When talking about trade value, lets remember how McNabb got here - a 2010 2nd rounder and a conditional pick in 2011 that ended up being a 4th rounder (the equivalent of a 2010 5th rounder. A number of teams were allegedly interested in McNabb, but no one wanted to give up a 2nd rounder as high as what the Redskins gave up. The eagles traded McNabb TO A DIVISION RIVAL, because no other NFL team thought he was worth a top 5 pick in the 2nd round.... this after being the franchise quarterback for 11 years. McNabbs horrible play in 2010 has solidified what 30 other NFL teams already guessed - McNabb is garbage.

Barring a pre-season injury to a starting QB in a WCO system combined with a panic move made by a GM or coach on the hotseat, I dont think we get much of anything for him. My best guess would be a conditional 2012 pick that could range anywhere from nothing to a 5th rounder. And i think we get nothing in return. I hate to say it, but i really think we would be best off cutting him and moving on. Any compensation we get in return is not worth the distraction of his presence here.
