BLUE 1,026 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Per Rotoworld.com: The New York Daily News is echoing an ESPN report that the Eagles are expected to sign free agent Mark Sanchez. A flurry of Sanchez reports surfaced Monday afternoon, some lightly connecting him to St. Louis and Cleveland, another to the Giants, and several to the Eagles. It's believed -- tentatively at this point -- that Philly will sign Sanchez after he passes a physical. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane added Monday that the Eagles have "definite interest" in Sanchez, but "have to check on his medical condition." Per McLane, "there are still a few hurdles to clear."

We're considering renaming Rotoworld, SanchizeWorld. Sanchez tore the labrum in his throwing shoulder last preseason, and underwent year-ending surgery on October 8. He didn't play a regular season snap in 2013. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Monday that Sanchez "has been throwing" and "is about 80 percent" recovered from the injury. "He's on good recovery," Mortensen tweeted.

In Tennessee, Sanchez would be the favorite to start over Charlie Whitehurst. Including the Giants -- as reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport -- this would put five teams on Sanchez's radar. Either Sanchez's agent is on absolute fire working media types at the NFL meetings in Orlando, or Sanchez is the hottest topic in the state of Florida. The Daily News' Manish Mehta reports Philly currently has an "edge" to land Sanchez, but it's "not a lock." Mar 24 - 5:26 PM Source: Manish Mehta on Twitter According to the New York Daily News, the Giants have "expressed a level of interest" in free agent Mark Sanchez, but "it's unlikely" that Sanchez would ultimately stay in New York. The Daily News considers the Eagles the favorites for Sanchez, with the Browns, Rams, and Titans behind them as "serious" suitors. A change of scenery -- out of the Big Apple -- would certainly seem to be in Sanchez's best interests after his Jets career crashed and burned. We're still betting Sanchez lands in Philadelphia, but the Eagles won't pull the trigger until he passes a physical.

Turry 755 Posted March 27, 2014 Eagles agreed to terms with QB Mark Sanchez, formerly of the Jets. Although competition-minded coach Chip Kelly is unlikely to formally announce Sanchez as his No. 2 quarterback over Matt Barkley, that's what he'll be. Sanchez's signing is further proof that Kelly's offense doesn't require a fleet-footed quarterback, despite much presumption to the contrary. Sanchez is not a statue in the pocket, but isn't exactly mobile. Sanchez offers loads of experience as a backup, but is the owner of a 71.7 career QB rating, and 55.1 completion percentage.
