Will Minnesota Vikings Punter Give Up Jersey Number 5 to Donovan McNabb?

As most everyone knows by now, Washington Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb was traded to the Minnesota Vikings.  McNabb has worn the number 5 throughout his entire NFL career, and it would be easy to assume that he would like to wear that number in Minnesota.  However, the Minnesota Vikings already have a player that wears the number 5.  That would be Chris Kluwe, the punter.

Usually this is not a big deal, as the player already wearing the number comes up with a price for which he is willing to give up the number to the other player.  Well, on his Twitter account, Chris Kluwe has named his price:

"So here's the deal. If McNabb comes and wants 5, it's his, BUT he has to promise to mention Tripping Icarus in at least 5 press conferences."

Tripping Icarus is Kluwe's rock band.  Your move, McNabb.

UPDATEMcNabb has agreed to Kluwe's terms and they have signed a "contract", so McNabb will wear No. 5 for the Vikings.

If McNabb wants No. 5, he'll be promoting a punter's rock band [Shutdown Corner]
