YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) @diannaESPN 3 teams heavily involved in QB Chase Daniels. Hearing Philly is the favorite but not done yet per sources So... Sanchise available? Maybe a better backup for us than EJ... Edited March 9, 2016 by YoloinOhio
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I take it you've never seen Sanchez play. That Jacksonville stretch for EJ was something I've seen Sanchez do multiple times.
Mark Vader Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 @diannaESPN 3 teams heavily involved in QB Chase Daniels. Hearing Philly is the favorite but not done yet per sources So... Sanchise available? Maybe a better backup for us than EJ... NO!
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 NO!no likey the Sanchise?I'm sorry I'm laughing. I just knew what the responses would be. EJ it is.
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Daniel signed with Philly. Does Rex still have his tattoo of Sanchez in a Bills jersey? Edited March 9, 2016 by YoloinOhio
Jauronimo Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Daniel signed with Philly. Does Rex still have his tattoo of Sanchez in a Bills jersey? Yes, and it was recently colored in blue which can only mean.... Sanchize to Buffalo!!!! It was foretold. Rex should get a tattoo of Taylor with 5 Super Bowl rings. One for each toe.
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 @caplanNFL For those asking about Sanchez, has $1m base guarantee. $4.5m base salary. Reasonable money for backup. They'll get some interest.
Saxum Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14932572/grading-big-free-agent-deals-nfl Daniel is getting paid more than your typical backup quarterback -- even your upper-echelon backups like Mark Sanchez are usually getting no more than $6 million per year, with just one year fully guaranteed. (In related news, expect Sanchez, now a third-stringer, to be cut in the near future.) That's a hint as to how Pederson and the Eagles value Daniel. While we don't know the specific structure of Daniel's deal, the length, the guarantee and the incentives (which would make the deal worth up to $36 million) all suggest that the Eagles wanted to add some built-in value if Daniel does emerge as the starter. (Daniel's last deal in Kansas City voided if he received regular playing time.) It's likely that the Eagles will begin the season with Bradford as their starter, but they're preparing for an injury or a disappointing performance with a higher-upside option than Sanchez. We still have no idea if Daniel is any good, which is why this grade isn't higher, but it's a fascinatingly aggressive move by a front office that is having a very sound week.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 @AlbertBreer Eagles QB Chase Daniel gets $7M in each of the 3 years of his deal. $12 million (all $7M this year, $5M in '17) of that is fully guaranteed.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 @AlbertBreer The Eagles will be giving new QB Chase Daniel every chance to wrest the starting job from Sam Bradford, per source. Not signed as a backup.
KD in CA Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 EJ is a sunk cost. No reason to waste $ on another bad backup.
NoSaint Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 EJ is a sunk cost. No reason to waste $ on another bad backup. Ding ding ding Do you keep EJ at a 2.8m hit on an expiring contract (i.e. Comp pick calculation down the line) Or cut ej still costing 2.8m, add Sanchez for 1-2m more, and lose the expiring contract on top of the higher total cap hit? Seems obvious to me, barring obvious upgrade (which ends up even more pricey and not making much sense)
vincec Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Sadly, Sanchez is about as good as you can expect if you go the veteran backup QB route. Not great but has some ability and a decent amount of starting experience. Anyone better could probably be a starter somewhere and won't want to come in as a backup. However, I think that if you're going to go the veteran route then you might as well stick with EJ because guys like Sanchez aren't really any better. A better option, IMO, is to draft someone and hope they turn into something good. Edited March 10, 2016 by vincec
