erm.... no he isnt.
He is locked only into the first 9 years of the contract he signed back in 2002.
Donovan McNabb-McNabb signed his 12 year, 115 million dollar contract during the 2002 season. The deal voids down to 9 years, 70 million; which locks him up through the 2010 season. He recieved a 13.5 mil signing bonus when he signed the deal, and a 7 mil option bonus in March 2004. The following cap numbers were reported by Len Pasqueralli:
2002: $5,754,000 (1.5 mil base salary) 2007: $8,835,000 (5.5 mil base salary)
2003: $7,871,000 (4 mil base salary) 2008: $9,635,000 (6.3 mil base salry)
2004: $8,948,000 (4 mil base salary) 2009: $9,206,000 (9.2 mil base salary)
2005: $8,949,000 (4 mil base salary) 2010: $10,006,000 (10 mil base salary)
2006: $8,834,000 (5.5 mil base salary)
They would take a 3.3million hit salary cap wise but would receive draft pick compensation + be let out of 20million worth of salary.
Just 6 months ago the papers were buzzing about how McNabb might be dealt to Chicago which tells me that the Eagles are at least open to the thought of moving McNabb if the right offer were made.
