign 1-day contracts so that they can retire as a player of a certain team. Monk did it.. recently Elam did

but yeah induction as part of a team question is dumb
