Great news for Patriots fans!
Filed to ESPN: Donovan McNabb has been traded to the Washington Redskins. Compensation still unknown. But McNabb's a Redskin.

Smart move by Shanahan to get an experienced QB and save the 4th pick for something else. Bad news the rest of the NFC East.

Excellent news!
Our 2011 first round pick just jumped up 8-10 spots!
Jesus: Andy Reid just put Kevin Kolb's head on a block. Got Pressure?

This is a very good trade for the Skins, Shanahan will make mcnab better. They need a few WRs now, I'm sure Jerry Jones will be doing some sort of trade before the draft. he can't help himself, he has to be the center of attention.

Indeed, this was an underrated storyline for Pats fans, although I think the Raiders were hoping that McNabb would be able to teach JaMarcus Russell how to play QB.

2nd rounder in this draft, and a 3rd and 4th next year. I am glad he didnt go to the raiders.

No, no -- Kolb is their guy! I dunno... he'd better produce or those Philly fans will defile his wife and eat his children. Those guys make Pats fans look like Wimbledon-ers.

Great news for PATS! Great pickup for Shanahan.
Kolb is going to be a better QB than most people think. In his first start against NO he threw for 391 yards, 2 TDs, and three Int. The next week he throws for 327 yards, 2 TD, 70% comp, and 120 qb rating. It was against KC but i think hes going to be ok.

I think Kolb is going to be a good quarterback. Good move for both teams.

Why trade your borderline FHOF QB to your divisional rival? What next, the Pats will trade Brady to the Bills?
I think this means that the Skins might go after Dez Bryant in round 1 to get McNabb a WR or they trade with the Patriots their 2nd and 3rd for our pick 22, and draft Tate.

Al Davis and Dan Snyder competing. Hmmm. I'd say it's the blind leading the blind. And now, Snyder has to pay McNabb. Good luck.

My guess is the only reason they traded McNabb to a divisonal rivial is because the Redskins were the only team that would trade what the Eagles were looking for. I can't see any other reason to trade within the division. Kind of reminds me of Bledsoe's trade to Buffalol
The Redskins got a lot better with that trade! I am sure Shannahan is glad to have McNabb over Campbell. They have the" running back by committee" and a low first round pick
The Philly fans will regret never being happy enough with McNabb.

I think REdskins have pulled off a great deal! They get a QB, can draft McCoy/Suh at #4. And use the other choices to build up the team.

That's a trade that takes some bawls to make. Think it helps the Skins and not so sure it's a bad thing for the Eagles at this point. Philly must think McNabb's nearing the end to pull this one off -- sort of like BB fleecing the Bills for Bledsoe.

Great news, not that I'm a big McNab fan, but with Russel still in there we're looking at top 8 pick. Plus now that Seymore is a year removed from the trade, you gotta think his anger and motivation will be down.

The trading of McNabb to the Skins doesn't effect the Patriots. However it does effect the Skins draft,with the acquisition of McNabb the Skins won't be looking for a QB early in this draft. They better find him someone to throw the ball to!

The majority of Eagles fans make me laugh.... They did not like McNabb and were disappointed in him as their QB, but now that he is traded those fans are annoyed and ticked off that was traded!

eagles fans are dumb... mcnabb was the first QB to ever take them to the big game, the best QB they've ever had!!... if mcnabb was a patriot he would have multiple rings already... sending him the skins where doug williams(black Qb) is beloved and the fanatics(take notes fellow pats fan even when they're losing the fans are enthused) will wholeheartly embrace him is andy reid showing him some love

Since the redskins got DM there gonna need some bodys to protect him, their line was swiss cheese last year with all the injuries to Chris samuels(he retired bc of it) and they released randy thomas bc he was injured most of the year.. So i would be surprised if they selected anything other than an OL with thier first pick. perhaps a tackle like Okung.
