Eagles Overhaul QB Room, Cut Rookies and Acquire Vikings' Howell

In a surprising turn of events, the Philadelphia Eagles have completely overhauled their quarterback room in the past week. Just a few days ago, the Eagles' QB depth chart consisted of Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and rookie Kyle McCord. However, the team has since made several significant changes.

First, the Eagles cut ties with both Thompson-Robinson and McCord, parting ways with the two rookie signal-callers. This came as a bit of a shock, as it was widely speculated that either McCord or Thompson-Robinson would make the final roster behind Hurts.

The Eagles weren't done there, though. They then acquired Sam Howell in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings. This move was likely prompted by reports that Tanner McKee may not be ready for the start of the season due to an injury. With McKee's status uncertain, the Eagles moved quickly to bring in Howell as additional depth behind Hurts.

These roster changes come just days before the Eagles have to finalize their 53-man squad for the start of the 2025 NFL season. It's clear the team is still evaluating its options at the quarterback position, and more surprises could be in store before the season opener.
