In a move no one saw coming, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Cody Kessler on May 12th to compete for the role of emergency quarterback with the newly-drafted Clayton Thorson. That gave Philly four quarterbacks that they’d head into the third phase of offseason OTAs with.
There wasn’t anything unusual about that. It’s typically par for the course that an NFL franchise would have about four quarterbacks competing for three roster spots. The only thing that seemed off was there didn’t seem to be a market for Kessler.
There also wasn’t much talk about Philly being interested in a guy who’s entering his fourth NFL season and is already drifting towards the ‘journeyman’ area.
