It all started when the Eagles traded LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for Kiko Alonso.
The team also garnered attention when Frank Gore backed out of a deal with team and left for Indianapolis.
It then picked up again when the Eagles acquired oft-injured Sam Bradford from the St. Louis Rams for Nick Foles and signed free agent running back DeMarco Murray.
It picked up once again when the team brought in Tim Tebow for a workout.
Now, the team is looking to make another move regarding a quarterback.
According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, with the Eagles making moves at the quarterback position, quarterback Matt Barkley can be had for a late round pick.
Eagles working out QBs - such as Tebow - should never be connected to Bradford rumors. Matt Barkley can be had for late draft pick, though.

Barkley was drafted in the fourth-round of the 2013 draft by the Eagles out of USC.
Barkley hasn’t seen much time at the NFL level and has zero career touchdowns but four interceptions.
Barkley has yet to have a breakthrough at the NFL level and it appears the team is ready to move on.
With draft picks being such a hot commodity in the league, it will be interesting to see if any team in need of a quarterback will trade for Barkley to give him a chance.
Barkley threw just one pass last season and there hasn’t been much of a sample size to fully determine if he can perform at the NFL level.
If Bradford does indeed get another chance to start, it might not be with the Eagles who continue to revamp their entire roster from top to bottom.
