The McNabb Sweepstakes
John Clayton reviews the teams and rationale for each vying for the McNabb-sweepstakes if the Eagles do decide to move him this off-season (which Clayton doesn’t think they should). Clayton lists the two obvious suitors, Chicago and Minnesota, but adds the wild card of Baltimore. Clayton also places McNabb’s trade value as a 2nd and 3rd round picks, or two 2nd rounders in consecutive years – a far cry from the reported 3 #1’s the Eagles were seeking in any mid-season trade earlier this year.
But for the McNabb-haters who think #5 is washed up and will never win a championship, Clayton argues that any team that acquires McNabb from the Eagles will seriously upgrade themselves, “the team that acquires McNabb becomes an automatic playoff contender and a top TV attraction.” Clayton doesn’t carry the logic any farther, but it’s also clear that the Eagles will have downgraded their QB position if they let McNabb go. Just something to think about.
