Miami certainly doesnt have a starting-caliber incumbent QB on the roster and Childress is likely the only coach who would consider giving up anything for McNabb. I would be thrilled if we got a 4th for McNabb, but doubt we could get more than a 5th.

Strangely enough, we were all excited after the McNabb extension because it would give us the right to trade him if things didnt work out. Hoewver, if we had just let McNabb walk away after this season under the terms of his previous contract, we likely would have gotten a 3rd or 4th round compesnatory pick in 2012. By signing him to an extension, publically humiliating, and letting the entire league know he was not part of our future plans, we dramatically REDUCED the compensation we would receive when we let him go.
