Where will McNabb land?

So, the talks to get McNabb might've been underway before the Shannys came in & it might've been more difficult than we know for them to reverse that process.

I've brought this up before, but it was Allen who initiated the idea. He was in some meeting, forget when exactly, but I think it may have been during Super Bowl week. And when I say meeting it was nothing formal, just some get together with NFL execs. And he came back to Shanahan and basically said "Look, I think we could have a real shot at getting Donovan McNabb, would you be interested?" That's how it all started

If I recall correctly, McNabb's contract makes it a lot easier to let him go now. Sucks what happened but time to rip the band-aid right off
