The rumor was the Bills offered a second and the Eagles wanted a first and fourth. Obviously, it doesn't make sense to give up more than is necessary, but the Eagles are in the driver's seat. So long as they have some way to get under the cap, they can wait out the Bills. The Bills MUST know whether they have Foles by draft day, and the Eagles can wait that long. Yeah, I think Beane is playing this right. Wait it out and see if they take the 2nd rounder. If you get Foles, you can still grab a rookie with your two first rounders or use them to get LB and DT

In between some very high level business meetings, his barista informed him that we will trade our 2 round 1s to the Colts for #3, then trade that #3 for Foles. THEN trade Foles to Arizona for Bradford. That would induce a lot of drug and alcohol abuse.

He was just the MVP of the SB and there is no guarantee Wentz will be 100% ready to go at the start of the season. He's the best backup - in a way - in the league because he knows the system, etc. Wentz is the obvious starter and future, right? Foles probably will not play much at all next year. Wouldn't this be about the only (best) time to get some value out of Foles? Also, aren't the Eagles high on backup QB Nate Sudfeld?

blitzboy54 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 So a guy that owns a bar knows a guy and you got it from a guy at the DMV cuz Sammy's home town Seems legit 1
Kwai San Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 @Shaw66 you mean there isn't a lot of Drug and Alcohol abuse NOW?!?!? 1

EricScott Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Could it be that they're planning on drafting Josh Allen and plan to use Foles as a bridge QB/ mentor to give Allen a chance to develop?

He's the best backup - in a way - in the league because he knows the system, etc. If they truly believe Wentz will be 100% by the beginning of the season, then it would be in their best interests to move Foles this off season, if they are interested in a reasonable (2nd round) draft pick. He is a free agent after next season and they will not get anything for him. I know they want a 1st rounder for him - but I don't think anyone will give that to them...but, I could be wrong about that. 1
1st&ten Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 If the Bills sign Foles, I wonder if they think White or one of the other QB's are a sleeper that could turn out great ?

I think your "friend" is wrong They only gave up an expensive, injured, and largely already replaced player to move up - if they gave up picks you're point would hold. They moved up b/c "why the heck not?"
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 2 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: The pressure on the Eagles apparently is the cap. We've been told the Eagles are over the cap and they hae to get under. So they have to move Foles or someone else. Old news. They restructured Lane Johnson and now 'chump change' away. Chances good they've working on Michael Bennett and Brandon Graham, but they could get there right now by cutting a guy making $1M or so http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/cap/
astb41 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 theyll trade a 2nd and the 3rd from CLE for Foles.

Weird they just spent so much on Bradham, but given he got a 5-year deal I assume it was very cap-friendly for this season.
drf1835 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 This is the Bills plan. Foles for 1-2 years. Mason Rudolph. Roquan 1st pick.
SNICE Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Tick tick, tick tick. Hope they get this put together quickly or the tipster will have to find a new source other than a guy from the DMVs cousin who may own a bar or is just the guy at the end of the bar at some random Buffalo location
apuszczalowski Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) If, and it's a huge If, something like this is true, could be they moved up to 12 for the Eagles, will swap 1st (Eagles get 12, Bills get Foles and last pick of 1st) with may be a few other picks swapped both ways. Bills keep 22nd pick and get Jackson or Rudolph or another 2nd tier guy and keep most of their other high picks Who knows with these guys in charge what they are thinking.....
