Pinkston, Eagles reach six-year extension Posted: Friday August 15, 2003 4:45 PMPHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Wide receiver Todd Pinkston signed a six-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Financial terms weren't announced for a deal that runs through 2008. Pinkston would have been eligible for free agency after the 2004 season. A second-round pick in 2000, Pinkston emerged as a reliable target for quarterback Donovan McNabb last season, leading the Eagles with 60 receptions for 798 yards and seven touchdowns. He had 42 catches in 2001, 10 as a rookie. "I think it's great that we're going to be playing together for a long time," Pinkston said. "Donovan is a great quarterback. I love playing with him. I don't have to worry about contract issues any more." Pinkston and James Thrash give Philadelphia a capable if unspectacular receiving tandem. Thrash had 52 catches for 635 yards and six TDs last season. Starting running back Duce Staley is holding out for an extension. Staley, scheduled to earn $2.2 million in the final year of his contract, is upset the Eagles haven't called to discuss his future.
