Syracuse Football: NFL cut week likely won't end well for beloved Orange quarterback

Things aren't looking so good for Kyle McCord to make the Philadelphia Eagles roster for the NFL's upcoming 2025 season.

On Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported via X that the Eagles were involved in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings. The Eagles will receive former North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell and a 2026 sixth-round pick.

The Vikings are getting a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick. That Philadelphia traded for another quarterback likely signals that McCord, the former Syracuse football star signal-caller, won't be with his hometown Eagles beyond training camp.
