Reed83HOF Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Geoff MosherVerified account @GeoffMosherNFL FollowFollow @GeoffMosherNFL Source: #Eagles offered a second-round pick for Nick Foles: " An AFC team has already offered a second-round pick for Foles, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. The offer was proposed earlier this offseason, per the source. At the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last week, both head coach Doug Pederson and executive vice president of Howie Roseman left the door open for Foles to be traded. Pederson said in Indianapolis that he wouldn’t feel right blind-siding Foles with a trade, “if that happens,” the clearest indication that the Eagles are willing to move Foles for the right price. Teams from the AFC most commonly linked to pursuing a quarterback are the Browns, Bills, Jets and Dolphins. The Browns have two second-round picks, one of which came from the Eagles in the Carson Wentz trade, as do the Bills and Jets. The Dolphins have one second-round pick. The Browns, Jets and Dolphins could also get their new quarterbacks in the first round, especially given the position depth this year. The Browns pick first and fourth overall. The Jets pick sixth. The Dolphins pick 11th. The Bills select 21st overall, which might them more willing to deal a pick for an established quarterback. https://www.fanragsports.com/eagles/source-eagles-offered-2nd-round-pick-for-nick-foles/ Adam CaplanVerified account @caplannfl FollowingFollowing @caplannfl MoreIf they wind up moving Foles, that will say a lot about their belief in Nate Sudfeld. Edit - Update: Chris MortensenVerified account @mortreport 3m3 minutes ago Eagles have fielded - not solicited - more than one inquiry and offer for Nick Foles. Eagles' basic answer is it's going to take more than the 1st and 4th round picks they got from Vikings for Sam Bradford. Foles is Super Bowl MVP and best insurance policy in NFL.

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Nick foles is already on their roster? Yeah I know it’s just worded weird right? 1
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) I'm betting it's the Browns TBH. Aside from them having more than enough draft picks to burn here, Hue likes his QBs tall and Dorsey was in KC when Foles was there. Edited March 5, 2018 by KelsaysLunchbox
LeGOATski Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Foles has to be in the right place to be good. He's not a franchise QB. If a team is willing to work with Foles, I think they could work with a QB just as good from the 2nd or 3rd round. 1 1

Real McClappy Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) IDK, a 2nd rd pick for a superbowl MVP who was absolutely lasering passes with pinpoint accuracy seems like a fair deal. He was originally drafted in the 3rd. If traded, he will cost a 2nd or possibly 1st rd easily. Edited March 5, 2018 by Real McCoy 5
HappyDays Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 That is pretty interesting and we probably make more sense than any other AFC team. Cleveland and Jets and Broncos can draft their own QB, Jags just committed a lot of money to Bortles. If McBeane thinks we won't be able to trade up and take a QB it makes a lot of sense to go after a proven winner in Foles and use our draft picks on other positions. 2

Wo-Bah Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 If it was Buffalo, I guess I would be OK with it. This allows us to spend our 2 first round picks on other areas. 3

Gonna have to invest in some offensive support if we get him. One of our firsts and the remaining second round pick in support players.
CommonCents Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I'd be fine with it. You just hired a coach that likes RPOs why not get a QB that matches his system. 2
BeastMode54 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 He was great in spots, but can he be a franchise qb? I want to have success for years to come. Feel like we need to at least try and draft one

You have to cover all your bases, and as a GM it might take a different approach to this thing. The Eagles won the SB when many said they were a one and done in the playoffs without Wentz (I know I did). They didn't exactly play " small ball " in the playoffs either. There aren't 32 elite QBs, and it may take the Bills entire draft or close to it to move up high enough for a guy they may not be sold on. There's something to be said for keeping that draft capital, the Bills roster isn't as strong as say , PHI or MIN. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I’m not asking for Foles but if we got him I’m not complaining either. 2
Jobot Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Read somewhere that the Bills staff is getting more involved with analytics in player evaluations... So wouldn't shock me if that had some driver to the 2nd round pick offer.
Bill Murray Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 id take Foles for a 2nd in a heartbeat. If im the Browns, i would make that play too. Get him, draft Barkley 1st. Trade back from #4 and maybe take Lamar Jackson later in the 1st as a developmental guy with loads of extra picks.
