Nonetheless, I wonder if he is tempted to draw this out for a while just to see the Shanahans twist in the wind a bit...

Wish I could read his mind now - - and Mike Shanahan's too if the Vikes/McNabb negotiations extend out over a couple of days...

Somebody brought it up in the other thread that he was willing to buy his way out of Washington, so don't see why he'd do that. However, we could **** him just as badly. We could wait till the end of pre-season and then drop him.

The insanity of this whole thing is that all McNabb received when he and Fletcher Smith totally gave up his freedom to choose where he finished his career was a $3.5 million signing bonus. I'm not sure I buy the "he's willing to buy his freedom" card. His agent just sold it at a bargain basement price.

Wait I said he was willing to buy his way out?

Anyhow, latest speculation has a conditional 3rd in 2013 coming to us, but I don't know if that's in addition to the 2012 picks, in addition to one of them, or instead of them
