Mark Sanchez, QB, Philadelphia Eagles

The argument for a trade for Sanchez is tricky and unlikely, although it would make sense all-around for now and for the future.

Sanchez, who currently backs up Nick Foles in Philly, could once again become a starter and reunite with his former offensive coordinator with the Jets, Brian Schottenheimer (sarcastically speaking, a match made in football heaven.)

Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has already mentioned that he’d listen to offers for Mark Sanchez, but added that “it better be a pretty good deal in terms of what it is.”

While some see it to be an unlikely move, Sanchez gives the Rams the option of having a quarterback who’s played an entire 16-game schedule, and the option of becoming the Rams’ future if he has a successful season in St. Louis (if he’s in fact traded over.)

Sanchez only missed two games as a starter in his first four years before missing the entire 2013 season with a shoulder injury in the preseason.  He’s thrown for 12,092 yards with 68 touchdowns and 69 interceptions.  While some remember that he led the Jets to a pair of AFC title games in his first two seasons, he is mainly known for his disastrous 2012 campaign where he threw for just 2,883 yards with just 13 touchdowns and 18 interceptions, highlighted by one play: the butt-fumble.

But maybe a new city and a new team, in a lower-pressure city like St. Louis could revive what is beginning to seem like a has-been career for the “Sanchize.”
