Matt Barkley's time with the Philadelphia Eagles is over after the team swapped him for a conditional draft pick to the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, according to FOX Sports.Adam Schefter reported the Eagles will receive a seventh-round pick next year provided Barkley is on the Cardinals' roster for six games this season.
A fourth-round pick two years ago, Barkley did not play often for Philadelphia and was listed as the No. 3 quarterback behind starters Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. Barkley was outplayed by Tim Tebow in the Eagles' exhibition finale on Thursday night, losing what was staged as the definitive competition between the two.
The Cardinals, though, saw enough in the former USC signal caller after seeing their own season fall apart after injuries to starter Carson Palmer and his backup Drew Stanton. Meanwhile, the Eagles receive the opportunity to cash in on what appears to be a failed pick in Barkley, who offered them first little, then nothing.
