McNabb does not have a no trade clause. If he wanted to prevent a trade he would basically have to go to the media and scare off certain teams that would try to trade for him. For example saying outright publicaly that he will not sign a contract extension with Buffalo or Oakland if he were to be traded or better yet saying that he will not play for them. Legally though he can't stop a trade on his own.

Thanks for clearing that up. :thumb: I was under the impression he had the right to refuse.

It's actually much easier than that. Since McNabb has only one year left on his current contract, a team that trades for him will need to negotiate a new contract or an extension.

All Mcnabb has to do is not come to any agreement. Bingo, trade is nullified and McNabb stays in Philly.

As stated he doesn't have a no trade clause. But with only one year remaining on his contract, he really is in the drivers seat as to where he ends up if traded.

only having 1 year left could end up hurting him though if he's not moved this season. he will be a year older after the season, plus he could end up having a bad season or even worse, getting injured again.
