The only reason the Iggles traded McNabb in the division is because they felt like he wasn't going to be a legitimate threat to them, and they were right, he wasn't. Albert can suck it up in Philly, but all he has to do is be motivated to win two times a year, and the relatively low cost of having him on the team will at least be somewhat justified.

In other words, you don't trade a guy in the division if you think that guy will make the team you're facing better. I'm all for trading him and getting something in return for him being a jackass for the past two seasons, but I'd rather him get traded somewhere far away where we don't have to face him very often.

I wouldn't say the "only reason" cause they got 2 high picks out of the deal. If the iggles will give up a 2nd & 3rd for AH I say go ahead & do it!
