Although they had a good NFL season and were so close to get to the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles still think they could do better and reach that goal. The Eagles quarterback, Donovan McNabb, and other members of the team had a meeting in which they discussed about contract extension.
The quarterback gathered with the Eagles coachAndy Reid, and Eagles presidentJoe Banner, at the Eagles complex in Philadelphia, where they not only talked about prolonging the contract, but also increasing the roster with solid players, specifically on the offensive side.
The possibility of McNabb staying with the team is in a critical state. According to McNabb, this upgrade to the team can improve their chances to reach championship gold. But, if there is no improvement whatsoever, he might consider not renewing his contract, which ends in two years, or even ask the Eagles to trade him.
The option of free agents is not that great, specifically because there aren’t many players out there. Veterans such asJon Runyan and Tra Thomas are becoming free agents this coming Friday. Others such as T.J. Houshmandzadeh would likely be traded if they have a guarantee that McNabb is still going to be with Eagles.
Last season, McNabb passed for 3,916 yards with 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. This was the fifth time he lead the Eagles to the conference title game. Later on in the season, he was benched against the Baltimore Ravens.Their final game was against the Arizona Cardinals, where they lost the NFC Championship game.
