I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It's just insanity.

I mean, how much money are they planning to eat on the back end? McNabb obviously won't be in Washington in 2014, and it's not uncommon to completely backload a deal thats simply designed to keep him off the open market until it sets itself after the next CBA is done.

It's worth pointing out that McNabb's job security is a week to week deal. But his financial security basically makes his roster spot safe through 2012. Which greatly undermines anything either Shanahan would try to do to improve him as a player.

It's insane how easy this organization throws around it's money. The redeeming grace of this deal is that we've seen that no amount of financial security is going to affect Shanahan's QB plan for the future.
