They got to trade one of their QBs. It’s looking like Wentz is the best bet.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

It'll be interesting to see what QB desperate team ponies up to trade for one of these guys and which guy it is. Miami, Jax, Denver maybe? Possibly Oakland? I think Gruden would take one of these two and send Carr somewhere. Raiders have draft picks to spare.

It they keep Foles some big cuts would have to happen, although they could cut Foles for less then a 3 million $ hit. I think Foles is the more likely to get traded.

Good point.

Silly move, I can see why they'd do it, but I hope it bites them in the ASS.

I don't think so. No matter where you slot Nick Foles in your list of QB's, I think given what he's done for the Eagles, $20 mil is a fair settlement. At least now, they have all the cards and can see whom out there will pay out the biggest deal for him (or Wentz) to pry him away from Phil.

Or if Wentz goes down again, at least they can turn the car over to NF and roll with it.

 

[Taddy Mason]

the fuck it will. Joe Banner predicted the most likely option is the eagles pick up the option just to see if they can do something, but then figure Nick will opt out. let's stop trying to make this a thing.

I think that is their plan. trade him and try to get draft pick(s).

Step 1 to getting the Jags' 2nd round pick.

Smart decision by the Eagles... Now trade Wentz ...

Step 1 to getting the Jags' 2nd round pick.

yeah, I can see that and maybe a 3rd rounder the following year or something. Jags have to free up some money though, don't they?

these imaginary nick foles trade talks

Bortles, Malik Jackson and a couple others will be on the market.

Of course a lot of their cap issues can be assuaged by just getting Haskins, but, you know, Jaguars.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Eagles plan to pick up their $20 million option on Nick Foles.

This doesn't mean Foles will be back, but the Eagles weren't a lock to pick this up. Foles is expected to buyout the option for $2 million, making him a free agent. There's rumblings the Eagles will franchise and trade Foles after that, but there's still a lot of uncertainty with how this plays out. With Philly committed to Carson Wentz, we'd be shocked if Foles wasn't playing elsewhere in 2019.

Will be quite funny if they hve to keep him

 

[R.J. MacReady]

What the Eagles have is very interesting.

The lesser market value QB is an uninjured and known Champion caliber player.

The higher market value QB is an injured and it's unknown if he is a Champion caliber player.

Taking the risk for. A Third round pick

Philly fans would be stoked to see Foles playing for the Eagles next year. Instead they'll be praying Wentz isn't the porcelain QB he's starting out to be.

That's IF a team trades for him. I wouldn't trade for him given he had failed more than he succeeded over his career.
