Will Banner Give DMac New Deal?

Eagles president Joe Banner says he's willing to talk to Donovan McNabb but is he willing to give him a new deal?

McNabb has made it clear that he wants a new contract.
 
Here's the response of Adam Schefter, NFl Network when asked about the future of Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia.
 
"That's the question of the off-season, Josh. This has the makings of a Brett Favre drama written on it. McNabb will want long-term security, the Eagles will balk at giving him too much of it, and it sets up a potential showdown. Now I remember two years ago, an NFC team called the Eagles and asked what it would take to get McNabb. It was told three first-round picks. Don't think the price would be that high now, but if Philadelphia ever decided it would be willing to entertain trade offers, the Eagles start by asking for at least two first-round picks.
 
The Eagles have made it clear that they have built their team around the quarterback position.  I don't think they're going to be willing to part with McNabb but that doesn't mean they're going to give him a huge signing bonus and another huge contract.
 
What do you think?  Banner is going to be on WIP tomorrow Wednesday morning. 
 
Here's a picture of McNabb at the Sixers-Knicks game on Saturday night.  Reports are that he received a nice ovation when he was introduced to the fans.
