Dennis Dixon Says Eagles’ QB Job Is Up For Grabs

Found February 18, 2013 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dennis Dixon,  Michael Vick,  Nick Foles
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
It’s clear that one of Chip Kelly’s 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 he’s 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. “It’s going to be a very competitive nature around here. It’s pretty much open. May the best man win.” Of course, from an outside perspective, we know that’s not exactly true. Michael Vick recently re-structured his deal, and he’ll make a reported $7 million just for being on the team next season. Nick Foles is also on the roster, although it’s possible he could be traded in the coming months. Source: PhillyMag.com
