While he was traded away by his former team Philadelphia Eagles, veteran quarterback Donovan McNabb received much better treatment from his new team Washington Redskins. At age 34, he is now facing a big chance to receive contract extension from the Redskins. Now he may have changed him mind from putting on a Vikings jersey after the 2010 season to retire as a Redskin.
"We really haven’t started (talks)," Redskins GM Bruce Allen told Comcast SportsNet. "Donovan is so excited about this new opportunity—the team has embraced him, our fans clearly have embraced him. We’ll have plenty of time to get something done with him. We see him as part of our future. We would not have made the trade unless we see it that way, and he knows it.”
Unlike the high-profile 41-year-old quarterback wearing No.4 Brett Favre jersey, McNabb may not be able to play as well as he used to play when he was younger. What’s good with McNabb was that he has been calm with the changes and knows well that his value dropped as he grew old. If a contract extension is offered by the Redskins, he will just do his best to help the team, just to show his gratitude for being treated still as a key role.

Eagles offensive coordinator did not think Vick disrupted offense rhythm
After it was reported that the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Donovan McNabb was unhappy with the way Michael Vick was used in the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The reports said that McNabb thought he Vick plays were disrupting the offense's rhythm and momentum. However, the team’s offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said on Sunday that Vick was helped the offense, not disrupted.
“We did have a quick discussion about that,” Mornhinweg said of discussion with McNabb. “We all do our jobs; that’s it. I understand, but that’s secondary to what we’re trying to do. You are not going to let one or two plays throw us out of rhythm and that’s for every position.”
Vick was involved in just six plays Thursday night and took part in the Eagles’ first four drives. He will also play this Thursday night against the New York Jets in the Eagles’ final preseason game, which McNabb will not take part in.
