Sanchez, who is looking to fill a backup role with the Eagles behind starter Nick Foles, struggled through multiple seasons of mediocrity in New York, and was savaged by fans and the media accordingly.
In his last full season under center (2012), the 27-year-old USC product completed 246 of 453 passes for 2,883 yards, 13 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
