Donovan McNabb
Donovan McNabb was informed by Andy Reid that he will be back with the Philadelphia Eagles next season.
Coach Reid told McNabb that he will be back in green in 2010 during the quarterback’s annual exit physical according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“That’s all that matters,” McNabb said of his return. “I heard it when he said it to you guys [the media], but I heard it before anyway. I think a lot of people look too far into things with all the assumptions and this could happen. He told everybody I’m going to be there, and I’m his guy. I don’t see anything that anybody should look into.”
Still, there are those who continue to speculate that the 11-year veteran could wind up in Minnesota, St. Louis or Arizona. Those are rumors McNabb will not address.
“I don’t even get into that . . . until that would happen,” McNabb said. “I love being in Philly. I’ve been there 11 years, we’ve had a lot of success over the years, and I don’t believe in starting somewhere and going somewhere else to finish your career.
“I believe in starting somewhere and finishing what you started. My goal was to win a Super Bowl and bring it back to Philadelphia. I think they deserve it. We’ve given them some great years, but we haven’t been able to finish. I think good things have to happen pretty soon.”
McNabb also concedes that backup quarterback Kevin Kolb is probably getting “antsy” to play.
