What The McNabb Deal Means

The mid-afternoon image of Donovan McNabb as he was ready to leave the NovaCare Complex on Thursday was that of him walking in the hallways, with a USA Today reporter at his heels, practically begging McNabb to say anything at all. "I'm not talking about the Eagles, football," said McNabb, and kept on walking. That is the way McNabb played it the whole time as a not-so-secret series of conversations with the front office set the stage for the agreement to re-structure the remaining two years of his contract, and he'll talk about it this morning and we'll learn all the details.
