That's a great deal..,.possibly 2 6th-round picks.


If Minnesota was start, they'd wait for McNabb to be released and get him for free, but they're obviously:

*Aware of the competition from other teams needing QBs, particular vet QBs because of all of the 1st-round QB projects picked this year

*Worried about the lack of TC and preparation that Ponder was allowed to get. No way any team that drafted a QB and wants to start them Week 1 are ready. Tennessee, Minnesota, Jacksonville, Carolina...all going to need to start the regular season with a vet QB who can teach the rookie. Hasselbeck/McNabb/Garrard/Claussen will be starting Week 1. Bengals are screwed with Dalton in Week 1...but they're screwed in so many other ways too.
