Perhaps I'm wrong but McNabb had a "no trade" clause with the Eagles. We traded with the Eagles, because McNabb allowed the trade, which means we have essentally picked up the "no trade" contract McNabb had. Unless he signes an extension or a new deal.

Correct?

Correct?

I thought that they said he actually didn't have that clause? And if so it probably wouldn't be transferable, but it'd depend on the writing

Correct?

All I know is I just heard Schefter say that McNabb doesn't have a "no trade" option with the Redskins.

He definitly had one with the Eagles. He basically said he'd work with them if they traded him to a team he liked. If they wouldn't he would invoke the clause.

I would presume that when he agreed to the trade his contract came with him until we either extend him or resign him. He has like one year left I think.

I just don't see how by this trade taking place a part of McNabbs contract is now null and void? We basically picked up his whole contract until he has a redo on his contract.

There was no no-trade clause, just something that said he could refuse to negotiate an extension or something. In effect it allowed him to choose where he went.

Exactly. Basically his version of a no-trade clause as I've said before was hoping to scare teams that he didn't like off enough to discourage them from trading for him.

"Reid said the possibility McNabb could refuse to go to another team or decline to extend his contract was not a factor"

What else would Reid say? Obviously the Eagles wouldn't trade Mcnabb to a division rival without being forced to do so.
