Still miffed after his benching in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens, Eagles QB Donovan McNabb has already asked for an offseason sitdown with team management.
The NFL Network’s Adam Schefter is speculating that that conversation could lead to a Brett Favre-like showdown, with McNabb, who has two years left on his contract, asking for a new deal and significant guaranteed money.
If the Eagles balk and entertain trade offers, the asking price would start with at least two first-round picks, Schefter says.Yesterday, in an interview on Comcast SportsNet, Joe Banner reinterated that both McNabb and Andy Reid will be back next season.
“The reality is my view and our view is unambiguous,” Banner said. “We can win a championship with those people and they will be back and I’ve gone on to say we believe we’re very lucky to have them.
“We’re not gonna, as we have always done, talk about what we’re gonna do and not do publicly with contracts. But we’re obviously more than happy to sit down with Donovan and discuss or address any issue he wants. That’s not unusual. It’s probably unusual that he discussed it publicly but it’s not unusual for Andy to talk to Donovan or us to talk to Donovan. He’s a special player and been a huge part of our success and [we’re] more than happy to do that. “
