McNabb may work for Honda.

Minn was a choice when Childress was there but I don't think so now.

Why? Two highly distinguished coaches have now told him "no thanks". Why can't fans?

ARI, MIN and SF are the most logical guesses.
But all I can say for sure is not Washington and not Philly.

On a more serious note did anybody actually think the Redskins were going to pay him all that money over the next couple years? He's done being a relevant QB. His options are to retire, be a backup, or be the starter for some awful team (SF, CAR, ARZ) only to get benched in the next 1-2 yrs by their up and coming QB.

With how he's played this year and as a Rams fan I hope it's SF also!!

Who wants to go there? I see AZ, Minny or SF as the obvious choices. Not so obvious would be Seattle, Miami, Cincinnati and Tennessee.

With Carolina's running game and good defense, I could see McNabb having a lot of success there. They might not be so awful if they had a QB and McNabb could be the guy.

I was wondering the same thing. Will teams still be willing to throw a lot of guaranteed money his way and for how many years? He will turn 35 next November.

Thinking stopgap bridge at his point. Two teams in two years do not discard a "franchise type" QB.

If shanahan is still the skins coach, i can see arizona, carolina or something. Sadly he will still be the coach considering his 7m per year contract

And that's why I'm thinking he might end up in a place that doesn't seem logical now.Free agency opens (if there's a CBA) and he overplays his hand.Teams look forward to the QB-rich draft.He doesn't find a landing spot until May-June at ???
Kurt Warner cut by Rams and Giants in consecutive years seemed to do alright as a "franchise type" QB for the Cardinals.He was not discarded by Philly. They had a young QB they had been mentoring and a proven backup in Vick. Add in they wanted to extend Kolb when they already had a lot of money tied into Donovan and Vick and getting a second and 3rd or 4th round pick for Mcnabb hardly seems like discarding him. That's just a good football decision.Washington would have been a horrible fit for any QB this year. Santana Moss is the primary offensive receiving weapon, for a chunk of the season they trotted out Joey Galloway as the #2 WR, the running game has been poor and the pass protection might the worst in the league. Add in that Mcnabb's main weakness has always been his accuracy and this system stresses accuracy it could not have been a much more horrible fit for Mcnabb.

McNabb is clearly on the downside of his career, but he still has a cannon for an arm and great pocket presence. He's better than half the QBs starting right now. And people need to stop crying over his 58% completion percentage, he's never been that accurate of a QB. His career average is 59%. The CFL is for the likes of JaMarcus Russel and Ryan Leaf, not McNabb.
Amused to Death

And yet the Eagles had an unproven 4th guy in Kolb, a reclamation project in Vick, and rookie and traded McNabb with a year left on his contract. Now the Redskins have a desperate need for a QB and kick him to the curb.To say CFL is clearly an exaggeration, but how much a team is willing to commit to him is big question right now.

To the OP - I'd say >50% he goes to Arizona.
He trains in the off-season there and he knows Fitzgerald I believe.
He'll hold down the job while either Skelton or another rookie they draft next year gets ready for 2012.
A one-year deal with AZ and Fitz should make McNabb a hot commodity for 2012 as well - assuming he still "has it" - which is debatable.
I don't think he'll get a multi-year deal anywhere so this might be his best bet.

Jeff, this might be logical and I used to think the same, BUT it is pretty clear down here that Whiz, Graves, and the Bidwills don't feel that way. Ultimately it might be up to Whisenhunt alone but McNabb has never played in this system.I do think that unless Skelton is really, really good in the next three games they will try and find the one year, veteran, mentor QB - they wanted Bulger to do that this year but waited too long for it to be a real consideration, but I think he is on a one year deal, so maybe that resurfaces......
AZ, SF and Minny seem like the usual suspects but I think the Jets should not be ignored. It's an aggressive FO and unlike in Washington it's a style that can fit Mcnabb especially if they bring back both Holmes and Braylon as both of those players are ideally suited to play to Mcnabbs strength which is the deep passing game.

^ I can't see them benching Sanchez.
Dizzy
Footballguy
I agree with you... he's done in DC.My guess is he'll enter 2011 as a back-up... maybe on a contender hoping this last whistle-stop can bring him a ring... somewhere nobody is talking about right now (IND, ATL, DAL... could be anywhere).
Why not? They already discussed benching him last week. Jets surrounded him with weapons and the only thing he really improved on this year was cutting down on the pics. Sanchez at worst is not very good and at best is just not ready yet but the Jets can't afford to keep waiting on him as they constructed a team designed to try and win in the short term. I don't know if it will be Mcnabb or not but I feel pretty sure the Jets will explore adding a veteran QB to compete with Sanchez or to simply take the job for the next year or two while they continue to try and develop Sanchez. At this point in time the QB position is crippling the Jets and I don't think they will enter the season next year putting any trust in Sanchez to be their guy.delusional said:

This one came to me in a dream last night, and I kinda like it for both sides.
McNabb and a 1st-round pick in 2012 to the Bears in exchange for Cutler!
Washington has to throw in the 1st-rounder, mainly because Cutler is 6+ years younger than McNabb. Donovan gets to finish his career in his hometown, and the fans in the windy city would love his toughness and blue-collar work ethic. I don't think most Bears fans can stomach the thought of Cutler being their QB any longer. McNabb could have another four years in him in the right system and he's no stranger to making quick reads in Reid's offense, similar to what he'd have to do with Martz. But even if he is a total flop with the Bears, Chicago has Washington's 1st-round pick the following year in order to go get a potential franchise QB.
Meanwhile, Cutler is reunited with Shanahan. The pair worked very well together in Denver; now they pair up to rebuild the Skins.
Let's make it happen!

I like your thinking.The Bears could even take their future franchise QB this year with their end of the 1st round pick, if the guy they liked was there. He would sit on the bench this year, and then, depending on how McNabb played, maybe one more year.This one came to me in a dream last night, and I kinda like it for both sides.

They could then use the skins pick next year to fill some other need.
I guess it all depends on what the Bears think they have in Cutler, and how much Shanahan would want to get Cutler.

Crabtree has good hands. He should be able to field bounce passes pretty flawlessly.
A more serious response: Cutler got a big extension a year and a half ago, from a $$$ standpoint he's probably going to be tough to trade.Raider Nation said:This one came to me in a dream last night, and I kinda like it for both sides.

If the Bears then deal a 2nd/3rd rounder for Orton, then we're in business.Raider Nation said:This one came to me in a dream last night, and I kinda like it for both sides.

Nope. I really hope he doesn't go to the Niners. I'd rather they go after Kolb or Orton instead of McNabb.Dr. Awesome said:

I love how all McNabb to AZ speculation is predicated around where he works out. I wouldn't mind McNabb in AZ but will be shocked if it happens. WCO guy with work ethic questions, not a "Whiz guy". <10% he goes to AZ.Minnesota makes more sense, Cincinnati is my pure speculation guess.

Carolina might be a good spot too - they have to want some better QB play, not much doubt McNabb is better then what they have

Don't try to talk facts with them. People are convinced McNabb is a horrible QB, and will never be talked out of it. I gave up years ago.

If the Eagles do trade Kolb, McNabb would actually be an excellent back-up fit for the Eagles. He knows the system, the players, and the
fans probably won't be clamoring for McNabb to go in if Vick struggles at all.
Of Course, McNabb will want to start, but if the right team doesn't want him, he may end up having to start on a rebuilding team rather than on a contender. He would have to weigh which is better, back-up on a contender, or starting for a mediocre team.
There's also the possibility that the Eagles may want nothing to do with McNabb at this point, just because of the drama it might create. I can understand
that. I just hope that doesn't leave them with a back-up similar to Mike McMahon (if Kolb is traded).
