The Eagles auditioned quarterback Paxton Lynch and a host of other free agents on Tuesday, according to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM (Twitter link).
Philadelphia, of course, has already brought in one failed early-round quarterback this year in Christian Hackenberg, who didn’t make it through final cutdowns. Lynch, a first-round selection in the 2016 draft, has already met with the Bills and Lions since being cut by the Broncos last week.
Lynch, 24, failed to beat out seventh-round signal-caller Trevor Siemian in Denver for two consecutive seasons, and though he ultimately did make starts for the Broncos, his performances were abysmal. In four career starts, Lynch has completed only 61.7% of his passes for 792 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions, and was dreadful again during the 2018 preseason.
The Eagles don’t necessarily need another quarterback on their roster, as Nate Sudfeld is currently backing up temporary starter Nick Foles. Carson Wentz, still recovering from a 2017 ACL tear, is expected to be sidelined for a few more weeks.
Here’s the list of other players worked out today by Philadelphia, per Caplan:
- RB Fitzgerald Toussaint
- RB Martez Carter
- WR Shane Wynn
- LB Albert McClellan
Dez must have said no or is asking way too much. And more RBs?
If Dez really wants to be on a good team and get back at Dallas he needs to join the Eagles on 1 year ptove it deal
No thank you, don’t need that circus.
Everyone says no thank you until he signs and make plays/scores then they’re cheering and buying jerseys I remember people was talking about Mike Vick “we don’t need that media circus “ After his second week in Philly, number 7’s was every where….. Just Saying..I don’t want Dez either
Vick was signed to be a 3rd stringer and eventually got a chance and made the best of it. People didn’t want him for different reasons.
Yeah I think I’m good on the bringing in first round bust thing
