Against the run of play, The Washington Redskins have signed quarterback Donovan McNabb to a 5-year, $78-million contract extension, with $40-million guaranteed!
The contract comes as a complete shock. Two weeks ago Redskins coach Mike Shanahan benched McNabb in favor of Rex Grossman for a game-ending drive.
Many felt that was the beginning of the end for McNabb in Washington.
But what figured to seal his fate, was McNabb's poor play in 2010. He's on pace for a career high in interceptions, and only once since his rookie season has he posted a completion percentage this low. The Redskins had to have expected more than a 4-4 record when they traded two draft picks to acquire the longtime Eagles quarterback this offseason.
Instead, the Redskins committed millions of dollars and half a decade to McNabb. And that's more than most would surrender to a struggling quarterback who turns 34 later this month.
donovan mcnabb, you're my new found hero!
