That was my initial thought, but I actually don't think that is the case. I think they just found an opportunity to upgrade the 3rd string QB. Minshew has been available for a while now, and Mullens has showed nothing this preseason that would make them feel comfortable about the 3rd QB position.

Maybe, but the 3rd qb spot is filled by JAGs on every team and Flacco had a very good to excellent preseason. Minshaw was competing for the starter spot in Jax and had shown competence in it. Although maybe Philly trades Flacco and some picks for Watson, then Minshaw makes a lot of sense.

I think if you can add a quality 3rd QB, especially with COVID still looming, it's the right thing to do. After all, you want to upgrade every position if you have the opportunity, and the 3rd QB is no less important.
