Philadelphia Eagles Rumors: Despite remarkable developements, Tim Tebow among massive NFL players cuts; Matt Barkley traded to Arizona Cardinals, Two full seasons after he last appeared in a significant game in the National Football League (NFL), quarterback Tim Tebow’s professional playing career is back on hold.
Quarterback Tim Tebow was amongst of the Philadelphia Eagles’ final cuts to their 53-man roster on Saturday. The Philadelphia head coach Chip Kelly decided to keep just two quarterbacks – Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez – but disclose he plans to bring on a third one. Matt Barkley, who was competing with Tebow for third-string quarterback, was traded on Friday to the Arizona Cardinals.
“We felt Tim [Tebow] has progressed, but we didn’t feel he was good enough to be the (No.) 3 right now,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said.
A franchise still could land Tim Tebow after teams set their 53-man rosters, but it’s still uncertain whether there’s any club interest in the signal-caller. Tebow was paradoxical throughout the 2015 NFL preseason games after reworking his throwing motion with the renowned former MLB pitcher Tom House. In four exhibition games of limited action against the backups, Tebow completed only 58.6% of his passes.Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles stumbled upon a pretty creative move to ease their quarterback deadlock. The Philadelphia Eagles traded QB Matt Barkley — who is battling for the Eagles 53-man rosters’ third-string quarterback — to the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, the NFL franchise announced.
The NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Philadelphia Eagles will then receive a qualifying seventh-rounder draft selection that moves to a sixth-rounder pick should Matt Barkley traded to the Arizona Cardinals roster and play for six games. Matt Barkley, who was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, should be behind AZ Cardinals quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton on the depth chart, but looks likely to make the roster over Logan Thomas.
That said, it seems to be good news for Philadelphia’s quarterback Tim Tebow as he has now a massive chance of making the Eagles’ 53-man roster, although it’s early to concluded that Tim Tebow has made it to the franchise just yet. The Philadelphia Eagles could simply opt to keep both quarterbacks or the team could find a third quarterback elsewhere.
Matt Barkley was drafted by head coach Chip Kelly and former general manager Howie Roseman, but never impressed the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley serves the Eagles in three games as a rookie, throwing four interceptions without a touchdown.
