That's really not the case at all. You'd have to be pretty naive to believe that.
Reid and McNabb are tight, he was reluctant to trade him to Oakland or Buffalo as McNabb was adamant he didn't want to go to those teams. So once the Skins came into the picture Reid agreed to do him that favor and trade him to the better situation, even if it meant going to a division rival.
