Eagles pickup QB Josh McCown to fill backup role QB retired earlier this summer By: Mike Krueger | Aug 17 2019, 9:15 am
Josh McCown, who announced his retirement this summer to spend more time with his family, is returning to play his 17th NFL season with the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN. A source said McCown is signing a one-year deal with the Eagles. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take:McCown (40) probably likes the idea of playing for a team that has a realistic chance of making the playoffs and can return to the broadcast booth after the season is over. The Eagles have QB issues with both Nate Sudfeld (broken wrist) and Cody Kessler (concussion) suffering injuries in camp.
