Filed to ESPN: Vikings plan to release Donovan McNabb today, according to a league source
Vikings have granted QB Donovan McNabb's request to be released. He'll be subject to waiver process. Full story ahead on NFL.com/NFL Network
Sign him!
I'll take a washed up McNabb as insurance any day.
In all seriousness, though, I'd trade Delhomme & Clemens straight up for Donovan.
Rick "Uncle Tom" Smith may think otherwise.Sign him!

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to release quarterback Donovan McNabb, team sources said Thursday.
McNabb, who was traded to the Vikings in the offseason to be their starter, recently had been taking reps with the third string and went to the team requesting his release, sources said. After a conversation with coach Leslie Frazier the Vikings have granted his request.
Several potential playoff teams have lost quarterbacks recently, including the Chicago Bears (McNabb's hometown team, and a place he would obviously love to play) and the Houston Texans, who run a system very much like what McNabb ran during his 2010 season with the Washington Redskins.
At this point, all players must clear waivers, a 24-hour process whereby other clubs could make claims. Last week, the Cowboys and Bears made claims on former Kyle Orton, as did the Chiefs, who were awarded the former Broncos quarterback because of their worse record, and thus waiver priority.
Several teams could use insurance at quarterback, and McNabb, despite his struggles in recent years, played in five NFC Championship Games and started a Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles.
McNabb has a $5.05 million contract for 2011 and would cost a team about $1.5 million for the remainder of the season.
I doubt Kubiak would bring him in here though since his mentor Shanahan didn't like Mcnabb.
Agree, seems like a nobrainer. And McNabb can sling it long, OK maybe notIn all seriousness, though, I'd trade Delhomme & Clemens straight up for Donovan.
have any of you guys seen McNabb play lately? Hes been awful, has been reported to have poor work habits and is a crappy leader. He's been on 3 teams in 3 years. He's taking the Randy 'I'm past my prime Moss world tour. I'll pass.

Which is worse, Delhome or McNabb? That's like asking if you want hit in the head by a baseball bat or a brick.

Dont know if this is good or bad....considering hes been traded or released multiple times in 2 years......plus Shanahan prob doenst have many good things to tell Kubes about Mcnabb
but on the other hand he has to be light years better than Clemens and Delhomme....who knows

Aluminum or wood?
Right. I saw it too and it made my eyes bleed.

I'm trying to remain optimistic, but damn. Debating between Delhomme and McNabb certainly frames the predicament that we find ourselves in right now. It's like trying to figure out if dog poo taste better/worse than cat poo without having to eat either one.
