$40 million guaranteed. Amazing.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...e=HP_headlines
Pretty good deal for a 34 year old.
Yeah...He wont last that long in the NFL.
Age is a *****.
And people wonder why Washington is in the state they're in. :comedy:
Well I guess that's why they benched him the other game, so he could rest up to sign that huge contract.....
Unreal. Kelsay now McNabb.
He celebrated by throwing 3 INT's
This might be worse than the Kelsay extension.
For at least one day, we're not the dumbest franchise in the NFL.
He'll never see half that money.
McNabb due only 3.75 million if cut after 2010;

Yaa it is only 3.75 not 40 lol
that article is funny that owens calls mcnabb out.
it does seem that there are certain guys where the league just expects you to not be surprised byt the contract. mcnabb has never won a championship, has had a lot of injuries the last couple of years where he has missed time and is playing poorly on the redskins.
TO has been pretty consistent his entire career. his stats are great, and he's always been in great physical shape. If you read that he signa multi-year deal, you'd think the team is crazy. Regardless of the guaranteed money, just a multi-year deal alone would have you wondering what that team was thinking. but the truth is, he's more effect at his position at his age while being physically in shape to stay in games while mcnabb isn't.
mcnabb is a great guy, but he's not a guy you should commit 5 years to.
For some reason, the original article said $40 million guaranteed.Quote:

What a stupid statement. If it COULD pay McNabb $40 million, then it's not "guaranteed."
Yea should have waited before posted
McNabb's deal includes a $3.5 million signing bonus, paid in 2010, bringing his total compensation this season to $14.7 million. But it also has a provision that would allow the Redskins to release him after this season and get out of the contract.
It's virtually certain the Redskins will not release McNabb for several reasons -- they have no other starting-caliber quarterbacks, there could be a long lockout in 2011, they're already the oldest team in the NFL (so developing a young QB would be difficult) and they just gave McNabb $3.5 million in new money when they didn't have to do a thing.
If/when McNabb is on the roster at the start of 2011, he will get a $10 million option bonus. McNabb also has a $2.5 million salary in 2011 and $750,000 roster bonus. So he would make $13.25 million in 2011. In 2012 he has a $12.75 million base salary and $750,000 roster bonus, for a total of $13.5 million.
McNabb's salaries in 2011 through 2014 are guaranteed for injury, for a total of $35 million (which, combined with the $3.5 million signing bonus, yields the total of $38 million-plus guaranteed). The contract is not guaranteed for skill, however, other than on a yearly basis, as has been the case in many recent extensions.
The greatest likelihood, given McNabb's age (34) and the Redskins' quarterback situation, is he ends up playing in Washington at least through 2012, in which case he will have been paid $41.5 million for three seasons, for an average of almost $14 million per season.

Way to reward mediocrity! Shannahan will see that he is NO John Elway.
