McNabb gets raise, now wants a title

Donovan McNabb got a big raise from the Philadelphia Eagles. Now the quarterback wants to deliver a Super Bowl title.

“I think it’s important that we focus in on what we have to do in order to achieve that common goal,” McNabb said Friday.

McNabb and the Eagles agreed late Thursday to restructure the final two years of his contract instead of extending his current deal. McNabb reportedly will collect $24.5 million over the next two seasons. That would be a $5.3 million raise over two years.

A Favre visit?

ESPN reported that the Minnesota Vikings are planning to send a trainer and a coach to Mississippi to work with Brett Favre. They want to assess the retired quarterback’s progress since he had arthroscopic surgery two weeks ago to repair a partially torn biceps tendon in his right arm, the network reported.
