McNabbHow about some gigantic, colossal, blockbuster breaking football news to close out your Easter Sunday? ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles have nearly completed arrangements on a trade that will send six-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb to Washington in exchange for draft picks, likely a second-round pick in this year’s draft and another selection next season. Obviously, some very big news that poses a ton of questions with still months before the regular season kicks off. Will Jason Campbell remain with the team as McNabb’s backup? (We can’t imagine Campbell’s too pleased with the news; Examiner reporter John Keim notes that Campbell wasn’t even informed about the trade until he contacted him for comment. Ouch.) Will McNabb continue to wear number 5 in Washington? (Dan Steinberg tweets that he probably shouldn’t.) In what direction will the Redskins go with the fourth pick in the draft, now that the quarterback position has been filled? Most importantly, will Redskins faithful actually be able to root for a quarterback that they’ve booed lustily for ten-plus years? That’s just scratching the surface — we can’t even begin to imagine what this will do to the collective psyche of Philadelphia fans — of the fallout to come from what is likely one of the biggest NFL trades, well, ever.
