Cards acquire Matt Barkley from Eagles for conditional 7th-round pick
— -- The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to trade a conditional seventh-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for quarterback Matt Barkley, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Eagles will receive the pick if Barkley is on the roster for six games.
The move would appear to open a spot for Tim Tebow to make the Eagles, as he had been battling Barkley to be the third quarterback behind starter Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez.
Barkley will be the Cardinals third-string quarterback. Carson Palmer is the starter and Drew Stanton his backup. Rookie Phillip Sims tweeted that he had been cut Friday and Logan Thomas, a fourth round pick in 2014, was also cut, a source told ESPN.
Barkley finished the preseason with 27 completions on 52 attempts for 351 yards. He had two passes intercepted.
The move was earlier reported by Fox Sports.
