Analysis: The deadline for adding non-prorated salary to a player's contract is monday of week 10. After that, any increase in salary gets prorated as though it is a signing bonus."

That is from the current CBA and may be a part of why the deal got done before 4pm today. Just means any increase in this years salary doesn't get pro-rated ala a signing bonus.

Overall, McNabb was gonna get paid, and this seems about right to me, it's not Peyton Manning money, but it is reflective of a multi year PB contender, and top (not elite) qb.
