Jim McIsaac/Getty ImagesFourteen days removed from what was arguably the biggest controversy in what has been a very controversial 2010 Washington Redskins season, the Redskins look to take the field this night at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the biggest news of Reebok Arizona Cardinals Larry Fitzgerald Realtree camo Jersey
the day arrived before the game. News broke in the afternoon that the Redskins and quarterback Donovan McNabb agreed to a new contract. The deal is rumored is to be worth five years. The Redskins did not disclose details of the contract. For over two weeks, Washington citizens and opinion movers were left to discuss what Mike Shanahan’s benching of McNabb meant in the closing minutes of the Redskins' 37-25 loss to the Detroit Lions. Most believed this was the end of any McNabb/Redskin talks on a contract that ended at the end of the season. However, with the Redskins looking forward to tonight’s NFC East tilt against the Eagles, today’s news has overshadowed much of the pregame hype. Now Washington fans can look forward to the next few years with McNabb at the helm of an offense that Shanahan and offensive coordinator/son Kyle Shanahan must be able to improve. Everybody agreeably scratched their head at the benching on October 31st. With a chance to win the game on a last-minute drive, Shanahan inserted backup quarterback and turnover-prone Rex Grossman into the game. The formidable Lions pass rush quickly entered the backfield on the first play of the drive, forced a fumble, and Lions rookie defensive end Ndamukong Suh trotted into the end zone with the football to seal the win. After the game, Shanahan explained that Grossman “gave us the best chance to win in that scenario.” Citing Grossman’s knowledge of Reebok Baltimore Ravens #5 Joe Flacco Realtree camo Jersey
the two-minute offense, Shanahan defended his decision. However, most were apt to disagree based on McNabb’s experience and Grossman’s inability to throw footballs to receivers wearing the same jersey. Which makes today’s news even more surprising. After the Lions game, McNabb was stoic in the press conference in expressing any kind of disappointment, but most of Washington assumed this was the end of this relationship which begun in August with the equally shocking news of McNabb heading to FedEx Field via trade.It will be interesting to see tonight if McNabb is able to go out and calmly direct the Redskin offense with a new contract in hand—especially playing against his previous team of 11 years. The deal can be easily criticized as it is cheered. It will take McNabb with the Redskins until he is 39 years of age. However, at the current moment McNabb gives the Redskins the best chance to win. He has shown that in certain spurts this season, but he has also shown Reebok Baltimore Ravens #27 Ray Rice Realtree camo Jersey
he can be prone to interceptions through forcing passes—which he was heavily criticized for in Philadelphia. Washington now has a veteran quarterback for the next five years. He faces his old team for the first time knowing in his mind that he will finish his career as a Washington Redskin.
