Earlier this offseason, the Eagles placed a second-round tender on restricted free-agent quarterback Nate Sudfeld, who is now expected to take over for Nick Foles as the team's backup quarterback. On Monday, the day the Eagles are set to open their first round of offseason workouts, Sudfeld has reportedly signed his tender for the 2019 season, according to ProFootballTalk.Sudfeld, 25, was originally a sixth-round pick, but because the Eagles have a lot of faith in the young quarterback, they placed a second-round tender on him, which will ultimately cost them more. The second-round tender price will cost the Eagles just north of $3 million against the salary cap this season, leaving them with over $21 million in cap space (per OverTheCap.com).If you're a little confused by this process, our own Jimmy Kempski broke it down back when the Eagles first placed the tender on Sudfeld:Players with only three accrued seasons in the NFL whose contracts have expired are restricted free agents. … [Read more...] about Backup QB Nate Sudfeld signs second-round tender with Eagles

Report: Eagles to place second-round restricted free agent tender on QB Nate Sudfeld
With Nick Foles signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Philadelphia Eagles will obviously have a new No. 2 quarterback in 2019, with the most likely option being Nate Sudfeld, who was formerly the No. 3 behind Carson Wentz and Foles. According to Adam Caplan of Sirius XM NFL Radio, the Eagles have placed a second-round restricted free agent tender on Sudfeld. That was the obvious move for the Eagles, but for those of you unfamiliar with the restricted free agent process, we'll explain.Players with only three accrued seasons in the NFL whose contracts have expired are restricted free agents. The Eagles had four choices of what they could do with Sudfeld, who is a restricted free agent.They could tender him at (1) the first-round level, (2) the second-round level, (3) the level of his original draft position (or low tender), or (4) they can just let him go.Once tendered, if another team were to sign Sudfeld to an offer sheet, the Eagles would have a chance to match that offer, … [Read more...] about Report: Eagles to place second-round restricted free agent tender on QB Nate Sudfeld
Dick Harmon: BYU tight ends, others on roster gaining experience from same foreign nation
Courtesy BYU Photo BYU tight end Matt Bushman runs after making a catch during the Cougars' game against Hawaii at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu on Saturday, Nov. 25, 2017. What foreign country may have had the biggest impact on BYU football at present? It’s all about Chile, that South American country located along a narrow strip of land with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Andes Mountains on the other. It’s got BYU’s number. Take star tight end Matt Bushman. Chile was where he spent two years of his life on an LDS mission after a high school career in Tucson, Arizona, before showing up at BYU. It is also where former starting quarterback Tanner Mangum served, as did tight end Moroni Laulu-Pututau. Both Laulu-Pututau and Bushman will sit out spring practice, which begins next month. Bushman played half of last season with a torn labrum and a broken thumb and had surgery on his shoulder in January. Pututau underwent ACL surgery following an injury at … [Read more...] about Dick Harmon: BYU tight ends, others on roster gaining experience from same foreign nation
York gains Tosh final
York's boys basketball team will return to the championship of its own Jack Tosh Holiday Classic for the first time since winning it in 2015. However, the Dukes may lack a key component. After St. Laurence's Jeremiah Williams made a basket at 2:47 of the second quarter in York's 62-38 victory Saturday, officials halted play as Dukes starting guard Nate Shockey writhed in pain, clutching his left leg. The junior had to be helped from the court. He returned after halftime on crutches, his left ankle wrapped in ice."The trainer thinks it's just an ankle sprain," Shockey said after the game, calling it a lower-ankle injury."I sprained this one earlier in the year," he said. "This one, I heard a crack. We'll see, I guess. I'm probably going to get an X-ray tonight, so we'll see."Fortunately York (13-1) has an off day before facing Downers Grove South for the Tosh title at 3 p.m. Monday. For Saturday's purposes the Dukes also had the front-line depth and experience to overcome the injury … [Read more...] about York gains Tosh final
