I like the move. Not worrying too much about the money, it's nice that we have essentially guaranteed that McNabb is going to retire as a skin. I wouldn't really want many other QBs in the league to tutor whoever we draft to be our next young QB.

I don't understand how people can be upset about this. If you don't resign him, you waste two draft picks and are stuck with either sexy rex or a rookie. How is that better? Signing him for five years isn't guaranteeing that he'll start until his contract is up.

Besides, tonight he's going to have a great game. McNabb always plays well after a benching or a bye, and this week he has both. I expect big things tonight, and not because of the payday.
