The Philadelphia Eagles are set to host free agent quarterback Joe Flacco on a visit today at the NovaCare Complex, according to a report from Pro Football Talk.
This development shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Eagles reportedly had expressed interest in Flacco last offseason before health concerns caused Philly to change course. Some other factors to consider:
The Audubon, New Jersey native grew up 20 minutes outside Philly and attended the University of Delaware. Flacco could have interest in returning close to home.
Beyond the local angle, Flacco could have a supporter in the Eagles’ front office in the form of Eagles vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl.
