The Facts: Considered by many to be the best quarterback option on the market, the Eagles and Sanchez have a strong mutual interest in reuniting next season, a person close to the situation who requested anonymity told NJ Advance Media. Whether a deal will be completed before the unofficial start of free agency remains to be seen. Sanchez can begin fielding calls from other teams on Saturday at noon.

Diehards Line:After beginning last season as a backup, Sanchez was forced onto the field when starter Nick Foles injured his collarbone. He finished his nine-week stretch as the team's quarterback with 2,418 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while completing 64.1 percent of his passes. Although it can be debated if he is a quarterback that the team would want starting all 16 games, as a backup, it's hard to argue with Star-Ledger staffer Eliot Shorr-Parks' contention that Sanchez fits exactly what the Eagles need. The Eagles' offense actually averaged more points per game (27) against better competition than they did with Foles (22 points) against easier opponents and more than a few fantasy owners made playoff pushes thanks to the veteran.
