Eagles Pass On Receivers For McNabb

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Tom Heckert  tells Fox 29 the team likely won't be adding a free agent receiver to Donovan McNabb's arsenal.

Heckert sat down with Anthony Gargano for an extensive interview on Thursday about the team's plans.

"It's an easy out for everyone to say we need a wide receiver but we did get one - DeSean Jackson," Heckert said. Jackson was a second-round pick last season.

Heckert believes Jackson is a prime threat at wide receiver and receivers won't be an issue for the team during the free agent season.

He also said the Donovan McNabb has been at the Eagles training facility daily since the Super Bowl and that he's been talking regularly with McNabb.

But Heckert was tight lipped about any ongoing contract talks with the star quarterback.

Heckert told Gargano that offensive line was a main focus for the team, along with backup running back.

The team doesn't expect Correll Buckhalter to return and the free agent running back has talked publicly about finding a starting job with another team.

With Jon Runyan hurt and Tra Thomas unsigned, Heckert was blunt about the team's need for a tackle if Runyan and Thomas aren't re-signed.

Hecket also said team hasn't talked to Brian Dawkins but "we'd love to have him back."
