FlipBoardThe Washington Redskins just signed Donovan McNabb to a $75 million extension after a short day of face-to-face negotiations. McNabb ranks 15th in passing yards (1,971), 26th in touchdown passes (7) and 28th in quarterback rating (78.0), whatever the hell that is.
[The extension] could be worth up to $88 million with incentives, a source with knowledge of the agreement told ESPN NFL Insider Michael Smith.
The source said $40 million of the deal will be guaranteed.
McNabb’s agent, Fletcher Smith, started his own player representation firm in 2008. And this isn’t the first time that Smith has scored a raise for his star client after a benching. When McNabb was sent to the pine in 2008 in lieu of Kevin Kolb, Smith negotiated a $5.3 million raise for McNabb the following offseason.
Whether McNabb gets paid for that entire deal or not [Spoiler Alert: he won’t], it’s still a nice win for a quarterback that was torn to shreds in the media by his head coach just days earlier, but really, I have to tip my tattered newsie cap to Fletcher Smith. That dude could sell birth control to a school bus full of nuns. Why are the nuns always in a school bus, anyway? You’d think they could afford their own bus, or at least one of those big vans.
As a Redskins fan, someone really needs to explain what the fucking point was behind the last two weeks of media shit if they were just going to do this anyway.
Rex Grossman must be licking his chops too…his 2-minute offense knowledge should get him at least 100 MILLION DOLLARS
Redskins are a goddamn joke and will always be mediocre until Snyder sells the team or is finally murdered then sodomized by an angry mob of fans. A McNabb extension proves Al Davis isn’t the worst fuck-up in the NFL, smell ya later Redskins, smell ya later forever.
Looks like he and his new contract have already been back to school shopping. Seriously- is there a fucking slingshot in the back pocket of those????
