So in return for a 2010 second round pick (37th overall) and a conditional 3rd or fourth rounder in 2011, the Redskins have acquired the 11 year Eagles starter, Donovan McNabb.
The Redskins seem to be in a "win this year or bust" kind of mode. Theyve cut a few young guys, and have brought in seasoned veterans like ex Steelers RB Willie Parker and ex Chiefs RB Larry Johnson. The Redskins still havent done anything with the unit that has failed the last two years-offensive line.
If McNabb doesnt have an offensive line to protect him, hes not going to do better than Jason Campbell. Hes going to get injured, and then Rex Grossman (shudder) will be the starter.
However, if McNabb has a decent offensive line, he can have a great year if he puts his mind to it. He has proven he can win with sub par talent around him. His biggest point of shame in Philly was that he couldnt win a Super Bowl. In Washington, if he leads up to the NFC Championship Game, like he did in Philly 5 times, he will be accepted.
Malcolm Kelly has already said McNabb is the team leader. Meanwhile the ever-shunned Jason Campbell has left voluntary offseason conditioning. Jason Campbell is really tricky. He is a restricted free agent. The Redskins have a first round tender offered, which means if he leaves the Redskins and signs with another team, that team owes the Redskins a first rounder.
It is most likely, with Rex Grossman already on the roster, that Campbell will be traded for a third or fourth round pick.
As a die hard skins fan, I hope this works. But, seeing the teams luck lately with big name veterans (Jason Taylor and Albert Haynesworth), Im not too optimistic
