The Roth Army is home to some of the most astute football fans it has ever been my pleasure to know. Having said that, does anyone here wanna take a crack at explaining this move?
Redskins agree to 5-year, $78 million contract extension with 34 Yr. Old Donovan McNabb
Chuck Schilken LA TIMES
Donovan McNabb may be having his worst season since his rookie year and he may have been benched in favor of Rex Grossman, of all people, but it now appears McNabb will be the Washington Redskins' quarterback for a long time.
McNabb has agreed to a five-year, $78-million contract extension with the Redskins, with $40 million guaranteed, according to his agent, Fletcher Smith.
ESPN was the first to report the deal Monday morning.
McNabb was benched late in the Redskins' Oct. 31 loss to the Detroit Lions, with Coach Mike Shanahan offering a variety of reasons for the move. Smith said the benching had nothing to do with the negotiations and that McNabb is “happy to be a Redskin.”
The 34-year-old McNabb has a passer rating of 76.0, his lowest since 1999.
