The Philadelphia Eagles signed free agent quarterback Joe Callahan on Monday afternoon, according to an announcement from the team. The Callahan signing was first reported by Mike Garafolo last week but now it’s officially official.
Callahan, 24, is likely nothing more than a camp arm for the Eagles. Carson Wentz, Nick Foles, and Nate Sudfeld all rank ahead of him on the depth chart.
So why sign Callahan if he doesn’t have a chance to make the team? It’s all about reps. Wentz isn’t expected to participate in spring practices as he recovers the knee injury he suffered last season.
