The Philadelphia Eagles traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins for a 2010 second round pick ( 37 overall) and a 3rd or 4th round pick in the 2011 draft.
First reaction...Eagles how could you be so stupid. Second reaction...Eagles how could you be so stupid to trade away your teams best player and leader. I don't know why the Eagles decided to trade McNabb and not Kolb, who is a quarterback that show promise but is not proven. The Eagles were looking for a top 42 pick in this years draft for McNabb and got it with the Redskins.
If i was an Eagles fan (thank goodness im not) I would wake up and be furious at this. The Eagles just went from contender in the NFC East to bottom dweller, I don't see how the Eagles will win over 6 games next year with Kolb at the helm.
All the other NFC East teams got better in the off-season and the Eagles did not. I don't know if they were just tired of him teasing the Eagles and getting them just to the NFC Championship for four years in a row and not winning a Super Bowl. Whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter cause Eagles will be down for 5 years at minimum.
This trade just put the Redskins as a major contender to the Cowboys and might have put them as the front runner for the division.
