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.

Steelers CB Taylor is ready to leave after contract expires
The Pittsburgh Steelers Ike Taylor is already in his final year of his current contract with team but he still receives no confirmation from team officials that whether he will receive a contract extension during this new season. The 30-year-old veteran is really expecting a new contract but he is ready for receiving none.
"Deep down in my heart, I want to retire as a Steeler," Taylor told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I’ve been here seven years. I’m a Steeler all the way. But it’s on them if we can agree—be on the same page. If not, I’ve gotta move on."
It seems that Taylor may take the final contractual season as his last NFL season and he may do his best to achieve as much as possible with the determination to retire as an honored Steeler. The Steelers have a tradition to let free agent ago one contract expires no matter how greatly they are achieved. So Taylor does not think he has big chance to be the exception. But at his age, Taylor can still play for several more years. Being asked what team he would like to join if he has to choose, Taylor pointed to the Michael Irvin jersey he was wearing and said that the Dallas Cowboys are a top choice.

Patriots LB Guyton received two-year contract extension
As a third-year linebacker, the New England Patriots linebacker Gary Guyton said goodbye to his restricted free agency by signing on a two-year contract extension that pays him much more than what would have got from the one-year tender contract. The linebacker was excited about his valued being confirmed by the team, which is his first and only team since he was signed as an undrafted free agent two years ago.
"We're absolutely thrilled that the Patriots have done this for him," Guyton's agent, Richard Kopelman, told the Herald. "It's fantastic. He's worked very hard. They know it. We had some discussions with them awhile back. 'Hey, if you could, it'd be great if you could step up and do a little something for Gary this year.' And they told us they would. They were true to their word, which was fantastic."
If the Patriots insisted on only offering Guyton the one-year tender, the linebacker would have to live on a base salary of $470,000, but the new contract raised his salary to $505,000 for 2010 season and $1 million in 2011. Guyton was also offered a $650,000 signing bonus. He previously thought the team would have him put on Vikings jersey to trade for another linebacker or replace him with rookie Brandon Spikes. Now the contract extension apparently secures his job with the team.

Texans Coach Kubiak will get contract extension
According to reports by the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Texans will keep Coach Gary Kubiak by giving him a contract extension next week. And the Texans believe keeping Kubiak with them is necessary to get chance into postseason in following season.
Kubiak has spent four years with the players in Texans jerseys and there is only one year left in his five-year contract with the team. As Bob McNair doesn’t want the coach going into the season with lame-duck status, he is reportedly to sign a contract extension with Kubiak, keeping him through at least the 2013 season.
Under Kubiak’s coaching, the Texans finished the 2009 season with nine wins and seven losses along with a chance to make the playoffs. And Kubiak is the first coach who has even led the Texans to so close ever to making the postseason.
