Josh McCown to Coach Charlotte High School Football in 2019 Despite Eagles Contract

Eagles quarterback Josh McCown signed on to play for a 17th season when he agreed to a one-year contract with Philadelphia on Aug. 17, and his deal came with a pretty solid perk.

McCown will be allowed to coach high school football in Charlotte this fall. He will join the sidelines at Myers Park High School each Friday night, according to NJ.com's Zack Rosenblatt. Philadelphia's backup QB will then fly back to the Eagles either on Friday night or Saturday morning.

“The proximity to Charlotte was a factor, and part of why it made sense to sign here," McCown told Rosenblatt.
