Eagles' McNabb becomes highest paid NFL player ever

PHILADELPHIA - Quarterback Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a new 12-year contract. <br> <br> Team spokesman Derrick Boyko would not disclose details Friday, but The Philadelphia Inquirer, citing unnamed sources, said the deal is for $115 million, including $20 million in guaranteed bonus money. That would make the 25-year-old McNabb the highest-paid player in NFL history. <br> <br> Boyko said the Eagles planned to announce the deal at a news conference Friday. <br> <br> McNabb was in the fourth year of a seven-year contract, under which he received a signing bonus of $11.3 million - the highest ever given by the Eagles. <br> <br> An NFL team has never signed such a lengthy contract with a player who still has that much time left on his current deal. <br> <br> McNabb, the No. 2 overall pick in the 1999 draft, is in his third year as a starter for the Eagles (2-1). He&#39;s off to the best start of his career, completing 61.3 percent of his passes for 791 yards, eight touchdowns and only two interceptions. He also leads the team with 118 yards rushing and two TDs. <br> <br> Since his first season, the Eagles are 27-13 in games started by McNabb. He&#39;s been to the Pro Bowl twice.
