He decided to trade for McNabb, in hopes that Trading McNabb and the fourth overall pick that that would be good enough to get the number one overall pick and get Sam Bradford. He had even talked to the Rams front office and asked them if they wanted McNabb, they said they would definitely consider it and that it was a good possibility they would take that trade offer, but a few weeks later after he had his pro day and met with the rams, the rams felt that he was too good to pass up on and that they needed to get younger. Shanahan even told Bradford that when they met for a workout and dining experience that he said 'theres a good chance that you will be on our team this fall.' Rams called a few days later saying, 'sorry we want him, no trade.' Shanahan, Kyle and Mike, didn't really want McNabb, they just wanted a better chance at getting Bradford, which ended up being a gamble that didn't turn out.

Why go through all that when you could just offer your 1st & 2nd. I think SS story sounds more beleiveable.

That's what I say, but again this is what I heard on the radio the other day.
