Eagles' Gardner Minshew: Likely staying in Philly

The Eagles might consider trading Minshew for an early draft pick, but the team is otherwise expected to keep him around as a backup in the final season of his rookie contract, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Minshew was excellent in his one start for Philadelphia in 2021, but Jalen Hurts then returned from an ankle injury and played well down the stretch to help the Eagles lock up a playoff spot. The Eagles then went out and traded for wideout A.J. Brown to give their offense a big boost, increasing the odds of Hurts finding success in his second year as a starter. The addition of Brown also means that Minshew will be in better position to succeed if he sees the field, but he won't have an opportunity to compete for the starting job this summer.
