The Facts:
During a discussion with Philadelphia-area reporters, McNabb addressed a number of issues, but he knew the conversation would eventually turn to his desire to speak with HC Andy Reid and team president Joe Banner. Asked if he wanted a meeting to discuss a new contract, he couldn't have been any blunter. "Everyone knows that," McNabb said. "You guys know it, and you've talked about it. We'll just leave it behind closed doors."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
McNabb, who is signed through 2010, is scheduled to make $9.2 million next season and $10 million in the final year of his deal. Exactly what kind of deal, if any, the Eagles would be willing to work with McNabb isn't known. As Inquirer staffer Bob Brookover explained, Reid and Banner have both made it clear that they want the QB to return in 2009, but it's not as certain that the team would be willing to rework his current contract. But McNabb sounds adamant. "I want things to get taken care of, and then I won't have to answer whether I'll be back the next year," he said. "I want to be in Philly."
