Redskins and Vikings agree on McNabb trade (updated: deal is done)

skinsfan69 · 07-26-2011, 09:01 PM

I don't understand Minnesota's front office. They're willing to part w/ draft picks for an old QB past his prime that's about to get cut? Why not wait til he's released? It's not like there's a large bidding war for McNabb's services.

I honestly gotta see it to believe it. I just can't see Minnesota giving up more picks, espeically after the Moss trade last year. But hopefully they will!

Given that they just drafted Ponder, and given that there are several QB hungry teams, there is a good chance that Minn would not be McNabb's first choice on an open market. If they want to ensure that they get him, a trade makes sense.

I think you might be underestimating the market for veteran QBs, especially when it comes to teams with rookie QBs.

How long should they wait for him to be released? We could hold him right up until the season starts. If Minny really wants him they're going to want to get him into their camp sooner rather than later.

I just think that they had Jackson sitting there, he's got game experience, why not just let him play instead of trading for McNabb? That way they keep the picks.... and to be honest, at this point, is there a big upgrade between McNabb and Jackson??

Well, the Vikes probably know less about McNabb than we do, similar to how Philly knew more about McNabb prior to "The Trade". Not to mention that they might overrate their own team based on that playoff run a couple years ago.

One minor error in the logic here:

Tarvaris Jackson is NOT on the Vikings' roster. The team and the QB parted company at the end of the 2010 season and he is an unrestricted free agent as of March 2011. Rumor has Jackson going to the Seahawks...

Vikings' QBs as of the opening of camp are Christian Ponder and Joe Webb and Rhett Bomar. Also familiar with their system from time on the squad last year is Patrick Ramsey.

I am glad to see I am not the only one coveting Hawkeyes.

The said Rotoworld report links to the following article as its source.

In short, JLC gets owned again.

Eh. Not a bad player but probably not a difference maker.

musicmaster45 · 07-26-2011, 10:13 PM
