You guys believe your own McNabb bashing too much. If we can't trade him it's because of the contract, not because no one but a couple teams would let him compete to start. We're not getting back what we paid for him either. But If we cut him, he'll have a lot of choices.
If you look around the NFL there just aren't that many teams that have needs for a qb right now. Minnesota and Arizona are the two that stand out. You could maybe add Miami to that last, but they appear pretty committed to giving Henne one final shot. Maybe the 49ers.
You might toss in Cincy when they realize that Palmer isn't coming back.
The Bengals are installing a new west coast offense, not sure that McNabb fits there. Plus they have Andy Dalton and are likely going into rebuilding mode if they trade Palmer and dump Ocho Cinco. I doubt McNabb agrees to a trade to go there either.
Based on both of your points, it looks like you are probably right that Cincy will have no interest in McNabb. Here is some data to support your points.
Overall, I believe that McNabb could have been a better Quarterback were he playing in a different system for most of his career. The West Coast offense which is what Andy Reid likes to run in Philadelphia, is predicated on being highly accurate in completion of short to intermediary routes on a consistent basis. McNabb’s greatest weakness is throwing these short slant and curl routes which are time based and usually into tight coverage.

Gruden indicated it's Dalton's job to lose.
