Is franchising him an option with the looming CBA lockout in 2011?

All I can point to is that there won't be any player movement prior to the start of the 2011 league year. And though that typically means March 1, that could be a lot closer to August or September next year.

Really. Boring. Offseason.

So is that a yes, no, or I dunno?

It's an I dunno. There's no franchise tag to use without a CBA. But there's also no free agency to have to protect them from.

In the absence of free agency, McNabb wouldn't be eligible to go to anyone else unless we allowed him to. We'd, essentially, own his rights until traded or retired or relased. Players won't play under a system like that, so that's why the easiest solution is to just postpone the league year until they can figure out what to do with the franchise tag.

They very well might get rid of it in a bargaining chip, but he's our quarterback. We don't need a franchise tag. If we want him, and pay him like we want him, he will stay.

I wouldn't be so sure. He loves Brad Childress, and I think he would have chosen Minny over DC any day of the week, Shanahan or not. That Vikings team is WAY better than our Redskins.

If the Vikings are Favre-less after this season, I would expect McNabb to head north. Why wouldn't he? I'd take that team over our current version of the Redskins any day.

"They were 3-13 the year before they drafted me," McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News. "The next year, we went 5-11 and then the next year we went 10-6. After that, we were winning 10, 11 games almost every year and going to the playoffs. Not only did we get spoiled as players, but the organization and the fans got spoiled, because that's what they were seeing every year."

McNabb says there's a very different attitude in Washington.

"You come here [to the Redskins], it's like, will we win more than four games? Will we make it to the playoffs? That's the thing that excites me because it's the [same kind of] challenge [as 1999]. That's the drive to lead this team to the playoffs."

McNabb also said that although he was sincere when he apologized on a Philadelphia radio station for leaving town without ever winning a Super Bowl, he also doesn't think players should be judged by whether they have a Super Bowl ring.

"Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl," McNabb said. "Same with Fran Tarkenton. Are their careers failures? Not at all. I would love to be like Dan Marino.""They were 3-13 the year before they drafted me," McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News. "The next year, we went 5-11 and then the next year we went 10-6.
