DeadExField Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 pretty vanilla at this point, hopefully we can trade him before the trade to gather an extra pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailRiggoRanger Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 There's no chance they release him outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Fine with me, let's just get something for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 The CBA negotiations is going to **** this up for the 'Skins. It's my understanding that no trades are possible right now. So, until there is a new CBA in place, the only options the 'Skins have are to keep McNabb or to release him. As much as they would love to trade him, at the moment, due to circumstances outside of their control, they just can't. Unless they just hold onto him until there is a new CBA, and then trade him for 2012 draft picks. Given what I've read and my general feeling about both parties, I don't think that there's going to be a FA/Trade period before the draft. That really really screws the 'Skins with McNabb, possibly AH (who might have zero trade value at this point anyway), and maybe some of the other players they wouldn't mind trading for picks.

RWJ Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think Shanny is hoping to trade McNabb during the draft for a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgizzy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 If the CBA drags out till August or later, it screws the Skins and McNabb. The skins can't trade Mcnabb till a CBA is reached, and probably no one will trade for him if he can't go thru a training camp with his new team. So the Skins are screwed and will be forced to release him for nothing. McNabb will end up being released and not get his bonus, and most likely won't have the time to get a starting QB job either. So, he is screwed too considering his playing clock is ticking.. Bad situation for all parties involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonePatron Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I dont understand why we couldnt trade him now. If guys are signing contracts , working out FAs, the Combine and the Draft, Whats the biggie? Send him To Arizona for a 3rd/4th, get Gabbert at ten. Donovan Mcnabb will just be another painful reminder of our beloved Redskins. Oh Well least we tried something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Smith Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hopefully we can get some future pick(s) for him, even if it's not much. Kinda like with Campbell. Better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins55 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Maaan this is a big cluster F@#^! Lost two picks to trade for him, cant trade him for draft picks because there's no CBA, and if we dont release him knowing that we dont want him it alienates the team again..Because we're holding a well respected veteran QB, hostage! I just cant believe Shanahan took a leaking ship and crashed it into an iceberg before trying to repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 There's no chance they release him outright. this is the redskins we are talking about here. we may actually find a way to give up draft picks to release him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Well least we tried something You cannot trade players without a CBA in place, nor can their be OTA's, training camp, or trading players for picks. The only thing teams can do right now is release players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 There's no chance they release him outright. I think there's a very good chance. Coaches watch film. McNabb is nowhere near a franchise Qb yet he has a franchise QB contract. And the Shanahans are clearly done with the guy. They benched him for Rex twice. I think there's a decent chance McNabb isn't even starting in the NFL at the beginning of next season. Saw a report out of the combine that said lots of coaches think this. We have to find a sucker. If not, we'll cut him outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dump McNabb, another team picks him up. Some team will be willing to trade a late rounder for him; the Redskins just need to be patient and keep him through preseason, if necessary.

I just cant believe Shanahan took a leaking ship and crashed it into an iceberg before trying to repair it. Maybe Shanny's taking the approach of wrecking the ship badly, just to test what is sturdy enough to keep. I tried it with my waverunner, unfortunately its at the bottom of a bayou right now...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I don't think Fletcher Smith is doing us any favors by diminishing McNabb's trade value even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
