The two transactions on Monday, one to start the day and one to end the evening, further define the Eagles’ quarterback picture, one that has taken a full 12 months to take shape. It’s been a “Merry Go Round,” as Howie Roseman puts it, and he’s right: The Eagles have continually addressed the game’s most important position to get it just the way they want it.
By first adding Nick Foles on a two-year deal and then releasing Chase Daniel, the Eagles feel they’ve improved the backup position behind starter Carson Wentz and they’ve established stability for 2017 and beyond.
