The Eagles signed Josh McCown as their backup quarterback to a very unique deal. McCown is reportedly getting paid $12,000 a week and doesn’t have to report to the team. The QB will be able to continue to live in Texas and join practice squad meetings via zoom. The 41-year old is now the oldest practice squad player in NFL history.

No one thought McCown would play last year but he did take the field in a playoff game and tore his hamstring off the bone. So is there a chance we may see McCown back on the field this season?

Sports Illustrated host Kaitlin O'Toole is joined by Eagles Maven Ed Kracz for insight.
