The Real McNabb Deadline is May 5

84

"The conclusion: the Eagles must find a team willing to rent McNabb for $11 million for a season by May 5, and give up more than a late third-round pick for that option. Or a team that loses a quarterback to injury after May 5 could rent McNabb for the prorated amount of his $5 million base salary for 2010. That’s why it is unlikely that any deal for McNabb would take place before May 5, unless a rogue team like the Raiders or Redskins decide to fork over the $11 million instead of waiting five weeks to make a deal. Expect the drama to continue about Donovan McNabb and the Eagles into May."
