The Minnesota Vikings have agreed in principle to trade for Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb, according to reports. Washington is set to receive a 2012 sixth round pick and a possible 2013 sixth round pick contingent on McNabb's performance. The deal is not yet finalized, and is reliant on 34-year old veteran agreeing to a substantial pay cut.
Donovan McNabb Conditionally Traded To Minnesota Vikings, According To Report
McNabb has been named to six Pro Bowls since being drafted with the second pick of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. In his 11 seasons with the team, the Chicago-native led the Eagles to five NFC Championship Games and an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIX.
After enduring a significant falling-out with Philadelphia during the 2010 offseason, McNabb was dealt to hated division rival, the Washington Redskins. He started the first 13 games of the season until his increasingly tumultuous relationship with coach Mike Shanahan led to an extremely public benching.
McNabb lands on a Minnesota team without a clear starter at the quarterback position, joining first round pick Christian Ponder and second-year youngster Joe Webb. Longtime Viking Tavaris Jackson signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday.
