40 mil is guaranteed. 80 million is with the incentives included. I'll bet some of those incentives are easy to reach though.

40 million guaranteed. up to 88 million in incentives. We'll get details later. That's beside the point.

5 years, 78 mill (max 88 mill), 40 mill guaranteed.

Just confirmed McNabb deal is done, as reported...5 yrs, 78 million w/40 million guaranteed. How do you turn the page on Detroit? That's how

actions speak louder than words.

after all shanahan's ridiculous explanations for benching mcnabb and the questions ir raised, this move assured mcnabb and the rest of the players on the team that mcnabb is the teams leader. if there was any question before, there isnt now.

i like it.

Football outsiders (thus far)

- He's not playing all that well. By any measure. He's 25th in DVOA, has 6.3 AY/A, is completing 57% of his passes and has more INT than TD.
- He's injury-prone. The Redskins are paying him after he's been sorta healthy for eight games. Guys don't get healthy at 34.
- He had little leverage. A lockout next year takes time off of the end of his career. 2011 draft has lots of QBs. Buyer's market.
- Don't know what his compensation will be next season, but they could have franchise tagged him for $16m, and I bet it's more.
- As for idea that McNabb goes beyond his indiv. #s? Redskins rank 24th in PPG after being 26th last year. Def. was 18th in 09, 13th in 2010.
- Their passing offense is 23rd in the league with a 6.1% DVOA; a year ago, they were 20th, at 7.0%, with no OL.

This is probably a good move and at the right time. The organization needed to move away from all the negative headlines that's been going on for the past two weeks. This is a sign that the organization is committed to Donovan McNabb. The perfect scenario is for Donovan to throw for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns in a victory over his former team.

Boy...have you guys seen the comments on espn....everyone except Redskins homers are tearing the skins apart for this move.

I guess the good thing is....Skins get ripped early then folks say I told you so....or...the Skins look like geniuses if McNabb plays to his potential.

Either way...I certainly don't equate McNabb making a big $ to a historically irratible Haynesworth. If anything....I would expect the massive questioning to be a major motivator to a probowl leader like McNabb....time will certainly tell.

Too much money for a guy on the down side of his career. If he he has a shitty game tonight, I can't wait to hear what they say tomorrow. For that kind of money I expect great games every Sunday for at least the next 2 years.

There is no equating going on, except that he has to produce like a top QB, just like Haynesworth has to produce like a top DT.

Snyder has truly lost it now

What does he have to do with this?

This is Allen and Shanahan's show now.

What's funny is that Cutler (who lots of Redskins fans wanted) before he was traded to Chicago, signed a contract with the Bears for almost 1/2 the price.

10/20/2009: Signed a five-year, $49.77 million contract. The deal contains $20 million guaranteed, including a $7 million signing bonus, virtually all of Cutler's first-year salary, and $3.3 million of his 2010 base pay. Cutler can earn $500,000 workout bonuses in each year 2010-2013. 2009: $10.035 million (+ $100,000 workout bonus), 2010: $7.5 million, 2011: $8.1 million, 2012: $8.2 million, 2013: $8.9 million, 2014: Free Agent. Cap charge: $11.435 million (2009).

Who cares about this generation's Jeff George? Arm with no leadership. Donovan is worth twice as much for his huddle presence alone.

It's doubtful McNabb could have gotten a deal of this magnitude anywhere else in the league, certainly not in Philly.

It's because Cutler throws twice as many INTs as McNabb so his value is cut in half.
