Glazer: Redskins Trade Donovan McNabb To Vikings For A 6th Round Pick

by JasonB on Jul 26, 2011 11:34 PM EDT in LolSkins

I just have to break out the #lolskins tag. We knew this was going to be an ugly transaction for the Redskins and here it is. One year (well not one calender year) after trading a second and a fourth round pick to the Eagles for Donovan McNabb, Jay Glazer is reporting that the Redskins have agreed to send McNabb to the Vikings for a sixth round pick in 2012 and possibly another 6th in 2013 depending on performance.

If that's not bad enough, the whole deal is contingent on McNabb agreeing to a big pay cut. There's been no indication yet as to whether McNabb would be open to that and he could nix the deal. I suppose you could make the argument that it's not a terrible deal for the Redskins considering that the alternative is that he'd be cut for nothing... but there's no denying that this is just an awful return on their investment in McNabb.

And further, what a fall for Donovan McNabb. At this point his value is a 6th round pick, only if he agrees to play on the cheap. I know McNabb was somewhat controversial here, but did anyone predict that things would get this low for him when he left Philly?

Wow. He’s get traded for a 6th pick just so he can get chased around by Ndamukong Suh, Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers for 6 games. Good Luck Mcnabb. Keep Failing Redskins.

Can’t be any worse than getting chased around by Trent Cole, Justin Tuck, DeMarcus Ware, and Brian Orakpo over the last couple of years.

Was just over at the Daily Norsemen, and they are surprisingly against this move. A few of them want Ponder to start day 1.

Yeah, I can see that.

Many will want to see right away what hey have in Ponder. Trouble is, the historical evidence is not always good for those rookies starting right away. I would say to the Vikings fans to put up the ADD for awhile, let the kid learn from the sideline for a season or so.

LOL remember when Hogs Heaven was saying that we got the bad end of this deal a year ago. It makes you laugh SO HARD!

BUT you have to feel bad for McNabb.

If I’m McNabb I don’t accept the pay cut because there are a couple teams that he could start for still & not be there to keep the seat warm for a young guy like he would in Minny

McNabb: not a bad guy or a bad qb, just in the wrong system ! Hope he is successful with the Vikings.

Now that we got that out of the way, how soon do you think before McNabb gets Percy Harvin killed trying to catch one of his passes over the middle ??

I’m glad McNabb is going to be back on a team where he actually has a chance to win. He was the only Eagles QB I’d ever known until last year and I thank him for his time in Philly. I hope that he can return one day to finish his career and eventually have his number retired

I love it when the Eagles get rid of these guys and the rest of the league thinks they are like gold… (just between us, wait till the Cardinals find out that Kolb isn’t all that he is made out to be by Andy Reid and Co.), it’s so sweet, AJ Feeley for a 2nd, D Mac for a 2nd, and now Kolb for at least a 2nd and then some… can’t wait to trade Kafka for a first…

He’s joining a team that just spent the 12th overall pick on a QB? Sounds like he’s got another Kolb in waiting.

Up there with Randall,Dawk,Staley,Reggie,Westy,and others. It’s like 3am and I’m drawing a blank. He gave us more good memories than bad,and we should all respect that. Hope he stays healthy and does well on that carpet. I can see him rolling out to his right on a bootleg with Peterson picking up the blitz. Good luck 5. I still have your jerseys.

I hope Sidney Rice goes to Seattle so McNabb has no one to thrown too

He should have just went to the Raiders. Much more talent on that offense and he would have be a savior there regardless of what he did.
