[font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]--Although there is no NFL salary cap, every organization clearly has a budget. The addition of McNabb would cost the 49ers an additional $11.2 million in player compensation for the upcoming season.
--With tight end Vernon Davis (signed through 2010), Patrick Willis (2011), Dashon Goldson (2010) and others coming up on the ends of their contracts, does that mean the 49ers would be unable to re-sign one of those players? After all, McNabb is due to earn $11 million this season. And if the club traded for him, they'd have to be willing to give him a lucrative multi-year contract.
--The 49ers are one of the league's low-revenue teams. Like it or not, there is a possibility of no football in 2011. The 49ers wouldn't make a deal with the Eagles unless they can guarantee themselves McNabb will be around more than one year. And would the 49ers be willing to pay a large up-front signing bonus this year when there's the potential that they won't be playing football next year?
