In March, Fletcher Smith, Donovan McNabb’s agent, told the Chicago Tribune that he wasn’t sure what the next move would be for his client. According to Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal, we now know what that will be.
The six-time Pro Bowler, selected in the first round of the 1999 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, is moving on to a career in broadcasting. Mullen reports that McNabb has signed with Maxx Sports and agent Mark Lepselter in preparation for work with one or more networks.
“We’re just weighing our options right now,” Smith told the Tribune back then. “No real set timetable to make a decision on what he is going to do this year. So he’s in a holding pattern at this point.”
“Obviously, once his career is over, he has got a career in broadcasting. And that’s an option as well,” Smith said. “I think right now we haven’t closed the door on anything. He’s keeping his options open. When he is ready to make a decision, everyone will know.”
