Its clear that one of Chip Kellys goals is to create a competitive environment where every player on the Eagles roster feels like he has a chance to win a spot and make an impact.
So it should come as no surprise that newly-signed quarterback Dennis Dixon believes hes very much in the mix to be the Birds starting quarterback.
From my understanding, the job is open, Dixon said Monday afternoon during a conference call with reporters. Its going to be a very competitive nature around here. Its pretty much open. May the best man win.
Of course, from an outside perspective, we know thats not exactly true. Michael Vick recently re-structured his deal, and hell make a reported $7 million just for being on the team next season.
Nick Foles is also on the roster, although its possible he could be traded in the coming months.
