An AFC team has offered a second-round pick for Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation who spoke with Geoff Mosher of FanRag. The source says that the proposal was made to Philadelphia earlier this offseason.
The Eagles, ideally, would like to hold on to the Super Bowl MVP, but that’s a luxury they might not be able to afford given their serious numbers crunch. In a vacuum, Foles’ $7.6MM cap charge is completely justifiable, but the Eagles have bigger needs to address than the backup QB role.
The Eagles are already primed to lose tight end Trey Burton to free agency and nickel cornerback Patrick Robinson could also fly the nest. Moving Foles could help the Eagles in their bid to retain Robinson, or at least give them the draft ammo necessary to replace him and fill other holes.
The identity of the AFC team in question is not known, but the Browns, Bills, and Jets would all be logical suitors. The Dolphins, who may not be 100% confident in Ryan Tannehill, could also fit the profile of a team with interest in Foles.
he shouldnt have been traded the first time…now to possibly trade him again after he helped us win a superbowl, contemplated retiring…that would be a slap in the face!
Us? Where is your desk or locker located?
Dude settle down. A lot of people use this terminology.
It’s US! I’ve spent $10,000+ easily on the Eagles through the years. season tickets for 15 years. An insane amount on Eagles attire and collectables, and I never miss a game. Without people like me, the Eagles don’t exist. without the fans, there aren’t professional sports.
if it’s a good second round pick, that’s awesome. I’d consider it, and hope someone else wants Foles more. 2 and 3 get it done. hopefully the can get more.
Get a second rounder for a guy that might not play, plus get more spending money??? Why wouldn’t they look to trade him?
*See Carson Wentz injury*
they’ve already said they won’t just ship him off without talking with him first. assumption is he wants to start somewhere and that isn’t gonna happen in Philly
I think you could get a second and a player for him honestly. People have talked about a first. I would be pretty mad if my team gave up a first for him, but we have a QB so who knows.
Has to be the Browns.
Hopefully it is the Browns and they can have their crappy second rounder back
That would be a good move for the Browns because they could take Barkley at 1 and move 4 for a king’s ransom if someone really wanted a QB or use the pick, and they could always grab Lamar Jackson if they want a long term project for when Foles is done.
Trade him.. Sign Matt Moore, Mark Sanchez, Mike Glennon, Geno, Gabbert, Osweiler, etc… all these guys should less expensive than Foles. You need a back-up for next season, maybe 2 to 4 games if Wentz isn’t ready. Foles’ cap hit is 7.6M
HOWEVER, you need to trade him after June 1st to actually make a significant cap saving (7M vs 5.2M). So you’re looking at a pick for the 2019 draft. So I don’t see him traded on draft day.
