Bleeding Green Nation on Cole Payton

Sixth-round rookie Payton shown promise but limited preseason snaps raise questions about roster fate.

Sixth-round rookie QB with limited preseason exposure due to the lingering QB2 competition. The source notes 'Cole Payton has been encouraging enough this summer to argue he's shown enough be on the initial roster,' but his snaps have been restricted. In the final preseason game, he was utilized as a personal protector on the punt unit and did not take snaps under center until after the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter. The source speculates the Eagles may have been trying to hide him to get him through waivers, though acknowledges this is unlikely. His roster status remains uncertain given the crowded QB room.
