Donovan McNabb

[Eagaholic]

not surprising, but FWIW

A source has told CSN's Derrick Gunn that McNabb and the organization are close to restructuring the final two years of the quarterback's current contract. A deal could be completed in the near future.

Under his current deal, the 11th-year veteran is scheduled to earn $9.2 million this season and $10 million in 2010. The two sides had been discussing an extension before agreeing to focus on reworking the two years remaining on his current deal.

i'm still kind of in shock that the eagles are trying to do right by mcnabb.  it tells me that either the eagles (a) aren't the cold, heartless organization i have them pegged to be, or (b), that they have no confidence in kevin kobb yet. 

i wonder which one it is.

I'm more surprised that McNabb was appeased by their half-assed efforts to improve the offense.

a) they realize that Sheldon Brown is not the one that got them to 5 NFC championship games and a SB, McNabb was and is rightfully deserving

b) they have no confidence in Kevin Kobb yet

all of the above

Details?

ESPN's Michael Smith reports the deal is worth $24.5 million.

McNabb wasn't extended, he will receive a $5.3 million raise with another $1 million in incentives

like he really needs a paltry $5+mil more...why bother.  He should give the money to Sheldon to shut him up.

So they restructured a contract with time remaining on it?  Wait - I thought they never did that!

cobb must be a really promising player

[reese125]

even more proof how high they are on Cobb:

CSNSportsnite reported that the Eagles wanted more than anything to do an extension. But the 2 sides weren't in agreement. The Eagles didn't want any hard feelings on either side going into the season, so both sides agreed to just work on 2009 and 2010.

the eagles just threw a nasty ass curve ball on this one.  they gave a player who is over 30, with prior knee injuries, who is still under contract, a pay raise on the remainder of his contract but didn't extend him?  this goes against everything the fo has stood for over the better part of a decade. 

[ice grillin you]

his position negates all that reasoning....the quarterback position and rightly so should be looked at thru a different pair of glasses...this only seems weird because reid has only ever had one qb and this is the first time this scenario has come up in his tenure
