Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Filed to ESPN: #Redskinsand Donovan McNabb have agreed to five year extension, worth 78 million, 40 guaranteed

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Good news IMO

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

hey now!!! I like it.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

There's his incentive. Hope he proves to be worth it.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

I hope the contract has an opt out after the second year by the team or this is going to be another huge mistake.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

wow. of course that guarantees a bomb tonight :( heck after a 40 Mill(guaranteed portion) party who has time to throw the ball.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

That's almost as much guaranteed as Brady. And a 5 year deal? That's too much money, too many years. I'm happy we extended him, but not for that much.

It will make for interesting television tonight for sure. One thing is certain- if we come out and lay an egg tonight, we'll get blasted (as usual).

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

That's crazy money!

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

I'm not sure I agree but I guess it gives us some stability.

X2. But we really didn't have a choice.

Agreed and worried. He better have the game of his life tonight, I don't want to see balls on the dirt or over thrown.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Yea seems to be too much $ but when we win the Super Bowl next yr it will all be worth it.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Nice way to be rewarded after a benching. Time to pony up someone to play in front of him or this could turn out not so good. That's a huge sum of money for a QB with no line.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Wow! Resolution complete. Moving on to winning games now.

TW is a monster and Brown is solid ( when healthy), takes some time to build a great line, we will be fine in the near future

agree with this....way tooooooo much

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Lets see how this is structured. Hopefully the yearly payout in back heavy so we could part ways in 2-3 years if we wanted it.

I haven't seen that yet, if anything I'm worried about Brown with his performance the last few weeks. He better recover soon or we are going to have a hurt $40 million QB on the sidelines.

This contract is a Huge Mistake!!! DM can't play under pressure. Never has been able to.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Man, that's a lot o' cash. A whole lot!

Money talks, and bullsh*t walks.

He payed great in the one SB until he puked on the center.

I was hearing it was going to be like TB's.

Oh god yet another huge Redskins mistake.

Yea but it's easier to replace a RT than a LT

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

How are you not happy about this .... we are 4-4 .. just proved in writing and $$$ we locked in our QB for 5 yrs ... even if he gives us 3 good ones .. tonight can change the outlook once again for this team ... let's beat the eagles ass tonight .. let's be 5-4 with our leader .... let's make a run at this damn thing !

Have some faith 44, DMac will be fine

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Big trainwreck waiting to happen. Any sane Skins fan cannot be happy with this contract. 5 years???? Of course I only see him playing 2-3 years of that then being cut, but damn this is another bonehead front office move.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Anyone feel like this is a way to bribe DM to play well tonight? Like "If you do well, we will give you BIG money"

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

I dont like this. I'm happy for Donovan the person, but this sucks for this football team. IMO, he shouldn't be in the same realm as Brady or Manning...

17 million a year seems too much. I hope it is set up in a way that we can get the money back in 2 seasons or so if he doesnt pan out.

Hahaha!

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Say what you guys want,but is the BEST move we could have made.

We have invested 2 draft picks in this guy for a 2nd and (3rd or 4th rounder)

Now Shanahan can draft his future and Redskins future prospect whoever that will be and groom him behind McNabb.

Instead of losing him to Free Agency and finding a way to fill the QB position and waiting for him to learn the offense or Sexy Rexy being our starter,we can now look to address the O-line,WR and what other positions of need in upcoming seasons.

GREAT JOB BRUCE!!

So you would rather have 5 walk and go with Grossman? The plan is to go with McNabb for 3 more years as the starter, during that time we need to draft a QB and let him learn for 2 years. ( A. Rodgers, T. Romo)

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Nice, so much for the racist talk eh?

Let's see how the numbers are structured before we get too crazy.

80 mil to bribe a QB to play good in a middle of the season game? Ok.

Especially after what we've seen the last couple of weeks, $10 mill a year is what I would offer and that's been generous.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;758354]Have some faith 44, DMac will be fine[/quote]

I do, I do. Im glad he's on the team. I've been a McNabb fan since college. We do need him to get our team to the next level. He is due for a SB!

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

Not sure how I really feel about this. I feel the QB play is by far the most critical part on the team but is McNabb worth this type of dough for past accomplishments? (on another team at that) Make no mistake, this isn't a Manning or Brady here.


I will say this, he is heads/shoulders above Jason Campbell in any shape form or fashion, but it's still a 50/50 come the 2 minute drill on whether D. McNabb does anything or not.

Re: Redskins and McNabb Agree to Contract Extension
 

I'm beginning to hate this team.
