Philadelphia Eagles roster outlook for 2020: Quarterbacks
The free-agency period and draft are over for the Philadelphia Eagles. Roster battles will begin now, especially the one involving Philly’s quarterbacks.
It’s been an interesting couple of months. There’s been a wave of free-agent signings and an NFL Draft. Now, the Philadelphia Eagles and the other 31 teams will begin building their rosters. In a quarterback-driven league, per Eagles vice president and general manager Howie Roseman, Philly wants to be a “quarterback factory”. Step one, draft a signal-caller, Jalen Hurts, in the second round of the selection meeting.
If you don’t know, here’s your news bulletin. This is Carson Wentz‘s team. The backup, Nate Sudfeld, signed a one-year contract extension on March 24th.
Kyle Lauletta is here as well, but that’s really only because teams typically take four quarterbacks into the preseason. Any playing time that he gets will, most likely, be an audition to play somewhere else.
The depth chart here for the Eagles at the quarterback position is probably the only depth chart that’s already set, outside of the specialists.
We know jake Elliott is the kicker, Cameron Johnston is the punter, and Rick Lovato is the long snapper. We know Philly’s quarterbacks are Carson Wentz, Nate Sudfeld, and Jalen Hurts. Unless something traumatic happens, that’s the lineup.
Let’s take an initial look at all three heading into 2020’s Spring and Summer.
