Agent: $78M deal for Donovan McNabb

ESPN.com news services

The Washington Redskins and quarterback Donovan McNabb have agreed to a contract extension.

McNabb's agent, Fletcher Smith, told The Associated Press that the extension is worth $78 million over five years, with $40 million of the deal guaranteed. A source told ESPN NFL Insider Michael Smith, who first reported the agreement, that McNabb's contract could be worth $88 million if incentives in the contract are reached.

McNabb, who will turn 34 later this month, agreed to an extension just two weeks after he was benched at the end of a loss to the Lions because coach Mike Shanahan said the quarterback didn't have a grasp of the team's 2-minute offense.

35-7 in second quarter? Redskins could have saved 20 million had they waited one day

You did. Vick is spankin that ass.

Wasn't quite expecting 35-0 at the beginning of the 2nd quarter; to be honest with you. :-)

Of course, now the big comeback is underway...

I turned it off because it was so bad. I wouldn't be surprised if McNabb is pulled again.

This proof that the owner Snyder has truly “too much money”. Why doesn’t the moron hire someone good, young and consistent? The only explanation is that he is a LIB and voted for nobama.

Liberal jabs? What the hell are you talking about? Am I somehow inaccurate that McNabb is unpopular among Freepers? He is never mentioned on a football thread without at least half the posters running him down.

And I, too, think this contract was crazy - for both parties. As I said before, I don’t know why the Redskins would sign a 34-year-old quarterback with injury issues to a five year contract.

I also don’t know why McNabb would want to spend the rest of his career with an organization like the Redskins. Or for that matter I don’t know why he wants to continue to play for a coach like Shanahan. I guess he hasn’t talked to Brian Griese or Jake Plummer lately.

Jerry Jones has more problems than he can say grace over but I imagine he had to smile when little Danny boy pulled the trigger on spending that kind of money on McNabb. Hard to imagine what the Redskins were thinking with that move but it sure eases the pain of this Cowboys fan over our dismal season.

Jerry is a great owner, he just sucks as a GM.
