Its’ official. The deal is done.
Comcast Sportsnet’s Derrick Gunn is reporting that the Eagles and quarterback Donovan McNabb have agreed to new terms on the remaining two years of contract. No specifics are yet available.
McNabb was set to receive $9.2 million this season and $10 million in 2010.
The two sides had been discussing a contract extension before shifting focus to the remaining two years a couple weeks ago.
“We are thrilled that this all worked out,” Eagles president Joe Banner said in a statement. “He is a great football player, a great person and someone who gives back to the community. We are lucky to have him in Philadelphia.”
Added coach Andy Reid: “The Philadelphia Eagles organization and the entire city of Philadelphia are fortunate to have a quarterback the caliber of Donovan McNabb. He has proven himself to be a talented player on the field, a caring member of the Philadelphia community and a winner.”
A press conference with McNabb and Reid is scheduled for Friday morning at 10 AM.
