Apparently, Mcnabb and Vick are very close friends and Mcnabb completely endorsed the move. Remember also...Mcnabb just got paid so he was finally given his love.
This is a home run for the eagles. You have a back up quarterback that could start for a number of teams in the league. Not only that, unlike most backups, he won't just hold a clipboard. You can actually devise ways to use him in specialty situations and not just the wildcat. Remember the way the steelers used kordell? Vick throws and runs better than kordell and I remember slash being highly effective.
For 1.6 million and an option at 5.2 million? There will be a number of teams that will be sorry they didnt take the chance.
