Nate Sudfeld is a restricted free agent. Adam Caplan tweets that the Eagles have slapped the quarterback with a second-round tender. The one-year tender will pay Sudfeld $3.095MM for the upcoming season.
As a restricted free agent, the quarterback can negotiate with any club through April 19. If he signs an offer sheet with a new club, the Eagles could match the offer to keep him. If the Eagles do not match such an offer, they will receive a second-round draft choice. While Sudfeld has shown some intrigue in four NFL appearance, it seems unlikely that a team will offer him substantial money and forfeit a valuable second-round pick in order to add him.
The 2016 sixth-round pick out of Indiana started his career with the Redskins. After being waived by Washington prior to the 2017 season, Sudfeld joined the Eagles practice squad. In two seasons with the team, the 25-year-old has appeared in four games (including playoffs). He got an extended look during the 2017 regular season finale, completing 19 of his 23 pass attempts for 134 passing yards. He also added another 22 rushing yards.
With Nick Foles out of the picture, Sudfeld will likely be the main backup to Carson Wentz in 2019.
Well, there goes getting a proven backup.
And any chance at him getting signed outside Philly. No one is giving up a 2nd to sign this guy
But at a 3rd somebody would sign him therefore they needed to tender him at this level.
My bad, his original draft round was 6th not 3rd, so he without question would’ve been swiped at the cost of a 6th.
He’s been okay, but needs more reps.
Oh….if history is any indicator, he’ll get plenty of reps in 2019
Let’s hope not
Ouch!
Damn! solid burn
You are correct good sir
Don’t feed the troll…
