The Facts: The report from several hours ago that the Vikings and Redskins had agreed to terms on a trade for McNabb was indeed premature. But we pointed out that the deal could still happen, and happen it will. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports the Redskins have agreed to send McNabb to Minnesota for a sixth-round pick in 2012 and a conditional sixth-round pick in 2013. Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel also reports that the two teams have reached an agreement, with the compensation being a late-round pick.

Diehards Line:That still leaves McNabb’s willingness to restructure his contract as a sticking point. Glazer reports that McNabb would receive far less compensation than the $12.5 million he was due to receive in Washington. In Minnesota, he’d presumably hold the starting job unless and until Christian Ponder is ready to go -- or until the team is struggling to the point where it makes sense for the Vikings to get Ponder some live reps. It's hard to picture McNabb being okay with that but time will tell.
