Redskins and McNabb agree to 5 year extension

[Rush]

Grossman > McNabb

 

[manchild24]

get the fuck out Rush. McNabb will forget more then Grossman will ever know or do. He was good in college in the wide open offense.

 

[manchild24]

I agree but thats neither here nor there. Seems like you Redskins fans are hanging on what McNabb did to you all in an Eagles uniform as if his 1st 8 games in burgundy and gols is non existent. He has been a bum this year plain and simple. 40 mill? Really? For what?

no knows exactly how much the guarentee is anywhere from 10 to 40

Man I was way off.

Supposedly, it only costs Washington under $4 million if they decide to cut him at the end of this season.

That would be some cold blooded shit.

Here's the breakdown. I don't know why Donovan would sign for this.

It says if he suffers a career ending injury he gets about $25 million. McNabb better get to work on blowing out both of his knees.

 

[jeffx]

Don't you think Donovan would get a better deal(from another team) if he waited until the off-season?

 

[manchild24]

Here is how the rest of the full deal breaks down, according to an NFLPA source:

• 2010: $3.5 million signing bonus/$250,000 if active eight games

• 2011: $10 million option bonus/$2.5 million salary/$750,000 if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2012: $12.75 million salary/$750,000 if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2013: $13 million salary/$1.5 million if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2014: $13.75 million salary/$3 million if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

• 2015: $13.55 million salary/$2.25 million if active 16 games/$250,000 workout/$2 million possible playoff incentives

Yeah and I have a feeling that's what they're going to do to him.....

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

i dont blame McNabb for anything..........
he still can play the game. its not his fault he doesnt have an O-Line or an elite WR. nor does he have a backfield.....
Portis?? really?? he hasnt done shit since his 1st year as a Redskin.
S. Moss?? really?? - Randy Moss can outplay him with one arm tied behind his back.
Cooley?? really?? - how long before the other teams need to figure out the TE screens....

i said the same thing when Campbell was a starter.....not his fault.

and i mean really now.....not many players would hesitate signing a deal like that. its $$$$$ !!!
he had nothing to lose. he is probably laughing all the way to the bank anyway

i don't think so. I think people in general and McNabb in particular were surprised when the Eagles made McNabb available and there wasn't much of a rush by the other NFL teams to acquire him. Kind of like when Meshawn Johnson would bounce around from team to team, generating less and less interest each time he moved, until eventually no one wanted him anymore.

Donovan fires back at T.O.

Last night, Bengals receiver Terrell Owens called out Redskins quarterback (and former Eagles teammate) Donovan McNabb.

“How do you justify a 78 million dollar contract w/this type of performance?” Owens said via Twitter, after McNabb threw three interceptions in a 59-28 loss to the Eagles. (In T.O.’s defense, he didn’t realize that it was only a $3.5 million contract at the time.)

On Tuesday, McNabb responded.

“It’s unbelievable how they can comment on what I’m doing over here?” McNabb said, per Chris Russell of ESPN 980. McNabb also pointed out that the Bengals are 2-7, and that Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer makes more money than McNabb.

Coincidentally, The T.Ocho Show airs tonight. Look for Owens to offer up a reply, especially since the alternative is to spend time talking about how he alligator-armed and two-hand-touched his way through Sunday’s lost to the Colts.

Well that's just wrong.

First, he was about to turn 35-years old when the Panthers cut him. It's not like he bounced around by the time he was 28 and nobody wanted him. Fucker was old. And even after he announced his retirement, the Dolphins and Titans wanted to sign him.

A possession WR of his caliber should play more than 11 seasons. He was a good (albeit overrated) player, but his career is a "what could have been". A lot of fanfare coming out of college, less fanfare when he was jettisoned from NYJ to Tampa, less fanfare when he was suspended from Tampa and traded to Dallas, less fanfare when he was released by Dallas and signed by Carolina, and then virtually no coverage of his retirement. Nobody really cared.

Not only that, but deal him to a hated division rival. That tells you what Andy Reid thought of Donovan's skills. Still, I figured McNabb would wait until the off-season and go to a team like Arizona. Right now their QB situation is a mess.

Even though he didn't catch as many TDs as an elite receiver would, he had a great career.

Funny how his best statistical year in receptions and yards (100+ and 1200+) was a year he only caught 1 TD...how does that happen? That Bucco offense in 2001 must have been an eyesore.

I would stop short of saying he had a great career. He had 3 pro bowls, 4 seasons of over 1000 yards...nice, but not really "great" IMO. His career was very similar to Muhsin Muhammad. When I saw Meshawn play for the Jets, I thought he was tough and had some of the best hands in the NFL. But as time went on, he lost his toughness, became more of a problem, his hands got steadily worse, and he developed a penchant for fumbling.

Funny how his best statistical year in receptions and yards (100+ and 1200+) was a year he only caught 1 TD...how does that happen? That Bucco offense in 2001 must have been an eyesore.

I remember that during the year the commentators would always mention that Meshawn only had 1 TD all year...Meshawn would make 5 catches on a drive to get the ball to the goal-line, then he would drop 3 straight passes in the end zone. I never figured it out.
