Kolb: No Contract Talks With Eagles

Appearing on Philadelphia sports radio station WIP with Howard Eskin and Ike Reese, Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb shot down rumors that he and the Eagles have been involved in contract talks.

"We haven't even talked to them as far as I know," Kolb said. "That totally blew me away when that was reported because that was obviously false.

"I don't even talk to my agent that much about it because ultimately it doesn't have anything to do with what we say. So we're kind of just sitting back right now and letting things iron out. We know there's still some time here and I'm sure there'll be a phone call some time in the near future or a meeting. But as of right now we're just going to let it iron out and have faith that the right decision's going to be made."

Last week, Garry Cobb of gcobb.com reported that the Eagles had begun negotiations with Kolb about a contract extension. Kolb, along with Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick, is signed through the 2010 season. In his two starts in 2009, Kolb became the first player in NFL history to surpass 300 passing yards in his first two career starts.

Kolb said that although there have been no talks of an extension, he sees himself in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future.
