QB Donovan McNabb is officially a Minnesota Viking. The Redskins agreed to trade him to Minnesota in exchange for a 2012 6th-round pick plus a conditional 6th-rounder in 2013. That price tag gives you a good idea of just how far McNabb has fallen in the eyes of NFL personnel men. Now 34 years old, he’s lost a good deal of mobility and arm strength. That being said, he’s still a capable starter and is joining an offense with plenty of weapons — even if the Vikes lose WR Sidney Rice. McNabb should fare much better in Minnesota than he did in Washington. That being said, he should still be viewed as a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues. He’s made it through a full 16-game season just once in the past 7 seasons, and rookie QB Christian Ponder is waiting in the wings if he falters. The signing is excellent news for Minnesota’s skill-position players though. Ponder would have struggled early on.
