While neither side has released details, McNabb was expected to be dealt for a late-round pick -- Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com and NFL Network reported that it would be sixth-rounders in 2012 and 2013 -- but he must restructure his contract, and those talks were scheduled for Wednesday. McNabb was due to make $12.5 million with the Redskins, including a roster bonus, but the Vikings made it clear they couldn't take on that salary. Still, McNabb's desire to be in Minnesota will lead to the deal being fully agreed to, pending the new contract terms, sources said. McNabb has long sought to join the Vikings -- he wanted to be dealt there before the Eagles traded him to the Redskins last year -- and his agent, Fletcher Smith, helped broker this deal. Trade talks began before the NFL lockout in March, and McNabb desperately wanted out of Washington as soon as possible. Now he has his wish.
