According to a report by csnphilly.com Eagles’ beat reporter Derrick Gunn, the team and quarterback Donovan McNabb have been discussing a contract extension over the past month.
A league source told Gunn that the two sides have decided to put the discussion of an extension on hold for now and instead focus on reworking the final two years of the existing deal.
McNabb is scheduled to earn $9.2 million this season and $10 million in 2010. According to figures released by the NFL Players Association, McNabb is listed as the 10th highest paid quarterback in the league (although on that list ahead of McNabb is Brett Favre, who may or may not play this season). At ninth on that list is Jacksonville’s David Garrard at $9,475,000.
In light of this report, McNabb’s previously frustrating silence is more understandable. If he is in contract negotiations with the Eagles, then it is only customary for both sides to stay tight lipped on the subject.
