Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 So I think it’s impossible he stays with Philly next year. His salary will be $20M. The Eagles can’t handle that. To think they would trade him is logical. They would presumably exercise his option before the trade. But does Foles have a veto? It looks to me as though he could get out of his contract, even after the Eagles pick up his option, by paying back last year’s bonus. Anyone thinking about a trade for BDN had better be sure he’s a consenting partner and wants to go there. From Overthecap: Contract Notes On April 20, 2018, Foles renegotiated his contract and signed a new two year contract worth up to $29 million in base salary. The contract pays Foles a $2 million signing bonus in 2018, which represents a $2 million raise from his original contract. There are $14 million in additional incentives available. The 2019 season, which was a void year, is now an option year with a player void clause. The Eagles can opt into the contract, which carries a $20 million salary, by picking up the option a month before the start of the 2019 league year. The salary is guaranteed on the 3rd day of the league year. If the option is exercised Foles may still become a free agent by paying back the $2 million signing bonus he received in 2018 as part of this new contract to void the 2019 league year
Doc Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 He will void the deal and pay back the $2M. No reason not to.
LEBills Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Don’t be surprised if Wentz is the one shopped. Living in Philadelphia, the fans and the team are all behind Foles. They like Wentz, they love Foles. And honestly, their offense is on track more with Foles than with Wentz. If they do decide to keep Wentz, I’m with you it’s unlikely they keep Foles...though Foles knows he is best with Pederson. 1 2
LSHMEAB Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 My assumption would be that if he had a trade veto, such a detailed analysis of the contract notes would have included it.

Are you a betting man?
JaCrispy Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 If foles takes the team to the super bowl, things could get interesting....stay tuned... 2 2

thenorthremembers Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 It will be interesting to watch. I am not a Foles guy, throws way too many lame duck 50 50 balls. But Wentz didnt look like the same player this year.
78thealltimegreat Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Carson Wentz is getting the whispers of injury prone not even 25 and already broken vertebrae in his back and coming off an mcl/acl tear...Foles beats the Saints next week and you have a legitimate argument to keep Nick over Carson
Buffalo86 Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 It's expected that the Eagles will tag & trade him.

Can they afford the cap hit while they find a willing partner? I’m unfamiliar with NFL rules, can you be over the cap prior to the season starting? Foles cap hit will be over 23.8 million on a tag.

Not sure of the logistics, but the Eagles strike me as a team who would find a way to make it work.

Saxum Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I do not believe you can tag a player under contract and he is under contract.

Thank the Miami doctors that he didn’t end up a Dolphin for the last 15 years!!! 2

He was the best qb in the NFL last year until his injury. No way he gets dealt. Zero chance. 1

BullBuchanan Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) If you just forget about what they're getting paid, and how they were acquired, who's the better QB? I think the answer is Foles. Obviously Wentz has more talent, but Foles is the one taking this team deep for the second year in a row. You might win less regular season games with him, but he's already won more SB's.
