McNabb to Vikings is a done deal

According to Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, the Redskins have traded quarterback Donovan McNabb @donovanjmcnabb to the Minnesota Vikings for a 2012 sixth-round pick and a conditional 2013 sixth-round pick. This news had beend dragging for a very long time because McNabb needed to restructure his contract. The Redskins gave McNabb a $10 million option bonus when they extended his contract last season. Rookie Christian Ponder @cponder7 was set to be the starter in Minnesota, but this move will put that on hold.

Fantasy Analysis:

A sixth round pick is all the Skins got for one of the great quarterbacks of this generation. That's what happens when you stick around just a little bit too long. This is a Fantasy situation best left untouched. While the Vikings have a great running game and nice set of receivers (assuming Sidney Rice @sidneyrice returns), their offensive line isn't built to pass protect. The Vikings reached to select Ponder for a reason. They must've felt he was ready to play on Day 1. McNabb has only played a full 16-game season once in the last seven seasons so Ponder will more than likely get a shot to show what he can do.
