Eagles looking to extend Donovan McNabb

[King Taharqa]

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.
