Not according to him....
I just heard an int with DM on the M/M show. He says "ask ANY of the players on either the Skins or Vikes. THEY would tell you I am the first guy there and the last guy to leave........"
......to funny

I would pick up McNabb off of waivers so I could start him against the Jets and then bench him again for Rex Gross. Then I would cut him the following Monday.

I would never dis his career simply because he never won a sb. He made it there & he lead a very good team for years w/limited weapons. He was a pretty good qb in his day, but that day has passed.

I think he could play another few years as a backup if he wants to, and due to injuries he could be in a starting lineup next week. I think even philly has to consider him, he might help improve morale on that team.

I'm so tired of McNabb. Just go away man.

[JoeRedskin]

Wow. I thought at least Chicago would put in a claim. I guess we'll see if anyone is willing to take him on a vet min deal [I]or/I] if he will be willing to play for the same.

Chicago could just straight up sign him now. I'm not sure what the contractual difference is (if any) between signing him as a true FA or claiming him off waivers

I think, but am not sure, that if claimed off waivers, the claiming team must pick up the existing contract. Once cleared, the old contract "goes away" and McNabb is free to negotiate a new deal.

his best chance of hooking up with a team with the remaining games is if somebody's #1 And #2 go down.:yeahright

Well signing him as a FA is a low cost alternative as opposed to picking him off the waiver wire.

Believe Vikings could also pick him back up and try to trade him but there are different rules for different players at different times of the year

If I recall.. We got our 2nd round pick back that we lost in the Mcnabb deal, and actually gained a 6th rounder?

Smooth move Bruce and Shanny

Nope, two 6th roundes. Anegative net of a 4th(not on the point chart), but we got that for Jason Campbell.
