Matt Barkley could be cut by Philly if he doesn’t perform well
CSN Philly believes there’s a chance the Eagles could trade or release second-year QB Matt Barkley.
Eagles have Barkley as their number three quarterback right now splitting reps with GJ Kinne. If Barkley does not impress during the pre-season his career in Philly could be over. I think he understands that as well.
“I figure every chance you get to be on the field in front of an audience is a tryout of sorts,” he said, “whether it’s for your own team, your own self or for another team. You have to prove that you’re capable of playing in the NFL.
“I’m not going to be thinking of it as a test while it’s happening — I’m just going to be playing, having fun — but when it comes down to it, that’s what is going on.”
