EJ Perry isn’t going to Philly after all. On Tuesday, the former Brown quarterback agreed to sign with the Jaguars after initial reports had him ticketed for the Eagles (Twitter link via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com).

The Eagles were believed to have two notable undrafted free agent quarterbacks in Perry and ex-Nevada signal caller Carson Strong. While Strong received a larger-than-average $320K guarantee for his weekend deal, other teams still had interest in Perry.
Perry — who started out at Boston College — was named the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2021 after throwing for 3,033 yards and 23 touchdowns in just ten games. He also showed dual-threat potential, tacking on 402 rushing yards and seven TDs via the ground.
It’s not clear if Perry has a better path to the 53-man roster in Jacksonville. The Jaguars already have former No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence under center with C.J. Beathard and Jake Luton in reserve.
The Eagles, meanwhile, have some new options to consider beyond starter Jalen Hurts. If GM Howie Roseman elects to trade Gardner Minshew, Strong and Reid Sinnett could vie for the QB2 spot.
Ivy leaguer- not stupid
He certainly has a better shot at making the roster in Jacksonville than Philly.
Smart move, was at best #5 in Philly and hoping for a practice squad lace. Two many QBs is not good because they don’t need 5 guys and he wouldn’t be slinging balls even in practice.
Two UDFA QBs in the same camp isn’t good for anyone.
He also has a decent chance to be the #3 in J’ville if he shows enough promise in camp.
Easily could have a shot being Lawrence’s clip board holder than in Philly, he have to beat Strong, Sinnett, and Minshew, that’s a 5 man QB room. In Jax he can probably beat both Beathard and Luton for the #2 job, if he’s decent enough, but he’s more readily to stick as the #3 there at the very least. He just would never beat out Minshew for the #2, and honestly they would maybe just pick Sinnett just because of him being in the system a year longer. If they even use a third QB.
if Reid Sinnett is the Eagles #2 next year I will vomit
Minshew two, Strong three. Sinnett practice squad
More turmoil in the Philly FO. What in the world is going on there?
