Update:ย
Dennis Dixon‘s agent,ย Jeff Sperbeck, tweets that the quarterback has agreed to terms with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Several reports have indicated that Dixon’s deal is a two-year contract.
Dixon played under Kelly while at Oregon, so there’s a pretty obvious connection here. It makes sense to see Kelly bring in someone who’s familiar with his offensive system, even if it’s unlikely that he would be their long-term solution at quarterback.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Nick Foles now that Philadelphia has re-signed Michael Vick and brought in another quarterback with a similar skill set.
