Eagles Analysis: Who will be their third quarterback?

Chip Kelly thankfully ended the most talked about 3rd string quarterback battle in NFL history this weekend as he parted ways with both Matt Barkley and Tim Tebow. Barkley was traded to the Arizona Cardinals for a conditional 7th round pick and Tebow was released as part of the Philadelphia Eagles final roster cuts. Both have up and down (mostly down) moments throughout camp and never really showed much promise. With the roster now at 52 and only 2 quarterbacks the Eagles have a spot to fill. As rosters were trimmed down to 53 players to meet Saturday’s 4 pm deadline a couple of quarterbacks became available that could be of interest to Chip Kelly.
