Not to release him but I wouldn't consider him a lock close to a lock make the team. The last time Shanahan carried 3 QB's was when there was a little bit more uncertainty at the position in 2003 when they brought in Jake Plummer. After Plummer proved himself Shanahan started carrying two QB's. In our case McNabb is much more proven at this point then Plummer was during his first year with the Broncos.
With the Beck trade you're basically looking at an exchange that only cost us a CB that was a long shot to make the final roster around the same time you were looking to cut your third or fourth string QB.
