Happening FAST.
Gonna be weird seeing him in purple.
The
Minnesota Vikings agreed Tuesday to acquire quarterback
Donovan McNabb in a trade from the
Washington Redskins, pending McNabb agreeing to new contract terms, league sources said.
McNabb would be dealt for a late-round pick -- Jay Glazer of Fox Sports and NFL Network reported that it would be sixth-rounders in 2012 and 2013 -- but he must restructure his contract, and those talks are scheduled for Wednesday. It isn't expected to be a lengthy process, but nevertheless, it would be required before a trade could be complete.
McNabb was due to make $12.5 million with the Redskins, including a roster bonus, but the Vikings made it clear they couldn't take on that salary. Still, McNabb's desire to be in Minnesota will lead to the deal being fully agreed to, pending the new contract terms, sources said.
McNabb has long sought to join the Vikings -- he wanted to be dealt there before the
Philadelphia Eagles traded him to the Redskins last year -- and his agent, Fletcher Smith, helped broker this deal. Trade talks began before the NFL lockout in March, and McNabb desperately wanted out of Washington as soon as possible.
I remember thinking wow this guy is great! Then watching him do that I was like you dumb ass! 
I'm ready for some damn FOOTBALL!!!
