Eagles trade McNabb to Redskins

By Don McKee

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
 After months of trying to trade Donovan McNabb, the Eagles finally found
the unlikeliest of destinations for the one-time franchise quarterback.

On Sunday night, the Birds sent the former No. 1 draft pick - a quarterback
who led them to five NFC championships and one Super Bowl - to the
divisional rival Washington Redskins for a pair of draft picks.

So not only is No. 5 not under center for the Eagles - they'll also have to
play against him twice a year.

The Eagles will receive a second-round pick (37th overall) in this month's
NFL draft and either a third- or fourth-round pick next year.

McNabb was selected to the Pro Bowl six times in his 11 seasons here and
owns the franchise record for passing yards. But his inability to win what
would be the team's first Super Bowl championship - plus his contract status
- made him expendable.

McNabb was due a $6.2 million roster bonus on May 5, a factor that may have
scared off some other suitors. He is due to make $5 million in salary this
fall, the final year of his contract.

Kevin Kolb, who has started two games in three seasons, becomes the starter.
Michael Vick is the current backup.
