There is no equating going on, except that he has to produce like a top QB, just like Haynesworth has to produce like a top DT.

Snyder has truly lost it now

What does he have to do with this?

This is Allen and Shanahan's show now.

I hear that McNabb had to take a cardiovascular endurance test before getting the new deal.

Regardless of the numbers this year, Donovan is not an average QB. He's a top 10 quarterback with top 5 leadership qualities operating in a new system behind a bottom 5 offensive line with a bottom 10 running back/wideout roster.

I apologize for the run on sentence, but i wanted you to read all of that at once, because that is the real reason we are struggling. And the only reason we are competitive this year is because of his leadership skills.

Is this a value laden deal for us, maybe not. But when was the last time you interviewed for a job that Bruce Allen was interviewing for?

[BleedBurgundy]

two weeks after benching him for performance? Holy hell... this team is going to give me an aneurysm.

What's funny is that Cutler (who lots of Redskins fans wanted) before he was traded to Chicago, signed a contract with the Bears for almost 1/2 the price.

10/20/2009: Signed a five-year, $49.77 million contract. The deal contains $20 million guaranteed, including a $7 million signing bonus, virtually all of Cutler's first-year salary, and $3.3 million of his 2010 base pay. Cutler can earn $500,000 workout bonuses in each year 2010-2013. 2009: $10.035 million (+ $100,000 workout bonus), 2010: $7.5 million, 2011: $8.1 million, 2012: $8.2 million, 2013: $8.9 million, 2014: Free Agent. Cap charge: $11.435 million (2009).

I personally don't care how much we invest in him. As long as there is no salary cap, it's Dan Snyder's money, not mine. I'm just glad he'll be here for another couple years so thats one less thing we have to worry about. I'd like to take a QB in the 2012 draft; groom him for a year or so and then bring him in. The time/amount don't really bother me at all.

Even though this is supposedly Bruce Allen's deal...the timing of the announcement being just hours before the monday night matchup with his old team reeks of Snyder.
(not to mention the wad of cash)

Analysis: The deadline for adding non-prorated salary to a player's contract is monday of week 10. After that, any increase in salary gets prorated as though it is a signing bonus."

That is from the current CBA and may be a part of why the deal got done before 4pm today. Just means any increase in this years salary doesn't get pro-rated ala a signing bonus.

Overall, McNabb was gonna get paid, and this seems about right to me, it's not Peyton Manning money, but it is reflective of a multi year PB contender, and top (not elite) qb.

Who cares about this generation's Jeff George? Arm with no leadership. Donovan is worth twice as much for his huddle presence alone.

[SmootSmack]

Right now I'm hearing this is essentially a 2-3 year deal. The total money likely to be paid out is much less than being reported, kind of like Haynesworth and his $100 million

But still trying to confirm things.

I heard it consisted of running a 2 min O.

40 mill of the 78 is guaranteed so of the 15.6 mill per year 8 of that is guaranteed.

BUT

Chances are the bulk of the 40 is in the first few years, so probably its more weighted like 25 per year the first two years and 12.66mil the last 3 years.

Here is a link to a good article (not on the salary but the benching/extension connection)
The Bench, The Bank and in everything Between! « DC Sports Radio

GC on it only being 15.6 mil per year, i was about to say I did that wrong because the 8 mil bonus would be part of the 15.6 mil per year total cost.

I think the contract is probably gonna be front loaded because they don't know how many years McNabb is going to give us as a starting quarterback. So even though it averages 15.6 mil per year, it's probably gonna be a lot higher than that in the first 1-3 years of the deal, then a lot lower than that in the final 2 years so we can release him or if he retires and we don't want a huge cap hit.

Also, it removes the ability to sacrifice a season to target the next big QB that will be coming in the near future.

A franchise quarterback is worth any two starting defensive players.
