One day before the start of the team’s voluntary minicamp, the Eagles announced that they have released quarterback Trent Edwards.
That leaves Mike Vick, Nick Foles, Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinnie as the remaining quarterbacks on the roster.

Trent Edwards Dishes On Foles
A couple fun facts about Nick Foles:
– He cannot grow a mustache.
– He wears size 16 shoes, second largest on the team behind only King Dunlap (of course).
– He also (allegedly) has the biggest head on the squad.
Those tidbits are courtesy of Trent Edwards, who knows more about Foles than anyone on the team, and it’s not really close.

Trent Edwards Pleads His Case
Trent Edwards was wide-eyed as he fielded questions at his locker Thursday night. The same emotion that he showed following scoring drives was written all over his face. It looked like some combination of excitement, hope and desperation.
Edwards got to run the show for the majority of the preseason finale against the Jets and again capitalized, going 22-of-32 for 197 yards with two touchdowns. He is officially in the conversation for the third and final quarterback spot behind Michael Vick and Nick Foles.
Eagles 53-Man Roster: The Final Draft
Sorry, Sheil, sometimes that’s the way the cookie crumbles. You went first, you selected Mat McBriar as your punter, and hours later the news came down that he would be cut.

Here we go.
