Eagles picked up QB Ian Book from waivers 

Oh, yeah. That's precisely who I thought they would get.

Have the Eagles released him yet so he can pass through waivers on his way to the Practice Squad?

Blackwell claimed by Bears.

Anderson claimed by Giants.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think players claimed on waivers have to go to the 53 man roster.  This is an investment in next year.  Minshew will become a UFA and whatever happens with Hurts they'll need depth.

BTW, Book gets added to the 53 since he was claimed off waivers (he doesn't get added to the practice squad).

So, someone currently on the 53 needs to get cut.  Who goes?

The Quarterback Factory rides again!

I don't expect Book to stay on the 53 very long, but we'll see.

Yeah that’s an interesting one. Do we carry 2 on the PS? If we cut him from the 53 he goes back on the wire, no?

Correct. Book would need to pass through waivers.

If no one claims him, he could sign with our PS or any PS of his choosing.

Book is terrible and that’s coming from a Norte Dame fan. I was shocked when NO took him in the 4th. I thought he was more of a 6th-7th rounder, maybe even undrafted FA. He was awful in the game he started last year.

This Notre Dame fan agrees with you. I laughed when the Saints picked him that high.

Head scratcher for sure to pick him up off waivers forcing us to carry him on the 53.  I would have much preferred to carry just 2 on the 53 and add him (or another QB) to the practice squad to be able to call up in an emergency situation.

I’m another Notre Dame fan.  Book is a total game manager type, a la Matt Barkley.  Fine to bring in for a series or two, but you are cringing if he is your starter, even for a single game.

I hope that pitting Silly on the roster in favor of Jack Anderson and letting Anderson go to sign with the Giants doesn’t become a mistake.

So the Eagles have two quarterbacks on their PS and neither of them are named Carson Strong????

Carson Strong and Jalen Hurts in the same QB room don’t work.

Jalen like to read once and run.

Strong likes to throw down field.

The Eagles only have one quarterback on the PS.

No team wanted Carson Strong even on the PS.  Was worth a shot but didn't work out

Carson Strong in any QB room didn’t work
