Get Ready for a New Era in Philadelphia: Eagles Introduce New Quarterback for a Comeback Reunion
Don’t call it a comeback! Ian Book has been here for years! He’s rocking his peers, and putting suckers in fear! What’s that? A little dramatic, you say? Yeah… You’re probably right, but give us a break. The Philadelphia Eagles reacquired Ian Book, and nothing says ‘excitement’ like an L.L. Cool J reference. You have no idea how long we’ve been waiting to use a line from Mama Said Knock You Out in a story about football.
Seriously though. Jalen Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, and Kenny Pickett has a rib issue. That being said, it makes sense why the Birds would add another offensive signal-caller.
Eagles news: Philly announces three roster moves.
Shortly after news broke that the Eagles hosted Ian Book for a free-agent visit, they officially announced his signing. He has been signed to the practice squad along with running back Lew Nichols. Defensive back Tariq Castro-Fields was released in a subsequent move.
Book was claimed off waivers by Philly on August 31, 2022. He was waived on August 29, 2023. He has appeared in one NFL game, a 2021 start with the Miami Dolphins vs. the New Orleans Saints team that drafted him.
