Report: McNabb extension on “faster track� | ProFootballTalk

I just heard the same the on the NFL network.

Not to down play this, but it just strikes me as the team trying to smooth over things a bit given all the drama lately.

Agreed. It worked in Philly.

1) McNabb benched as a wake up call, then
2) McNabb responded by playing well but feeling hurt, then
3) hurt feelings soothed with money

^ yea I agree matty.. I wonder if they will extend him for 1 or 2 years? Maybe longer

[skinsfan69]

Whether we like it or not we're stuck with McNabb for a few years. Just cause there is no extension doesn't mean anything. To be honest I really don't think there is going to be a big market for him anyway. He may not have a choice but to resign here.

I would think the Cards and Vikes would be very interested in him.

At this point is Tavarus Jackson any worse than McNabb?? I don't know... I'd expect the Cards to go with one of the guys in the draft.

..........maybe even Miami.

Jackson hasn't proven anything yet in this league. You're kidding yourself if you don't think there would be a market for McNabb.

There will be a market for him but a very small one IMO.

I could definitely see Miami as an option. Arizona makes sense because they need a QB (or give the ball to Skelton) and McNabb has a home there but I haven't got the sense that Whisenhunt wants McNabb running his offense. Only reason Minnesota is mentioned is because of Childress. No Chilly, No Donovan in Minnesota.

Mcnabb will get a new contract when

he completes more passes
throws less interceptions
throws more touchdowns

I haven't been impressed with DM this year, at times yes but I will never understand letting go of DThomas. DM has no weapons ,give him what he had in Philly with our run game- he will be unstoppable but it seems the Skins are paying the price of letting DT go when we are all anxious to see if Torrain will be effective and is still hurt. W/o a run game, with a failing OL, why would we embarrass our starting QB ????? I hope its motivating and inspiring b/c a lot of what Shannie has said/done this year seems to have the opposite effect.

The Bidwills's also aren't known for dooling out large contracts for aging players, [or any player for that matter] With Minnesota's stadium situation being the way it is, Childress and the economy, may all serve to prevent Minn. from being an ideal location in the event a deal is not done here.

The market could be shrinking for McNabb depending of course on how he performs in the next eight games. The events of the last few weeks have done nothing to promote his value on the open market.
