Breaking News: Redskins add McNabb and raise expectations

By: Turner Sports Desk

My first thoughts were someone is really going overboard for April Fools but it is true. Donovan McNabb is a Washington Redskin. Up until now I spent most of the off season trying to figure out how the Redskins could make do with either Jason Campbell or a rookie QB.

Ladies and Gentleman the game has completely changed. If the Redskins can find a left tackle to protect McNabb they are now playoff contenders. Wait, did I just write that? I believe I did and now those words (playoff contenders) have validity.

How does a 4-12 team become a playoff contender with one addition? Actually it’s two additions. It is a pro-bowl Quarterback and a Hall of Fame Coach in Mike Shanahan. McNabb walks in the door as a subject matter expert on the west coast offense which accelerates the growth of everyone around him. Now instead of spoon feeding Jason Campbell or a rookie the Redskins are going to hit the ground running.

The deal sends the Redskins 37^th overall pick (2^nd rounder) and a 3^rd or 4^th round 2011 pick to the Eagles for a guy that is younger than Peyton Manning at 33, played in a Superbowl, five championship games and six pro-bowls. I often said Eagles fans didn’t know how great they had it with McNabb but I guess they are going to get a crash course in 2010.

What does this mean for Jason Campbell? Either the Redskins will keep him on board this year as a very nice backup option or they will trade him to one of the teams that inquired about his availability like Minnesota, St. Louis and Cleveland. McNabb was one of Campbell's mentors when he came into the league and it has been reported that one of the first calls McNabb made was to Jason. We know Campbell is a class act so no matter what happens to him he has earned the respect of Redskin fans. If he goes we will wish him well. If he stays we will have a quality backup.

What does this mean for the Redskins Draft? It appears the Redskins first round choice will be a left tackle to protect their All-Pro QB. The best on the board is Russell Okung, but he could go earlier than four. The good news is there are some really good tackles still available like Iowa’s Bryan Bulaga and Oklahoma’s Trent Williams. With the most important position on the field now solidified the Redskins can now turn their attention to tweaking other areas and getting more depth.

The Redskins made a huge move to put themselves back in the conversation of legit contenders. They also made this summer a lot more interesting.

I love it! For all you Philly fans that never gave Donovan the respect he deserves, I can't wait to cheer him as he whips you butts twice a year!

Wow! I must say i'm pretty shocked that they were willing to trade him within their own division.

It's pretty classy on the Eagles part to allow him to go to a rival when they could have easily let him go to the NFL cemetery in the Oakland Raiders.

McNabb is a game changer for the Skins. All of a sudden the Redskins and the NFC East just became interesting again.

Jim Turner [Web Site] Posted At 4/04/2010 09:15 PM

As a Giants fan, I hate McNabb. This is a big move for the Redskins however and does make them contenders. The NFC East just got even crazier!
