I get the move for the Eagles. It's a cold league, and the fact of that matter is that they had to move Donovan now in order to get anything of worth for him. I think Donovan deserved a little better from the Eagles, especially since he's the best quarterback the franchise has ever seen and one of the top five players to ever strap on some cleats in an Eagles uniform.
All of that being said, WTF are the Redskins doing? All signs point to them trying to pick up Sam Bradford in the draft, they already have like 74 QB's on their roster, the combined age of their potential starting RB's is like 174, their offensive line absolutely is one of the worst five in the league, and their receiving corps continues to be a bunch of below par midgets. While Donovan is an upgrade - and a huge one at that, even at 33 - over Jason Campbell, there's no question that QB had to be about 10th on the list of things the Redskins really needed to do to improve this offseason. I'd rather have drafted a big offensive lineman with that second round pick than traded for a QB you'll have on your roster for approximately one season.
Then again, this is Daniel Snyder, and talent evaluation and roster management have never been his strong points during his tenure as Redskins owner.
