The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... A source with knowledge of the discussions tells us that, while a trade for McNabb may indeed happen, the report of a deal being in place between the Vikings and Redskins is premature. Per the source, no agreement has been reached on the compensation the Redskins would receive.
Diehards Line:Earlier today, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the Vikings are “one of a few teams” talking to the Redskins about a trade forMcNabb. Not long thereafter, Jason LaCanfora of NFL Network reported that the Vikings and the Redskins have worked out the terms of a trade, subject to McNabb restructuring his contract. ... So it sounds like it's close but not quite there. And we're with PFT's Mike Florio, who isn't sure that McNabb would be the right fit in Minnesota. How will he react if the Vikings start 2-5 and the team decides to switch to Christian Ponder? It's also not clear if McNabb would be willing to reduce his pay this year to facilitate the trade.
