NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
It is a love hate affair in Philadelphia as they restructure Donovan McNabb’s contract for the next two years.
McNabb and the Eagles agreed late Thursday to restructure the final two years of his contract instead of extending his current deal. McNabb will collect $24.5 million over the next two seasons, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. That’s a $5.3 million raise over two years.
“Both sides wanted to get something done,” coach Andy Reid said. “We thought it needed to be done. Donovan warranted this. There are very few players or situations where a player is far enough along in his career, and then his contract, where he warrants something like this. We felt Donovan was in that situation.”
The Philadelphia Eagles have a chance to win it all. Their team is that good and so is Donovan, but he just never seems to last through the season. Twice this guy has been my Fantasy Football quarterback and twice he was ripping up the league only to fall to season ending injuries.
Donovan McNabb is all smiles with more money
Donovan has so much talent that you just keep thinking he will put it all together, stay healthy, and deliver the title to the Eagles. That is why Philly was willing to ante up the extra money and pay him.
