06/11/2009 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Eagles restructured the final two years of Donovan McNabb's contract on Thursday. The franchise quarterback's current deal is set to expire at the conclusion of the 2010 season.
The Eagles, who signed McNabb to a lengthy extension back in 2002, did not release the financial details but have scheduled a press conference at 10 a.m. (et) on Friday.
"We are thrilled that this all worked out," said Eagles president Joe Banner. "[McNabb] is a great football player, a great person, and someone who gives back to the community. We are lucky to have him in Philadelphia."
The second overall pick in the 1999 Draft has played his entire 10-year career in Philadelphia, guiding the Eagles to five NFC Championship games, including an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIX.
The Chicago native had a tumultuous 2008 campaign, highlighted by his benching in a Week 12 blowout loss to Baltimore. But the five-time Pro Bowl selection battled back to lead the Eagles to four victories in their final five regular season games to sneak into the playoffs, where they were once again ousted in the NFC title bout by Arizona.
McNabb has re-written the franchise's record book for quarterbacks, ranking first in passing yards (29,320), touchdowns passes (194) and completions (2,534). He also has the lowest interception percentage in NFL history (2.09 percent).
In addition, the Syracuse product has rushed for 26 TDs and 3,109 yards in his career.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
