McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)

It means they don't take us seriously. Nor do they feel that McNabb is a threat to them.

I'm not buying that.

I think they understand the risk they are taking, but Reid wouldn't trade him somewhere he didn't want to go.

Then Reid and the Eagles entire front off are stupid little shits. They would allow their franchise QB to go to a team in their division because thats where the player wanted to go. BS Why would you put your franchise at second fiddle to the guy your letting go. That is also a slap in the face to the other players and fans if they think McNabb has a few more good years. So either they are stupid or they think McNabb is a none factor.

I still think this move was more the Eagles FO rather than Reid.

It's been said a million times in each thread that no team was going to trade for McNabb unless he'd sign an extension with them. Sure there were teams interested but McNabb held the trump card.

Thats fine but if someone think that Reid did this for McNabb then I have a nice bridge for sale.

Yeah, I mean personally I think that he wanted McNabb to go to somewhere good for him, but obviously Reid's choice wouldn't have been Washington. Reid may know he's on thin ice and soon to be out of the division too.

Reid wanted McNabb to stay in Philly, now his career is on Kevin Kolb's shoulder. And I doubt they'll have the same success he's had with McNabb in the past two seasons.

more like McNabb held the upper hand but Reid didn't mind all that much

McNabb (well his agent) would basically say hey, you trade for me and I'm not negotiating a new deal.. the other teams were like well the asking price isn't worth it for just a year

the only other choice they had would be to keep McNabb and get a compensatory pick for him after the year.. Kolb wasn't going to sign an extension without being the starter and you'd better believe that he'll be extended before even the first pre-season game
