No. 5 will return to Philadelphia for a 12th season.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said Donovan McNabb will be the team's quarterback next season.
Michael Vick's status remains questionable, however.
Reid sought to squelch speculation about McNabb's future with one year left on his contract.
"That's my call," Reid said Monday when asked who will make the decision to bring McNabb back. "I think he's a great player. His work over the last 11 years has proven that. I truly believe it's a team sport; it's not one guy."
McNabb has failed to lead Philadelphia to a Super Bowl victory in 11 seasons. But he had one of his finest seasons in 2009 before struggling badly in consecutive losses to Dallas. The Cowboys beat the Eagles 34-14 Saturday night in an NFC wild-card playoff game. ESPN
This is all fine and dandy if they keep Andy Reid around. I personally believe a change of scenery would be best for both Reid and McNabb, but who am I. The Eagles have a big option ahead of them because Kevin Kolb is a free agent this offseason, so will the Eagles let him go? I'm not a Kolb believer but you can't deny he has had some really good games this year. I love McNabb but he is making it very hard for me to defend him. I think Vick is definitely gone though.
