Donovan McNabb agrees to five-year contract extension
By Jason Reid and Rick Maese
(Updated: 3:46 p.m.)
Donovan McNabb will be Mike Shanahan's quarterback beyond 2010, McNabb's agent confirmed.
"We're very happy about the situation," Fletcher Smith said. "We've been working on this for a while now, and we're obviously glad to get it done. Donovan's very happy about the situation because this is where he wanted to be all along.
"From the first day we spoke, I told you this is what Donovan wanted: to have a long career in Washington and end his career here. That never changed. And the fact that we could get this done tonight, with the Redskins playing the Eagles on Monday night and everything that goes with that, I couldn't have written a better script."
ESPN first reported the story Monday afternoon, citing the terms of the deal at five years and $78 million. A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed those numbers.
McNabb's current deal was set to expire at the conclusion of this season. Though both sides have maintained since the Easter day trade that brought McNabb to Washington from Philadelphia that an extension was coming, McNabb's Oct. 31 benching cast some doubt on the prospects. News reports have suggested that Shanahan wasn't pleased with McNabb's grasp of the offense.
However, the two sides talked throughout the bye week, and neither ever wavered about McNabb's future in Washington beyond 2010.
McNabb's new deal could be worth up to $88 million with incentives, according to ESPN's Michael Smith. Citing an unnamed source, the report stated that $40 million of the extension will be guaranteed.
Halfway through the Redskins' 16-game schedule, McNabb is the NFL's 28th-ranked passer with a 76.0 quarterback rating. He's averaging 246.4 yards per game (No. 13 in the NFL) and has seven touchdowns (tied for No. 26) and eight interceptions (tied for 10th most).
The Redskins (4-4) will rely on McNabb for a playoff push in the half of 2010. McNabb is due a $5 million base salary this season and a $6.2 million roster bonus.
Washington acquired McNabb from the Eagles on April 4 in exchange for a 2010 second-round draft pick (37th overall) and either a third- or fourth-round pick in 2011 based on McNabb's performance.
McNabb has been asked almost weekly about an extension this season, and he's repeatedly said that he hopes to play in Washington for many years. McNabb even mentioned at his introductory news conference that "I'm going to prepare myself to be here for years to come."
Shanahan's decision to bench him at Detroit two weeks ago apparently didn't change his mind.
The Redskins have also repeatedly said McNabb would be the team's franchise quarterback, though Shanahan said prior to the Lions' game that he wouldn't personally talk about an extension with McNabb during the season.
^that's crazy..i thought he was for sure out of washington after the whole grossman ordeal. can't wait to see him go up against the eagles tonight, vick vs mcnabb has the makings of a classic
i just got home from work and found out.
not quite sure what to think.
can only hope for the best.
bad feeling about tonight's game.
it doesnt mean anything....they can cut him whenever...they throw money at everyone.
but mcNabb's best years are behind him.
guarenteed 40 mil at this point in his career is absurd though.Quote:

queen, they don't necessarily think he will be around for 5 more years. the longer they make the contract, the less his signing bonus counts against the salary cap each year that he plays. they may have needed to make it 5 years just to stay under the cap for next year.
for instance, if he got a $20 million signing bonus, each year of his contract $4million will count against the cap. had they only signed him to a 2 year deal, $10 million would count against the cap.
very perceptive art.
Oh I see. Didn't realize all of that. But next year there's not gonna be a cap right? I'm just askin in general not referring to McNabb.

valid point. i didn't think about that. you're right.
whoah!!! 28-0 in the first Q!

"I was falling down and I wasn't expecting to get hit," Ward said, according to the newspaper's website. "He hit me, and that is what caused the head, neck [injury] or whatever you guys want to call it. I don't know what the league wants. It is what it is. It was helmet-to-helmet, and I thought that is what usually causes a fine. I am not going to sit there and worry about if the guy got fined or not."
The only problem? It wasn't Chung who apparently hit Ward helmet to helmet as Ward was being tackled; it was James Sanders.
No fine has been assessed on the play, although the NFL usually doesn't release fines until Friday.
Yes! Although I still have doubts about our offensive line and Cutler throwing into traffic.Quote:

that's a yes
I get tired of hearing that 'it is what it is' phrase all the time. Usually when people don't have anything interesting to say, that decide to say that stupid phrase.
it is what it is check two, what can you do??
The Bears D is all they have. A good team can shut Forte completely down he is not a great back. The Giants proved that when we contained and bottled his ass up. The Bears D isn't the '85 D though [the only time the Bears ever won a Super Bowl]. So let's chill with that best team talk. With all due respect, the best team from the NFC will be decided Sunday Night. And that is what it is.
The next best team in the NFC behind the Bears is the Falcons. The Giants got blown out by a one win team.
