''Everything was handled awkwardly,'' McNabb said Tuesday on his weekly radio show on ESPN980, ''somewhat to a disrespect to me and to the team.
''Because of the timing and because of all the leaks and everything that was put out there, and no putting out the fire, so to speak,'' McNabb said, ''I'm hearing everything through the media.''
Shanahan waited until Thursday evening to tell McNabb that Rex Grossman would be the starter for the rest of the season, even though rumblings of a possible switch had been circulating all week.
''I was pulled back by it. All of a sudden you get this news a couple of days before the game, you do feel somewhat disrespected,'' McNabb said. ''You could have told me earlier or at least prepared me for it. ... The term I did use was professional. You would like to hear it early, and if you hear it late, it kind of throws off the preparation for a lot of guys.''
The Commanders signed McNabb to a contract extension last month, but it contains a clause that allows the team to release him before next season without further financial obligations.
hes gone IMO
