McNabb Waived

The Minnesota Vikings released NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb on Thursday. Donovan is now able to sign with any team that wants him. The release of McNabb was reported to be mutual between the quarterback McNabb and Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier. The quarterback is in his thirteenth season as a quarterback, after being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles second overall in the 1999 NFL Draft and spent ten season with the Eagles. After he left Philadelphia McNabb went to the Washington Redskins, but was later benched in the season for quarterback Rex Grossman. After the 2010 season, Donovan McNabb went to the Minnesota Vikings and suffered a repeated occurrence. McNabb was benched a few games before mid-season for rookie quarterback Christian Ponder. Donovan is now a free agent and on the market looking for the next step in his career. I personal think that McNabb does not have much left in his career, however, I do not think this is how McNabb should end his last year in the NFL. There are some notable teams that might show interest in bring Donovan in. One team for example would be the Houston Texans, after losing quarterback Matt Schubb. However they just signed Jake Delhomme I don't think they will be in a rush for him. Then there is the Chicago Bears, who lost quarterback Jay Cutler because of a broken thumb on his throwing hand. Not to mention that Chicago is Donovan's home town. The Bears also have a winning record sitting at 7-4, it seems like a perfect fit to me.
