why no extension?

I'm reporting the Eagles and Kevin Kolb have agreed on a one-year contract extension with roughly $12.26 million guaranteed.

Is that what we are expecting for McNabb? Does it impact the negotiations with McNabb?

They must have the utmost confidence in him to sign him all the way through 2011.

here is a thought on who might NOT be laughing:

An issue that I'd guess we haven't heard the last of: Wonder what Eagles WR DeSean Jackson thinks of Kevin Kolb's contract extension...

D. Jackson has only played 2 years though, I would guess he's got at least another 2 years on his deal. Of course, he could demand to be paid anytime & would have some leverage based on his production.

He has a base salary of $550,000 and roster bonus of $764,625 for 2010. Not much for a starting QB. Giving him a 1 year extention for 12.25 mil is not exactly a ringing endorsement. Though it does show more confidence than JC was shown.

do we even know if mcnabb and the skins are talking extension?

Well Kolb's not much of a starting QB. As far as JC is concerned I'm curious to see how Skins fans will react if he has a breakout season. I have never been a huge fan but I do hope he does have a great season. Oakland seems to really believe in him. It will be interesting to see how he does. Have a good night 53.

It must all be signing bonus - which is exempted, but also guaranteed. That would explain the 100 % guarantee on the contract.

Technically a veteran can't have their contract renegotiated twice within a 12 month period (and McNabb just had his renegotiated with his extension last June). But I'm not entirely sure how that rule applies when a player changes teams

I just did some reading on the 30% rule and came away with the same conclusion.
