CSN Philly Eagles reporter Geoff Mosher said QB Michael Vick could be a roster casualty if HC Chip Kelly is sold on QB Nick Foles and the promise of QB Matt Barkley.

Fantasy Impact:

Vick hasn't done a whole lot this offseason to help himself. He came out publicly and said the Eagles need to decide on a QB sooner rather than later, which many saw as a sign of weakness for Vick. While most feel the competition is between Vick and Foles, there are many who follow the team who are quick to not count out Barkley.

Michael Vick has "toughest road" to start

Eagles beat writer Geoff Mosher on the Eagles' QB competition:

It’s obvious to me that Michael Vick actually has the toughest road to the starting job, more than Nick Foles or Matt Barkley. At 33, which he turned last month, he’s far and away the oldest quarterback on the roster. At more than $7 million this year, he’s also far and away the most expensive. New coaches tend to build their programs around young franchise signal callers, not aging ones whose best days are well behind them.

It also helps that Foles and Barkley are much more salary-cap friendly than Vick. Even if it’s a tie between Vick and Foles or Vick and Barkley as training camp progresses this summer, what impetus would Chip Kelly have to stick with Vick?

It’ll be interesting to see if Barkley can elbow his way into the competition. Logic dictates that if Barkley is just a hair behind Vick and Foles, the coaches will go with him and take their lumps for a few games if they believe he has the most upside, much like the Seahawks did last season with Russell Wilson and the Niners did with Colin Kaepernick.

Fantasy Impact:

Vick seemingly is the best fit for Kelly's offense, though Mosher's take certainly throws some cold water on his upside. This is a camp battle to monitor -- at this point, Vick's ADP (11.08) is too steep for a player embroiled in a bona fide QB competition.

Fourth-round Eagles QB Matt Barkley likely won’t figure into the Philadelphia Eagles’ competition for the starting quarterback job, a battle that should play out between Michael Vick and Nick Foles into training camp.

But the former USC standout, who began last season as the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the eyes of many, has been fairly impressive in offseason workouts, and could loom as a key piece in the club’s long-term future. One reason is that Barkley has at least a cursory familiarity with Chip Kelly’s offense, having seen it from the sidelines in the Pac 12.

Fantasy Impact:

This report is consistent with those who follow the team closely out of Philly, and some have gone as far to not rule Barkley out of getting the job. It will be an interesting training camp for the Eagles as far as naming a starting QB.

Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia Eagles beat writer Geoff Mosher broke down the Eagles depth chart, and talked about the QB position where right now there seems to be no clear-cut favorite between Michael Vick and Nick Foles.

Fantasy Impact:

Vick is the logical choice given what we know about HC Chip Kelly's offense, as well as Vick's contract and the tendency to play the guy making the most money - in Vick's case about 7 million. Vick has the most fantasy upside, too, but is often injured, and we just don't know if Kelly is going to be an NFL genius or a total flop. That said, Vick is ranked 15th among our QBs and is worth a later-round pick as a backup. Of course, some media even feel rookie fourth-rounder Matt Barkley has a shot to start as well.
