Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - QB Contract Extensions: Brady agrees to deal; Peyton next? McNabb??

It is not the most ideal situation for McNabb going into the the current season as basically a lame-duck QB with so much uncertainty surrounding 2011.

Since he is virtually a QB in transition, his situation differs to some extent compared to a Brady or Manning who both have established reputations with their respective teams. If McNabb does not play well to start the season, or [god forbid] he get's injured and is out for an extended period, his perceived value could change.

It's likely some early parameters have already been established on a contract extension, but I also see a cautious approach being taken. Now, I know Donovan has said all the right things, he's savvy enough to know what to say when the lights come on. Starting Sunday night, all eyes are going to be on #5, his ability to stay healthy and to play well when he is will play a large role in contract negotiations.
