He originally signed with Minnesota as a rookie free agent.</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A college star himself at Virginia, McMullen did not have a lot of passes thrown his way during his three years in Philadelphia and subsequently struggled with his consistency. Entering 2005, he saw most of his action on special teams and had just four receptions to his credit.A third-round pick in 2003, McMullen finally got some extended playing time in '05 and showed some flashes along the way with his 18 receptions for 268 yards and a touchdown. He'll now be reunited with his former offensive coordinator, Brad Childress, and quarterback Mike McMahon in Minnesota.</div>I really hope Childress knows something about McMullen. I thought Baskett was a great rookie free agent signing for us.

This was a STEAL for Philly..Well, a potential steal at least. It's like trading a piece of garbage for a mystery bag.
I didn't ever hear about this. Baskett was sloppy in all of his workouts, which is why he was undrafted. Even trade for both teams.
