The Facts: Sudfeld will get a chance to compete for the No. 2 QB job after the Eagles extended a second-round restricted tender to the quarterback, according to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Diehards Line:
GM Howie Roseman said at the Combine the Eagles still were deciding on Carson Wentzâs backup. Considering Wentz has missed eight games the past two seasons, the Eagles need a reliable backup to replace Nick Foles, who agreed to terms with Jacksonville. Sudfeld still can negotiate with other teams, but the Eagles will have a chance to match any offer. They will receive a second-round draft choice if they choose not to match. The tender is worth $3.1 million. The Eagles are expected to seek a veteran quarterback to compete with Sudfeld for the job. Sudfeld, 25, has appeared in three games since Washington made him a sixth-round pick in 2016. He played one game in 2017 and two last season. He is 20-of-25 for 156 yards and a touchdown.
