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.

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
