I mean, the Oakland Raiders are the kind of franchise that would trade for Donovan McNabb without a guarantee that McNabb signs an extension with them, right?
And there's no way McNabb would sign an extension with the Raiders anyway when they seem so far away from contention, right?
So this still could turn out well for the Vikings even if they don't get McNabb this year.
Here is how it will work.
1. McNabb is traded to the Raiders, but refuses to sign an extension and becomes a free agent after the 2010 season.
2. Brett Favre comes back in 2010 and plays brilliantly, leads the Vikings to the Super Bowl and then retires.
3. In the 2011 offseason, the Super Bowl champs sign McNabb to a four-year deal, solidifying their quarterback position.
4. And all the while they keep their high draft picks in 2010 and 2011 to build for the future (and maybe find an eventual successor for McNabb) and help keep the team ultra-competitive while McNabb is around.
I'm dreaming here. But it's okay to dream.

Favre had a layover in New York before becoming a Viking - why wouldn't McNabb do the same in Oakland?
I could see it happening.
Peter:
What I failed to mention in my last post is that if the Raiders get McNabb, they can franchise him even if he doesn't sign an extension.
It would be expensive, but they could do it.
