per the Philadelphia Inquirer...

...the Eagles plan to meet with Donovan McNabb's agent, Fletcher Smith, to discuss a contract extension, and seemed confident a deal will be completed with the 32-year-old quarterback. McNabb has two years remaining on his current deal.

So it looks like Don will retire an Eagle. And in related news....

TJ Houshmandzadeh, considered one of the top free-agent receivers, told Mike Missanelli of ESPN Radio 950 in Philadelphia: "If the Eagles are interested in me, let's put it like this. If they'll be interested in me, I'll be interested in them."

According to a Philly.com report that includes quotes from the radio interview, Houshmandzadeh said he's a fan of Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. "I think McNabb is a fine quarterback. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league, probably, I can't even think of another quarterback that has performed throughout his career the way he has and would be put in a situation like he was put in in Baltimore, but he bounced back very well." Houshmandzadeh was referring to McNabb being benched in favor of Kevin Kolb during the Eagles' 36-7 loss to the Ravens in November.

Its interesting he calls Donovan a "Quarterback" and not just an "Athlete". If Housh ends up in Philly, expect another 30 TD campaign from #5 in 09.

The Eagles also have decided not to tag anybody this season. After tagging TE LJ Smith last year, the Eagles are parting ways with him this year. They also are likely to re-sign FA safety B Dawk.

      Pretty sure Tepper wanted BY regardless of the coach. Unfortunately for Panthers fans. I am confident Reich did not want BY.

      Bills predictions

      By strato · Posted

      Prediction? We likely lose.  Maybe look okay doing it.  It could be different with some turnovers coming to us.   In general I don’t have the same faith in what we will get from Andy that I had in the week three games of the two previous years.   I was very confident as to what we would see last year vs the Raiders and was validated.  The patchwork OL worries me, in pass pro, with him being old and creaky and not exactly being ‘cat like’ in his escapability. And somewhat concerned about his arm strength. I mean in general, I think he could still be ‘as good once as he ever was’ which is a huge upgrade from Bryce.   But it is still another year of aging and at some point it’s over… people say it is for him, I haven’t seen enough of him this season to say otherwise.  Add the fact that they are generally a more seasoned and tested team than we are, players to staff. I am skeptical. But that is why they play the games, we don’t know for sure.
