Even as he heads into the final year of his contract, and a season in which he’ll turn 34 years old, Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb insists that he’s thinking about the long term.
“I’ll be here with the Redskins for years,” McNabb told NBC Washington’s Dan Hellie, via Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post. “We’ve both said it, I’ve said it, they’ve said it. I want to be a Redskin. I want to be a Redskin. Just like I was an Eagle for years, I want to be a Redskin. I want to finish my career here. There’s a lot of exciting things that are ahead of us here, there’s a lot of talent here, and I think good things can happen here in Washington.”
McNabb’s comments echo those of Redskins G.M. Bruce Allen. But the truth is that until there’s a contract in place, neither McNabb nor Allen can say with any confidence how long McNabb will stay with the Redskins.
For that matter, until there’s a new Collective Bargaining Agreement in place, no one in the NFL can say much of anything with any confidence beyond 2010. McNabb acknowledged the possibility of a lockout in 2011 and said he might have to play for the NBA’s Washington Wizards next year.
That doesn’t sound like a very realistic fallback option. Of course, McNabb, who played college basketball at Syracuse, has a better chance of making it to the NBA than Brandon Marshall, who also claims he’ll play in the NBA if there’s a lockout.
This is great news for Cowboy fans
He did shit in Philly and he will do shit in Washington
The NFCE is the Cowboys to lose. Between the Gint, Giggles and Skins….not one of those teams is a complete team and none of them could hold Romo’s jock
2 seasons … that’s still ‘years’.
I don’t think these NFL players realize that the NBA is going to have its own lockout next year.
And then in true McNabb fashion, he asked for more weapons, had his mommy write a blog telling the world how great a basketball player he is, had his dad bring out the HS DVD’s of his set shot, threw a pass that hit the ground, puked and asked for more money…
An interesting prop bet would be who has the better chance of being in D.C. come 2013, McNabb or Obama. I’d take McNabb on that one.
Better chance to win a SB there tha Philly.
Shanny knows how to win the big game, Reid is still wondering how.
Damn McNabb. Join the Redskins, join the Eagles, join the freakin Kings of Leon. You still aren’t going to the hall.
2010 – Washington
2011 – Lockout
2012 – Minnesota
2013 – Minnesota
2014 – Awful overnight radio show on Fox Sports Radio
Yeah McNabb didnt do anything for Philly, only 5 NFC championship games, and a Superbowl appearance. While the Cowboys, have won exactly 1 playoff game in that time, same amount as the Skins. Not to mention, he has thrown for 32,000+ yards and 203 tds. Im much happier to have McNabb than Campbell. Here in Washington, he wont have to throw 70 percent of the time, because we know how to run it and if Big D wants to have a shot at a Superbowl, Garrett better remember how to run it in the redzone!
So he wants to be a Redskin… FAIL!
“The NFCE is the Cowboys to lose.”
As usual, the Cowboys are crowned champs in August. don’t know why they even bother to play the games…
skinsfan21…
Are you gonna make up more stuff about Eagles fans chanting and calling McNabb the n-word at games? And make-believe flood of calls in WIP calling him dumb?
Any other fantasies aside from those and having your team go over .500?
Seriously, the Skins are the worst team in the division, by far.
DALLAS: 12-4
GIANTS: 9-7
EAGLES: 7-9
Redskins: 6-10
YOu have no talent at RB or WR. Stop it!
Yeah..keep your moms of your Apple IIC. Hail!
Beware unDAwAre
I concur with jan van, and want to add that ROMO is one of the biggest chokes in the NFL and is the third best QB in the East.
I see the Cowgirls finishing around .500 with that suspect line and there injury prone RB’s. Teams will game plan for Austin as the No.1 receiver which leaves Romo and Whitten and he will have to hang out to block for Romo against top rated D’s like Eagles, Giants, and the Skins.
DC is coming back around and its starts with the Skins this year, HTTR!
@ Beware and all Cowboy fans,
McNabb has done more in football than Romo will ever do.
Cowboys are not going to do shit this year or next year until Wade is gone. Wade sucks and you should have never let Sean P. go to the Saints.
So don’t say shit about Romo being younger, he will NEVER do as much as McNabb. Ever.
mooch, plain and simple you are an idiot.
no RB? sometimes i wish people on here had to be accountable for the shit they say. you have nothing to offer anyone and rarely say anything that is worth commenting on unless it is to clown you.
Mooch, I guess you put a lot of work comparing your inury prone RB unit to Portis and L. Johnson. I am sure you would like to forget about Santana Moss, after all, his best games come aginst you guys, as does Cooley.
No, Moss kills the Cowboys.
Cooley kills the Eagles.
Seriously, learn about your own team.
BigMike – you make your typical shrill and whiny assault devoid of any facts. You never make a statement aside from “nuh uh, you are dumb”.
YOU HAVE NO RB. AT ALL. NONE. ZERO.
Larry Johnson is all done, run into the ground by KC.
Clinton Portis is all done, run into the ground by WAS.
Willie Parker? Please. All done.
NAME ME THE LIST OF RB’S WHO HAVE COME BACK FROM EXTENDED SEASONS OF 300+ CARRIES? THIS LATE IN THEIR CAREER?
Gimme facts, aside from blind fandom. Your team sucks. 6-10.
BigMikeSkinsFan…
Memory lane of his past statements..
“Sean Gilbert is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Dan Wilkinson is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Adam Archuleta is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Joe Gibbs is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Deoin Sanders is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Steve Spurrier is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Antwan Randle El is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Brandon Lloyd is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Albert Haynesworth is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Fred Smoot is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Jermiah Trotter is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Shane Matthews is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Jeff George is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Malcolm Kelly is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
“Devin Thomas is going to turn around our team. We’ll dominate!”
ON AND ON AND ON.
And it NEVER pans out. Ever.
YOUR TEAM NEVER MAKES GOOD MOVES, YET YOU CONTINALLY BLOW THE C+ TALENT THEY OVERPAY FOR YEAR AFTER YEAR.
What a clown you are. And you will run and hide when this latest cut-and-paste solution fails. Again.
Cowboys Suck
Always have always Will
HAIL
Dude, Santana Moss is so ordinary at this stage of his career. Once a nice player, a solid deep threat.
Please, that’s a joke. And McNabb spreads the ball around, so expect a slight dropoff in Moss’ already lackluster numbers.
Name me one player you’d say in on the upside of his career among your offensive skill positions.
One.
My QB may be good or he may suck. I dunno.
But at least he isn’t ordering a custom #5 Viking jersey, wearing it to bed, and crying himself to sleep because he picked a losing franchise to go to.
Like yours is.

this is exactly why nobody will EVER listen to you or believe what you said. You are trying to quote me but you KNOW I didnt say any of those things.
you babble on and on all you want but its obvious I hit a nerve and you got butt hurt by the truth.
Mooch, I guess you forgot about Cooley’s 3 td’s in 05 and 2 in 07 and countless youtube vidoes mocking your goofy team. Furthermore, when used right he kills everybody! I know my team!
…and like every year, you guys are given the Lombardi in the Pre-season only to choke in the post season!
I’ll take CP and LJ over your injury prone RB’s anyday.
I’d post the names of all the Cowboys who had a run in with the Law since JJ took over with his Moral spectrum of talent but I misght miss the Season!
BEWAREDAWARE, you say “McNabb did shit in Philly and he will do shit in Washington” and “none of them could hold Romos jock”.LOL. Okay, I think McNabb has about 9 playoff wins to Romos 1 win. McNabb took his team to 5 NFC Title games and Romo has led his team to 0. In 4 years, Romo has 1 playoff victory. In McNabbs first full year as a starter he won a playoff game. With that being said, Kevin Kolb will outplay both of them this season. I honestly dont care what you haters want to say. Ive seen what Kolb can do and watched a lot of practice videos of him and it is clear that he has a good arm and is very athletic. Even though doubters want to claim otherwise.He is an accurate QB and I think this young Eagles team will prove a lot of people wrong. The only negative thing people can say is that they’re young. They might be young but I’d say 90% of the guys that will be out on the field already have playoff experience. Even guys as young as Celek and Jackson already have 4 playoff games under their belts.Thats just as many as Romo has and he’s been in the league about twice as long!lol

The NFCE is the Cowboys to lose. Between the Gint, Giggles and Skins….not one of those teams is a complete team and none of them could hold Romo’s jock
This is a typical Cowboys fan post. My guess is this person has never even been to Texas…he turned on the TV one day saw them winning a game..heard the SELF PROCLAIMED term “America’s Team” and decided to be a cowboys fan. Or that was the popular team to root for in High school LOL
My guess is this guy never even follows the team until this time of year.
I have some news for ya…Cowboys O line is all over 30 years of age. Only young guy has replaced F. Adams on the line. He can’t stop anyone even in preseason and is giving up sacks consistently, Not to mention the “jock nobody can sniff” has consistently turned the ball over this preseason and in 28 drives have not even scored a TD.
So you say Mcnabb can’t hold Romo’s Jock?
Romos’s career notes
Fumbled a game winning FG hold to lose a playoff game. He has won one playoff game in his career. He did make 4 pro bowls But the first one he only played a half season and it was not deserved.
He is just Joe Montana reincarnated a?
Mcnabb’s Career notes
2004 NFC Offensive Player of the Year
four consecutive NFC East division championships (2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004), five NFC Championship Games (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2008), and one Super Bowl (Super Bowl XXXIX, Perhaps his most memorable play has become known as “4th and 26″, which took place against the Green Bay Packers in the final minutes of a 2003 NFC Divisional playoff game. He played all 16 games all 4 years for his 4 Pro bowls
He is the Eagles’ all-time leader in career wins, pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.
But you keep holding on to your dreams!
theres no sense in debating cowboy fans, they are mongoloids. esspecially mooch.
I love reading the Cowgirls and the Foreskin fans trash each other. Everyone is overlooking the Giants and the Eagles. It will be really funny when the Eagles and the Giants are fighting for the NFCE crown, Jerrah Jonz is talking about firing Wade Phillips and replacing him with Jason Garrett and the Danny is rethinking hiring Shanny and Bruce Allen.
And I’m a Ravens Fan~!!!!!
Mike, again you make no points.
Yes, all your aging players on the downswing are suddenly gonna be awesome. Happens all the time.
They’ll all have career years. Happens all the time.
Your “big signings” will pay off. Happens all the time.
You convinced me.
HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA!
Rustafa…
PS – I did not forget about Cooley, stated as much if you bothered to read my post instead of making a shrill response. Cooley is a top value in fantasy this year. And I believe he scored way more than that vs Philly, or at least it seemed so.
So, if you offered LJ or CP straight up for McCoy…do you honestly believe any GM would take that? After all, only one team wanted LJ last year (Cincy) and even they had seen enough. Because he’s trash.
But he’ll be awesome, because broken down backs suddenly get better in the NFL. Happens all the time.
You must be the GM that signed all that trash I noted above. Trash that, each and every time the signing was announced, people like you said would lead to dominance.
How have these quick fixes worked for the Skins? Why should I take this latest quick fix seriously?
Wake me when you win 6 games. Like every year, you’ll all stop paying attention / going to games by Thanksgiving.
My team is in a rebuilding mode, and will likely have a comparable record to your team that is packed with “impact” signings.
And that, my friend, is a sad statement on your franchise.
“I’ll take CP and LJ over your injury prone RB’s anyday.”
Uh, they released Westbrook.
And CP and LJ…care to list their # of games missed recently? I think the Eagles backs are far more durable…and are younger.
But your old RB’s will not get hurt anymore despite having a history of being hurt.
Happens all the time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Please remind me what the Eagles have won?? And dont go back to the 60′s.
Wish McNabb was playing in the AFC so that I could root for him. He would have been one of the greats if Reid had adjusted to his skills. He just isn’t a pure west coast QB. Has a nice deep ball and great play action. He isn’t a slant guy and can’t hit a crossing route. Deep outs, fades, screens, deep play action passes are his strengths. You need receivers that can find an open spot and settle down when open. He doesn’t throw to a spot – he throws to a man.
Maybe you can start the Super Bowl trophies at Rb when your broken-down RB’s that no one else wanted limp to the IR by week 6.
Oh, I forgot. Old RB’s with tons of carries on them suddenly stop getting hurt and get better with age.
Happens all the time.
Oh, and never call me a Cowboy fan.
Are you guys gonna go to games this year? After Halloween? Would be a first since the mid-90′s.
@Mooch
Did you ever watch Denver play? With the system Shanahan uses I really dont think the Redskins need a all pro running back. And while they dont have great receivers I think Mcnabb could make them better. When did Philly have great receivers besides Owens? Your comments dont bother me though…I would be pissed if I lived in that hole of a city too.
RICKVALDEZ, so you think Shanahan doesnt need an All-Pro RB?? Okay, so how successful was Denver after TD retired? He carried the Broncos throughout the playoffs and the Super Bowls. Shanahan need TD so bad that he pretty much forced TD to stay in the game even though he couldnt even see(literally) because he had blurred vision and migranes.
Who would want to hold that Jock ? with your Slobber all over it ???
RickValdez shouldn’t you be a Ravens fan? thanks for being on george
buddha-Shanny turns guys into all-pro RBs. Ever hear of…
Olandis Gary-4th round draft pick
Mike Anderson-6th round draft pick
Tatum Bell-2nd round draft pick
look out for Ryan Torrain, folks
Beware -
D Mac goes to 5 NFC Championships and you say he didn’t do anything for the Eagles? What has Homo done? NADA
Just proves that you are another IDIOT CowGirl fan…
I love neating up on you freaks
Mooch for someone who is a redskins hater, you sure know alot about the team.. Are you a closet skins fan? Thats ok we will let you on the bandwagon…. NOT AT ALL.
You have no idea what you are talking about, Moss kills the cowboys, Cooley kills the eagles…. So they are not allowed to have big games elsewhere
