The Eagles have signed former Nevada QB Carson Strong as an undrafted free agent, according to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. He received a $20,000 signing bonus and a $300,000 base guarantee in a clear indication that he was a priority free agent for the Eagles who will have a chance to make the roster.
Fantasy Impact: Strong entered the 2022 NFL Draft with an impressive college resume but also injury concerns because of a chronic knee condition. With the 2022 quarterback class generally considered weak, many analysts expected Strong to be drafted despite the medical red flags. While he ultimately went undrafted, a dozen teams reportedly approached him about a free agent deal. In Philadelphia, he lands in a situation where the Eagles have Jalen Hurts atop the quarterback depth chart and Gardner Minshew as the backup. Neither is a lock to be with the Eagles long-term, and there have been trade rumors surrounding Minshew dating back to last season, so Strong should have an opportunity to make the roster if he can prove that he is healthy.
