Mike Shanahan spoke after my deadline on Friday. He wore a black leather Fonzi jacket to the podium; I got the feeling the water skis were out in the lobby. Shanahan said that he wants to handle the Donovan McNabb situation “the right way,” then noted that he has been in contact with McNabb’s agent, not McNabb himself. Finish that thought yourself. Shanahan said that he expects the team to make a move on McNabb sometime after the draft. He also said that Clinton Portis would be allowed to test the free agent market; Portis spoke on Washington radio on Saturday morning, and he sounded ready for a change of address. While he said nothing meaningful about Albert Haynesworth, he did say that the Redskins lack a “dominating” defensive tackle. No kidding.
