Source:McNabb to ask for release after season.

[T.O.Killa]

The fact that he is under contract until the first week of the season bodes very well for our chances of trading him. We probably can expect, at best a 3rd and at worst a 5th, assuming he is willing to take a pay cut. If he does not the Redskins will release him right at the last minute.

I think that was a shrewd contractual move by Bruce Allen, don't you think? Vinny could have never been that creative or forward thinking.

A belated attempt at rectifying his original mistake of making such a trade. The handwriting was on the wall long before he decided to go that route.

I think you hit the nail on the head. They knew several games into the season that Donovan was not the answer. I would further suggest that McNabb knew he was exposed by his laid back attitude and lack of urgency.

But Vinny would not have been that calculating. It actually gives us some relief should we decide to get rid of him.
