Where should Donovan McNabb spend the rest of the season?

Donovan McNabb is no longer a member of the Minnesota Vikings. If you have problems with maintenance, it is no longer a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins.

For someone who has the first 11 years of his career in the NFL spent in Philadelphia - Eagles by four NFC championships and a kind of Super Bowl - McNabb has very recently a journeyman. It was during the off-season for the Redskins in 2010, which traded him dismissed after only one season.

He was taken from Minnesota, where he lasted just six games as a quarterback (1-5'll only four touchdowns and five passes for 25 yards) and 11 games overall. McNabb Vikings released on Thursday described a decision coach Leslie Frazier as mutual.

So, now what about McNabb? Chicago Bears and Houston Texans are two teams, to jump to mind as possible destinations. Both are playoff contenders with questions quarterback position. Bears may very well be without injured starter Jay Cutler for the rest of the year and backup Caleb Hanie fight in his first start last week.

Texans lost their first two quarterbacks - to avoid injury - Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart. But the Houston Chronicle reported that the team is not immediately interested in McNabb, coach Gary Kubiak with the obvious desire to TJ Yates as his starter stick.

Dallas Cowboys, another candidate for the playoffs, could also use the services of someone like McNabb. While they are with Tony Romo as the starter, backup Jon Kitna had back problems in recent weeks and the season.

Bears and Cowboys are in the claims denial of quarterback Kyle Orton, the cut last week by the Denver Broncos have been laid, and eventually went to Kansas City Chiefs. If both teams make a run at McNabb to remove the wire that Dallas will have priority over Chicago, based on absorption and strength of schedule.

Where do you think McNabb should spend the rest of the 2011 season? With one of the teams mentioned above, or someone who you think could use its services? Or do you think it's time for a veteran quarterback to call it quit? Finally, things have not worked so well with his last two teams.

Donovan McNabb's Decline as Sudden as It Is Complete

It was not so long ago, during the debate that swirled around, then in Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb ESPN commentator, after brief remarks Rush Limbaugh 2003 - that people in the case of McNabb, he was on his way to the Hall of Fame career.

McNabb as the Eagles' starter late in his rookie year in 1999, led the team in the playoffs 2000 and followed that up four straight trips to the NFC championship in 2001-04.

Eagles broke through and won the title in the NFC in 2004 before losing to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX.

McNabb made five straight bowls from 2000-04 and again as in 2009, his last year in Philadelphia, 11 seasons with the Eagles, the team was 92-49-1 with McNabb - in 142 starts.

His stat line was hard Eagles from 59 percent of its permits for 32,873 yards with 216 and 100 stop landings. Once an athletic quarterback, he also rushed for 3,249 yards and 28 touchdowns.

But as the story goes, after that.

It is now.

Since 2010 Washington Redskins Eagles McNabb sold in April, his career has cratered as quickly as Milli Vanilli all lip - synching to light.

His career lasted just 13 games in Washington and was wildly inconsistent play and a bizarre sequence of events with a loss to Detroit. McNabb was pulled last game for Rex Grossman, Washington coach Mike Shanahan added the word "cardiovascular endurance" dictionary of football for several weeks.

It seems that the approval of whispers that began after a serious Eagles | Super Bowl loss, the former Philadelphia wide receiver Terrell Owens said McNabb was vomiting and quickly connect up Eagles offense in last game.

Redskins traded McNabb Minnesota Vikings after the lockout this summer to his career with the Vikings ended Thursday when he was released.

His stay in Minnesota was even shorter than the last stop, only six starts and 1-5 record, than falls in favor of rookie Christian thinking.

Along the way, even more to talk about McNabb alleged poor work habits and conditioning.

So, less than two years, McNabb for bowlers in the overthrow of the wire feed. Three teams are formed for him at the time.

It's not as if there were no signs, though. Philadelphia coach Andy Reid, McNabb scored in the game against the Baltimore Ravens 2008 and then sold him to the division rival, something almost unheard of in the spring of 2010.

Then came a couple of benchings in Washington, followed by its loss from the work of Minnesota.

While it may seem that McNabb is 40, he was 35 last week, at an age when many quarterbacks are still at or near the top.

So bad as McNabb in Philadelphia, I do not think it will be a man without a team. Chicago Bears and Houston Texans are fighting for playoff points without their starting quarterbacks. Dallas Cowboys are in the playoff mix and legitimate interest in the injury suffered by Jon Kitna advance.

One of them is that McNabb will be able to do something there.

From what I saw in the last two seasons, I think the tank is dry enough.
