donovan-mcnabbBlockbuster deal: Philadelphia quarterback heads down the I-95 to WashingtonXXThe Philadelphia Eagles have reached agreement on a blockbuster intra-division trade that will send perennial Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Washington Washington Football Team, according to multiple sources close to the situation.

The two sides still must finalize language, but McNabb is now headed to Washington. Sources said the deal involved the Washington Football Team’s second-round pick in the 2010 draft and either a third- or fourth-round pick next year, depending on several factors.

The move means the Washington Football Team now have a new starting quarterback and the Eagles have a new one as well in Kevin KolbMichael Vick is now in line as the team’s backup.

Earlier, sources said McNabb’s contract, which has one year and $11.2 million left on it, scared off several other teams. McNabb is due a $6.2 million roster bonus on May 5 and is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2010 season.

At the league meetings, head coach Andy Reid said the Eagles were listening to offers for all three quarterbacks, including 11-year veteran McNabb, who quickly said on his Web site that he wanted a quick resolution to the trade conversations.
