Jason La Canfora reports that the Eagles are signing QB Mark Sanchez on Thursday.

• Mike Garafolo reports that the “everything has checked out” regarding Sanchez’s physical and confirms that he will be signing with the Eagles.
• Brian Costello of the New York Post reported last night that Sanchez was meeting with the Eagles Wednesday and a deal could come be done soon.
• ESPN’s Chris Mortensen first reported on Monday that, pending a physical, Sanchez is expected to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Sanchez, 27, is coming off of a season-ending shoulder injury and cleared waivers on Monday.

The Eagles allowed Michael Vick to depart in free agency, and although they used a fourth-round pick on QB Matt Barkley last year, it appears as though they would prefer to bring in guy with some experience to backup Nick Foles.

This could be a great opportunity Sanchez to take some time and get back to full strength while working with an explosive offense in training camp.
