Was McNally the one who nixed the Shelton deal?

From John Claytons draft report

........................Now, he's stuck with Henry, who will probably hold out. Donahoe liked Shelton to a certain degree but Bills coaches didn't. In the end, the Bills didn't get value and have a distraction in Henry, and they might lose him and get nothing in return after the 2005 season, when his contract is up.

Clayton: No deal

It was supposed to be a wild NFL draft featuring big trades and big names being moved. But then the trade market crashed.

It sounds like it was McNally with MM's support.

Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

If McNally doesn't want him then let's all thank our lucky stars the deal wasn't done.
