Big news from the Eagles today. After expressing his desire for playmakers during the offseason, and watching the Eagles add Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy with their first two draft picks, as well as trade for Jason Peters to fill the gap at tackle, Donovan McNabb had his contract reworked. Basically, he's getting a raise, and a decent one at that.
Instead of making about $20 million over the next two years, McNabb's new deal is now worth $24.5 million, with another $1 million in incentives, according to ESPN.com. While this gives the Eagles an out if McNabb struggles this year, it also makes sure that the franchise quarterback will be happy, at least at the bank. Plus, this keeps Kevin Kolb sitting right on the bench where he belongs, and leaves McNabb with no other excuses now. With the team the Eagles have put together for this coming season, anything short of a parade down Broad Street is going to be a let down.
He's got his playmakers and his money...now let's see what he can do with both of them.
