We need to get off the 28 points as a positive that was total garbage time points.

Here is how the rest of the full deal breaks down, according to an NFLPA source:

• 2011: $10 million option bonus/$2.5 million salary/$750,000 if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2012: $12.75 million salary/$750,000 if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2013: $13 million salary/$1.5 million if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2014: $13.75 million salary/$3 million if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2015: $13.55 million salary/$2.25 million if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

If this is correct where's the 40 million gauranteed everyone keeps reporting?
That is my main problem with this contract

I don't think there is any 40mill in this deal and from what I see its pretty much a win win for the skins. We can pretty much dump him at any point without taking a hugh hit and we are not tied to him as the deal first seemed.

The $40M guaranteed obviously was not correct, this makes a lot more sense and his future with the team beyond this year is still up in the air. They obviously want to see him earn it.

Seems like it's a pretty good deal then, no? Funny how everyone was ready to pile on this deal and to believe that we GUARANTEED DMac Brady-style money.

I guess we deserve that with all we've done in the Snyder era, but to hear Gruden and co. bring up Jeff George et al. last night was just more salt in the wounds.

McNabb is no savior, but he's a decent vet. And he's not anywhere near our most serious problem at this point. O-line, WR, RB, a front seven that can play the 3-4, etc. seem more pressing to me. Whatever.

I am getting tired of being kicked in the nuts by this team year after year. Guess that's the price of being a skins fan!

Exactly. And right now, that's as good as it's going to get for us.

For everybody who's ready to throw McNabb out to the curb, who do you want? Give me a free agent who's available for 2011 that you'd rather have. Yes, we need to rebuild. I've said that all along. And assuming we have a shot at either of Andrew Luck or Jake Locker (remember the Skins always seem to do just well enough to put themselves out of contention for the blue-chip draft choice), it might not be until 2015 before you know if have a franchise QB.

If the standings end with the Buffalo being the worst team and the 49ers with a worse record than ours, then neither Locker or Luck will be available. Both would go to those teams, especially if the 49ers hire Harbaugh which would be an awesome hire for them.

Do you really think SF is going to hire a college coach? What if Troy Smith keeps playing lights out the rest of the year?

49ers may have something with Troy Smith -- he's been named the starter and has looked pretty good, plus they might squeeze out some more wins before its all over. Buffalo, no question will take whichever QB comes out on top. Carolina will likely have a high pick, and they'll need a QB too.

Finally a positive article about the contract:

Happy with this move and the terms of the deal. We still need a QB for the future but this is perfect for right now.

Now on to the 40 other holes on the team...

This is why people need not freak out when they see the initial numbers.

Turns out it may not even be 2 years. Smart negotiating led by Eric Schaffer. Still, we need someone for the future, and I don't think it's John Beck. Would have loved to have drafted Sam Bradford, would have even have been content with Mark Sanchez. Getting McNabb was totally fine by me, but realistically he's not a long term answer

Still I could see him possibly doing better in Miami with another weapon or two.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?

Why do people keep falling into the same argument? Vick would not make the Redskins Better. Vick would not make the redskins go to the playoffs. The Eagles have a great TEAM. They have a great offensive line with very talented wide receivers and a good QB to boot. We don't have an offensive line, don't have good WRs and have a good QB. It's a TEAM game.

The redskins have no talent. If anything, you should be complaining why we spent 3 picks on receivers instead of offensive lineman two years ago.
