Eagles made the right call in signing Jamie Newman as their QB3

The NFL Draft was always going to be a minefield for the Philadelphia Eagles. No matter what they did, fans and analysts alike were anxiously hovering their fingers over the panic button. Just one year removed from drafting Jalen Hurts, a decision that sparked many catalysts that led to the ugly end to what was previously a very impressive era, the concern was that Howie Roseman would do it again. Instead, he surprisingly waited until after the Draft to add a developmental arm in the way of Jamie Newman.
