Phili Deals McNabb To Washington

Posted on 06. Apr, 2010 by Rauch in Fantasy Football News

As initially reported by Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com, the Washington Redskins sent their 2010 2nd round pick (#37 overall in this years NFL Draft) and a 3rd or 4th round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft to the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade for QB Donovan McNabb.

Washington made no contract extension offer to McNabb (he is in the last year of his current contract) as a part of getting the deal done. Even though the Redskins looked to be a late entry into the McNabb sweepstakes, their willingness to offer up a Top 40 pick in this years NFL Draft was apparently enough to get Philladelphia to pull the trigger.

My Take:
This is a great deal for both sides. Phili gets a very high pick for a player they were going to have to let walk after the season given the way Kolb preformed last year. And Washington finally gets a top flight QB...and one who's used to working with less than sperb wide receivers.

Fantasy Impact:
Consider both McNabb and Kolb #1 QB's in leagues of 12 or less teams.
