Andy Reid was probably the driving force behind that signing, being that Reid drafted Foles in Philly. Nevetheless, I'd wager that Dorsey respects Reid's opinion. 1
Lfod Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Tyrod plan B? That's going to hurt the feelings of all the Browns fans on this forum. 1
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Can’t really blame the guy for not wanting to go to the Browns I guess. Just my opinion

The guy just won them their first championship yet they should trade him to Loserville for a 2nd?? He will be the best backup in the League in 2018.. not a bad insurance policy for the defending champs that are still well and truly in their Super Bowl window... 2

I can't believe the Eagles turned down as high a pick as that. Their passing it off as "Foles' Decision" is rather curious

I think a 2nd rounder is probably fair value for Foles, but I can still understand why the Eagles were wanting to try to do the right thing by him and he still has value for them in 2018... I wonder though if someone had of offered them a first would they have been still running it past Foles for his approval...

I'm trying to recall how quickly Hostetler went to the Raiders after beating us in the SB

Doc Brown Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Glad Foles rejected it. We would've pry released Taylor and gotten zero picks.

There were a couple other interested teams for Tyrod, but doubt their offers were close to what Cleveland gave up. Cleveland had picks to burn, which helped us. Thanks Sashi!

GETTOTHE50 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 still cant believe we got a 3rd rounder for tyrod 2

There were too many FA QB's of similar quality out there.
billsfan714 Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Smart move on Foles part. He can go to a better team in 19, and I think he will get a decent 3 year new deal.
Ol Dirty B Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 4 hours ago, Doc said: Sure, but if he said "yes" the Eagles would have traded him for just an early-2nd rounder. Not if a huge long-term deal was worked out beforehand. The Browns were never passing on QB's this year. While maybe in some instances some could take it as the smart thing to do, it just was never happening. Don't delude yourself.
Klaista2k Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 How did we even use the 3rd rounder we got for Tyrod? I feel like we just wasted it anyway.

Used it to trade up from 22 to 16 for Edmunds. Also got a 5th in return from the Ravens in the trade, which was used to take Siran Neal at 154. Edited May 23, 2018 by YoloinOhio 3
