Eagles Make Final Cuts

The Eagles announced their final round of rosters cuts on Saturday afternoon. While the team only needed to get the roster down to 53 players, they trimmed the roster all the way down to 52 by getting rid of Tim Tebow, leaving the door open for another quarterback to be brought in.

Below is a list of players who were cut by the Eagles in the process.

QB: Tim Tebow
RB: Raheem Mostert
WR: Rasheed Bailey; Freddie Martino; Quron Pratt
TE: Andrew Gleichert; Eric Tomlinson
OL: Brett Boyko; Malcolm Bunche; John Moffitt; Julian Vandervelde
LB: Najee Goode; Deontae Skinner; Diaheem Watkins
DT: Travis Raciti
DE: Brian Mihalik
CB: Randall Evans; Jaylen Watkins
S: Chris Prosinski; Ed Reynolds
P: Kip Smith

Initially thought to have been waived, WR Jeff Maehl was actually placed on the IR according to ESPN's Adam Caplan.

With the cuts out of the way, and one spot remaining, the Eagles will likely be in the market for a third string quarterback. Among the many names that just became available on Saturday is Christian Ponder, who was released by the Raiders.

According to the NFL Network's Rand Getlin, the Eagles have shown interest in Ponder.

Multiple sources tell me the #Eagles have interest in Christian Ponder. Team always maintained it's about putting together "the best 53".

It should be an interesting couple of days, as we all await to see what the Eagles do with that empty roster spot.
