If all it took was 2.5 mill why didn't bills sign him. Worth every penny.

kinda pissed that all it took Cincy to get Preston Brown was 1 year 5 mill. He is certainly worth that - though he did not exactly set Lake Ontario on fire with his play for the Bills.

Ha! the exact numbers (50 and 25) I called! I was way off on AJ McCarron though.

Frankly I think this "character" thing is overblown. Didnt we just sign Diggy-zoo? And wasnt Trent suspended 4 games last year? We just spin this whole character thing into what we want, no?

Not too strange actually. Bills have very little cap wiggle room and are waiting to see who lese they sign. Likely agreed to terms on two different contracts with Star's reps. And will choose one depending on how much cap room they need. We will know it within a day or two, if not today itself.

Does anybody know the dollars? - I hope it is less than 2 yr 30 mill

well at a minimum he provides depth. I dont want KC signing him for 3-4 mill and we lose WR depth.

The original post says trade will happen AFTER 4 pm today. I thought trade has to happen BEFORE 4pm ET today. If Philly makes the 4 pm deadline without trading Foles, what is their urgency? Why trade immediately after?

Both will likely need at least a first rounder to pry away from respective teams. Roughly the same age. Luck is the more heralded but shoulder is suspect. Foles has been a little inconsistent, but is healthy and a SB winner. Luck is under contract for 3 more years at about 80 mill, Foles only for one year, but for a pittance. PS: Neither is not an option:)

am still holding out hope for a Foles trade. trade makes too much sense for philly to pass on getting a high draft pick and relieve cap concerns Fitz signed with Tampa Bay 5 days ago

comp pick comp pick comp pick

nice depth signing - but the comp pick police will hate the signing

Now just Foles / McCarron! Read rumors that Miami was interested in MCCarron. Will try to find the link.

Philly websites noting Philly's options getting limited in trading Foles: https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2018/3/13/17116514/sam-bradford-signing-cardinals-nick-foles-staying-eagles-philadelphia-arizona-contract-quarterback

I havent heard anything about his shoulder. That is the key.

Sure. There are worse options than him listed in Tier 3 above.

By the way Andrew Luck is a possibility because Colts have Frank Reich who would like to be reunited with Foles. Colts are a dark horse candidate for Foles. FOles + Qb at No. 2 is a possibility for Colts. Even with this release Philly is over the cap. How can they keep Foles?

http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2018/03/nfl_rumors_where_could_eagles_trade_nick_foles_7_remaining_p.html It is Bills or no trade and remain in Philly!

None of the QB needy teams will give up a 2nd rounder for Foles now. So I think it is the Bills deal to make when Philly comes to grips with it. Shd have a resolution in 24 hours. Maybe Bills sweeten their offer and Philly backs down from wanting a first rounder.

With Brees, Garoppolo, Cousins, Bradford, Keenum, Bridgewater gone, it all comes down to these options: (there are other QBs but I dont think they are going to happen) Tier 1: (not a FA) Nick Foles Tier 2: (All FA) Aj McCarron Josh McCown Tier 3: (All FA) Derek Anderson Tom Savage Chase Daniel Matt Moore Colin Kaepernick Geno Smith Chad Henne Wonder who the Bills sign / get.

Although it appears Jets are all in on Bridgewater. And they have the money this offseason. I agree that we let the Jets go first sign whoever is left or wait for Philly to give us Foles for a second rounder. If Philly is not forthcoming sign AJ McCarron at 10-12 mill for one year with a second year team option, move up and draft a QB.

Arizona got desperate and blinked. 20 M is waayyy too much for Bradford.

& once Mccown signs with the Jets .. Philly better accept our second rounder for Foles
