Mike Garafolo reports that the Eagles are expected to sign QB Joe Callahan.
Garafolo mentions that the Eagles also explored signing QB J.T. Barrett before he signed with the Saints and Callahan could earn “plenty of reps” in the preseason with Carson Wentz still recovering from an ACL injury.
Callahan, 24, wound up signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Wesley College back in May of last year. He was able to make the 53-man roster as the team’s No. 3 quarterback coming out of the preseason but was later cut loose.
Callahan had brief stints with the Saints and Browns before returning to the Packers during the 2016 season.
Green Bay cut Callahan loose as they trimmed their roster down to 53 players and he was later signed to their practice squad. After Rodgers went down with a collarbone injury, the Packers promoted Callahan to their active roster.
The Packers re-signed Callahan as an exclusive rights free agent a few weeks ago.
In 2017, Callahan appeared in one game for the Packers and completed five of seven pass attempts for 11 yards and no touchdowns of interceptions.
