Veteran free agents to eye, ignore for Eagles possible backup QB vacancy

Could the Philadelphia Eagles consider banking on a little Fitzmagic?

It isn’t to the same level as James Harden, but Ryan Fitzpatrick‘s beard isn’t too bad either. We might be a bit biased on that one. On a serious note, ‘Fitzmagic’ has been considered one of the top options on the bridge quarterback market for years.

There is no in-between with his level of play. It’s either complete domination or free touchdowns for opposing defensive backs. The Eagles were unfortunately on the opposite end of two dominating performances in 2018 and 2019.

Even at 39-years-old, he’ll likely be too expensive for the Eagles to consider. Washington was desperate last year and threw ten million at him. Due to the hip injury that kept him out of the entire season and the age, his price tag could decline but not enough for him to be an option for Philly.

Verdict: Ignore. This makes very little sense for both the Eagles and Fitzpatrick.
