LABILLBACKER Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 On 2/7/2018 at 7:17 AM, Mrbojanglezs said: Why would Foles or Foles agent want to stay there. His client just won a SB and he is only being paid 7 mill? Foles value is as high as it will ever get.... If I were his agent I would demand that he be traded and then extended with another team for more money. I couldn't agree more. If Foles doesn't demand a trade after his SB MVP performance, and agrees to just sit back on the bench, he might as well retire once and for all.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Way We Hear It: Philadelphia Eagles brass waiting on offer it can't refuse to trade Nick Foles | Pro Football WeeklyGeneral manager Howie Roseman and head coach Doug Pederson would love to be able to keep both, but is that realistic?On the face of it, Foles’ $7.6 million cap hit would appear impossible for the Eagles to absorb for a backup.There is no debate that, if healthy, Wentz is still the future.But when you consider $5.4 million of Foles’ deal is dead money, and the savings from moving him is just $2.2 million, the puzzle Eagles brass has to solve is trickier.When queried at the Combine Wednesday about Foles’ future in Philadelphia, Roseman went out of his way to be as vague as possible.“We’re trying to keep as many good players as possible,” Roseman said. “You’re talking about the Super Bowl MVP. He’s got great character, great leadership. That room is exactly what we’re looking for.
Boatdrinks Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Barring a huge setback in Wentz's recovery, Foles will likely be dealt. It makes sense for the Eagles to hang onto him into the 2018 season as Wentz injury was late in 2017. Foles will surely be pressed into service to start camp and probably even into the regular season. After that, it looks like it could be a Garrapolo situation for Philly. Wentz is the QB, and the Eagles need to strike on a trade deal while Foles value is at its apex.

Not a chance I would give up the #21 overall pick for Nick Foles. That would be a massive overpayment IMO. I don't see Foles as anything more than a bridge QB, and you don't give up a 1st round pick for that. 1 good season back in 2013, and a SB MVP type game isn't worth a mid round 1st. You should be getting a long term starter with that pick, and hopefully a high end impact type player. You could be trading a potential franchise type player like Tre White with that #21 pick. I want an upgrade on tyrod badly, but if my choice is Foles or Tyrod plus #21, I'd rather have Tyrod + whatever player we get with pick #21. Id much rather trade up and give up both 1sts for a guy with a sky high ceiling like Rosen. We already know what Foles is, and he's not the type of QB that really elevates a franchise and the players around him. He's a bridge QB (at best IMO). I'm not even sure he's a full time starter TBH, unless it's in the right situation/scheme, with the right talent and playcalling.
whatdrought Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Rap says a "mid-round" pick. I'd probably be happy giving one of our 2nds for Foles.

BobbyC81 Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 On 2/7/2018 at 8:16 AM, Da webster guy said: Everything depends on the offer they get. Would you take a 1st rounder for him? Philly may have won the superbowl but they sucked on defense. Pats receivers were running wide open all day and they got shredded for 600+ yards. They traded us a pick for Darby so they're down a pick already, Peters may never make it back to his original form, and they obviously need Dback help. Before you say they won't trade him you need to know what they're being offered. Only an idiot GM would say "hey sorry but we just aren't taking offers at this time..." Personally I think Jax would offer their first rounder for the guy. He could complete that team nicely. Jax just gave Bortles a big extension. Why would they trade for Foles?
26CornerBlitz Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Pederson: Nothing Came 'Down Our Way' for Foles Published: March 24, 2018 at 02:49 PM The Philadelphia Eagles wanted a lot if they were going to trade Nick Foles, but coach Doug Pederson admitted Saturday "there wasn't anything coming down our way" for Foles in the trade market The Philadelphia Eagles wanted a treasure chest if they were going to be tempted to trade away backup quarterback Nick Foles this offseason. Turns out, they didn't get an offer that even piqued their interest, let alone the first-round pick "at the very least" that they were seeking. In speaking with NFL Network's Steve Wyche at the NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando on Saturday, Eagles coach Doug Pederson admitted nothing came his way with regard to a deal for the Super BowlLII MVP.
Mat68 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Interseted to see if Buffalo misses out on the top 4 guys if they flop 22 for Foles. Get the best linebaker at 12. Idk if id love it or hate it but could be an option.

So it’s better to Lose in free agency next year is that it ?
JohnC Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 On 2/7/2018 at 10:23 AM, Mr. WEO said: Isn't it more likely that another team will, make them a good offer foe Foles? If the Eagles are confident that Wentz is the healthy franchise QB for the future, why wouldn't they want to get something for Foles now instead of letting him walk next year? They would want to keep him for insurance if Wentz got hurt during the season. The Eagles will again be a SB contending team. Why give up a good backup who can keep the team from falling off the cliff if the starter goes down? His contract is reasonable and he is a known quantity. If the Eagles were not a serious contender I could see dealing him now or in the not too distant future. He certainly demonstrated his value last year when the qb went down. So why deal him and create an unnecessary risk?
