why no extension?

The only thing I can think of is that McNabb is asking for a whole lot more than Allen is willing to pay. He is due around 11M this year, and as a top ten QB, it can be expected he will want at least a 4-5yr deal worth a minimum of 50M with a bonus and guaranteed dollars in the 15-25M range. Manning is going to get 20M per, and Brady is looking for a similar contract so McNabb is going to want a huge deal as well.

The way I see it Manning got an over priced contract. I would expect his next contract to be lower not just because he's getting older. Just like JC is good but not McNabb level, I'd say McNabb is good but not Manning level.

The money may not be an issue it might be how long the contract is for.
