The Eagles have announced that they are giving franchise QB Donovan McNabb a raise of $5.3 Million over the remaining 2 years of his contract. They are also partially guaranteeing the remaining years of that contract. They didn't offer him an extension, they didn't offer a new contract either. They basically guaranteed that he'll play out his current contract. Let's face it, the Eagle's front office hasn't been very popular over the past few years and this is a move that will further polarize some people from both the front office and McNabb himself.
I believe the team gave him a raise to make a statement to him and to the fans. The question becomes what that statement is exactly.
