[quote=diehard;814402]I'd rather see him traded for a conditional 5th rounder as supposed two 6ths. It's not like this team is able to find diamonds in the rough later in the draft.[/quote]

Well, you can't get what isn't available. If they weren't willing to give a 5th (I'm under the impression we asked for a 5th and 7th) then you have to take what you can get.

One down. Now if we can just deal old fat a$$ we can move on.

Favre had the mobility of an oak tree and was completely worn down, so that was a different situation.

[quote=NC_Skins;814186]We'll be getting 2 6th rounders for him. It's better than us just releasing him, which is exactly what we would be doing if nobody wanted him. The deal was made and it didn't work out. We were fortunate we got what we did back from him. Nobody was going to give up anything valuable for McNabb.[/quote]

I understand one of the 6th rounders is conditional. Let's hope he will meet whatever the requirement is for the compensation to be two.

Is there any word on how high that 2013 pick could become.

Re: Redskins and Vikings agree on McNabb trade (updated: deal is done)
 

I don't know but my arch-nemesis Adam Schefter and my compadre John Clayton as well as FoxSports' Jay Glazer are reporting that the deal will be officially announced tomorrow.

And as reported it will be McNabb for a 6th in 2012 and a conditional 6th in 2013. The 5th and 7th I had initially said was what the Redskins were looking for apparently

So Favre to McNabb....youth movement in Minnesota!

Sadly for Minny fans, it is. LOL.

Why is Schefty your arch-nemesis?

Re: Redskins and Vikings agree on McNabb trade (updated: deal is done)
 

He knows why

Yet, sadly he had enough mobility to run for that first down when we played Minny last year...

Your point?
McNabb is NOW less mobile than Jason Campbell and puts himself in 2nd and long and third and long situations. He'll get whacked plenty of times.

What the hell does Jason Campbell have to do with this? We're comparing McNabb's mobility to Favre's.

Vikings' punter who wears #5 is screwing with McNabb for the jersey number. :D

Getting creative. Niiice. I can just imagine McNabb's press conferences now:

Reporter: So McNabb, what do you feel was the reason why you guys were able to be successful on the field today, you in particular?

McNabb: Well, we just came together as a team, and played as a team. But personally, I feel like a big influence on me at this point in my career was this alt. rock band Tripping Icarus, who I just heard about upon coming over here. As soon as I put them on my Ipod, I felt rejuvenated, and it was like everything just came together for me from that point on.
