[quote=CRedskinsRule;688082]I know I am way overly concerned but:

PostBroncos

$$$ RT @Adam_Schefter: Marshall reaches agreement with Dolphins on four-year, $47.5 million extension, including $24 million guaranteed.

Marshall can apparently reach an ageement within 24 hours and I don't think anyone thought he was going to be easy to bargain with. If the Skins want McNabb to be their guy, they should sign him up and get it done with. Now maybe they are waiting for the draft and how JC's situation shakes out, but once they decided to bring McNabb in, the contract ought get done sooner rather than later[/quote]
They've probably been working contract out for awhile. It may be only the 2 figures that are done on his contract, who knows.

There's really no rush to all of this, his availability to us came pretty unexpectedly. I mean do we really think that McNabb is going to hold out and throw a fit? He could've done that in Philly. I don't think that we would've taken the trade had we not had an idea of what he'd want moving forward. None of us would even do that trade, why would real football people?

Re: why no extension?
 

His May 5 roster bonus that's due to him has something to do with the negotiations. I don't really follow all the salary cap rules so I don't know exactly what it is, but figuring out that piece is the hold up

Good article that looks at the numbers from Football Outsiders

Re: why no extension?
 

So i had a crazy thought. With the Rams likely to select Bradford, and the Redskins signing McNabb, but not immediately extending his contract, the Redskins are in prime position to corner the QB market this offseason if they selected Jimmy Clausen with the #4 overall pick.

Oakland and Buffalo, at minimum, would be willing to give us a favorable deal for the QBs of their choice, as they would have no other viable alternatives (Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow are nowhere near ready to start). Here's what we could conceivably do and how it would play out:

1) Get Oakland and Buffalo (and whoever else is interested) in a bidding war for Clausen (and/or McNabb).
2) Whoever offers the best deal gets either Clausen or McNabb.
3) The loser gets Jason Campbell for an above-market price.
4) The Redskins get McNabb or Clausen as its franchise QB and a plethora of draft picks and players
5) I am heralded as a genius for calling it over a week in advance

I will now herald you as The Warpath "stoner" of the week that's for sure!

Then it all backfires when Pittsburgh puts Roethlisberger into the mix as trade bait.

Re: why no extension?
 

I don't think the market for Rothlisberger would be that much greater than Vicks. Sure, someone would take him, but no one's going to want to commit to a franchise QB that may very well wind up in jail based on his recent behavior. he's shown no signs of actually learning anything, although only time will tell. Maybe i'm somewhat biased, because i really, really, hate the guy.

On a sidenote, Rick Maese twittered (i'm not sure on the appropriate verb) that both Shanahan's and Bruce Allen flew to Oklahoma to have a private workout with Bradford today.

are you talking about oceanic 815? and what the hell is sawyer's fictional 1977 dharmaville alter ego doing working for the redskins anyway? sounds like a vinny move to me.

Re: why no extension?
 

Can we change the title of this thread to "Why so serious?" I know it doesn't fit the topic but I think it would just make the thread cooler.
