Players won't play under a system like that, so that's why the easiest solution is to just postpone the league year until they can figure out what to do with the franchise tag.
They very well might get rid of it in a bargaining chip, but he's our quarterback. We don't need a franchise tag. If we want him, and pay him like we want him, he will stay.

I wouldn't be so sure. He loves Brad Childress, and I think he would have chosen Minny over DC any day of the week, Shanahan or not. That Vikings team is WAY better than our Redskins.
If the Vikings are Favre-less after this season, I would expect McNabb to head north. Why wouldn't he? I'd take that team over our current version of the Redskins any day.
