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.

Actually the Eagles O Line is just Ok and if not for Vick scrambling we would have had some good pressure on the QB last night.

Yep, he ole'd Lorenzo at least 3 times.

In the open MV has owned just about ayone trying to tackle him one on one. He can avoid contact better then 95% of the running backs in the NFL.

This deal gets better w/each report I read! It sounds like Bruce Allen's making a big impact on the kind of deals that are being signed. Now, if he can make some draft day trades, get shanny some more picks, start building a young team.

This really amounts to a 2 year contract. Essentially McNabb walked with $3.75 yesterday and could make some nice coin in 2011 if he's still on the roster. From what I just heard McNabb could be here through all of training camp 2011 and we could still cut him before opening day and he wouldn't owe him a dime.

Either way, I don't see McNabb here beyond 2011 and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Shanahan and Bruce Allen cut ties with him after this season. If Shanny benched his so called leader with two minutes to go during a crucial drive vs. the Lions, I'm sure he has no qualms about shipping him out altogether.

My guess is that he'll be back, but Miami is looking more attractive by the day. I say ship Mac and Moss (two players in their 30s who have interest in the Miami area) to the Fins and get us some of these damn picks back.

I'm with you on that. I have always admired McNabb and still would if he was shipped off to Miami, but I'm more interested in having someone who could be a franchise QB for the next ten years easily.

Redskins Insider - Donovan McNabb's guaranteed money: $3.5 million

[BrunellMVP?]

You really have to applaud this deal now that we know the real terms. We promise him nothing after this year, and we have the optionality of keeping him at a very reasonable level next year. Job well done.

[GTripp0012]

So the answer to the all important "dead money" question is....3.45 million. Hard to care about that much. Don't see a specific benefit to it though unless they feared the departure of the franchise tag option. Still an odd deal.

Still. How can you report the deal as $40 MILLION GUARANTEED?!?! If you were given a ridiculous 90% buffer for error on that figure, your report is still wrong. Terrible work by those who broke the contract numbers.

[GTripp0012]

Also: McNabb sold his option to free agency for...three and a half million dollars.

I'm sure he feared the Redskins exercising the franchise tag on him, which is the only reason that he'd agree to that up front payment. But it also means that his agent thinks there's no market for him when he does hit FA, and that he'd essentially be signing somewhere for 2/12 or something.

I'm so relieved that the initial reports were wrong,that kind of takes some of the sting away from last nite

As of right now, Harbaugh isn't interested in the Niners job if it became available

I'd probably take Christian Ponder in the 2nd round if he was there

Christian Ponder is a great QB and he will be a great addition to any NFL team. I could only hope that he comes here...

[Beemnseven]

Oops, you're right -- forget about Claussen. So toss out Carolina and throw in Dallas. They should be in contention... Hell, maybe even Minnesota could pick that high if things continue to go south. Arizona too...
