If guys start to slide and fall towards Day 2, wouldn’t it be very Roseman to use the pick received from a Minshew trade to restart the rookie contract clock on a newer, younger QB? This is a murky quarterback draft class with no clear consensus at the top. I’m not talking about drafting someone in the first round here. It’s nothing personal against Reid Sinnett, but he can’t be second on the depth chart for an NFL team. What if the Steelers, as they enter a post-Ben Roethlisberger landscape, want to bring in Minshew as they try to find their next franchise QB? What if the Broncos forgo drafting a quarterback in the first-round and are more comfortable treading water in 2022 with Minshew manning an offense that has several talented skill-position players? Roseman should hop on that.Īgain, it’s more than fine to roll into this upcoming season with Minshew as QB2, but if the Eagles are able to move him for some nice draft capital, where do they go from there? I’m going to run down some other backup quarterback solutions in the event that the team can come upon a worthwhile Minshew trade. A year after acquiring Minshew for just a sixth and flipping him for, say, a third-round pick fits his team-building philosophy. I bring this up though because Roseman can win trades and loves to do so. The ultimate backup quarterback test I do is if a given starter missed three games, is it realistic that this guy could potentially go 2-1 during that span? Minshew passes that for me. If he has to play a game or two during the course of the season filling in for Hurts after an injury, he can win. He’s a talented back who was a key cog in a historic rushing attack and helped the Birds make the postseason. Exploring Sanders’ trade value is something the Eagles should’ve done, but to trade him for, say, a fifth-round pick just to move on wasn’t smart. I think back to the lead-up of last year’s trade deadline. Now, I’m not in the business of getting rid of players just for the sake of getting rid of players.

He’s the best backup quarterback in the league. Minshew will be entering his age-26 season and carries a cap hit just north of $2.5 million on the last year of his rookie contract. Throwing aside a meaningless Week 18 contest against the Cowboys, Minshew’s win over the Jets in the Meadowlands in Week 13 helped keep the Eagles’ playoff hopes alive as they eventually made the postseason as a Wild Card squad. Minshew started two games for the Birds in 2021. Roseman wisely swung a trade for Gardner Minshew II last August as a young quarterback with 20 starts to his name to add to the mix with Hurts. Today, however, I want to take a peek at how this QB Factory franchise will handle the quarterbacks behind Hurts on the depth chart.
There is upside in letting Hurts roll into his second campaign as the Eagles’ full-time starter for sure. Whether you want to believe that is another matter, as several veteran quarterbacks could be available via trade this offseason and the Eagles’ three first-round picks could put them in position to select a rookie signal-caller. No executive is more aggressive than Howie Roseman and certainly no franchise wheels and deals quarterbacks quite like the Birds.Īccording to Roseman, the Eagles are confident in Jalen Hurts being the team’s starter in 2022 as he enters his third season as a pro. It’s a phrase that will live in infamy among Eagles fans, but it bears true looking at how this organization has conducted itself over the last two decades.
