McNabb/Briggs trade?

[sportscurmudgeon]

1. I believe that McNabb's contract gives him an opt out after the 2008 season. So in a sense, he may indeed only have two years left on the deal although it does extend for 5 more seasons.

2. It's a bit harsh to say the Eagles have never acomplished anything with McNabb at QB. They were the worst team in the league the year they got to draft him. The reason they had 2nd pick is because that's the year the Browns came back to the league and the Browns has the #1 pick. From those depths, the Eagles have won the NFL East 5 times and been to the NFC Championship game 3 times and to the Super Bowl once. That's hardly "never accomplished anything". By that standard, Sonny Jurgensen "never accomplished anything either..." Dan Marino "never accomplished anything either..." Jeff George never ... well the analogy does break down there.
