The Frankish Reich Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 5 years, $27.5 million with certain incentives and "escalators" that could add another $11 million. So if he performs well, the top end is 38.5 million. And if he performs poorly, it is essentially voidable by the Eagles after 2 years. Tyrod: 2 years, $30.5 million. And he is obviously a better fit for the Dennison offense than Tyrod was. For those of you who'd say, "where we you when he was a free agent" - I was right here, suggesting that Foles was far and away the best "bridge" QB free agent out there .... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I could be alright with Foles as a Bridge if we draft a 1st rd QB in this years draft. Edited January 22, 2018 by Real McCoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Rams gave it a shot and we saw how well that turned out. That 7 touchdown extravaganza is long gone, even with as well as he is playing today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, it's too late now. The Eagles have him for certain for at least one more year, and with Wentz's recovery timetable uncertain, no way he's going anywhere. It just kills me to watch a team with a better backup than our starter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check. EDIT: This is not the "I love Nick Foles" thread. I just think we missed an opportunity for a reasonably priced upgrade. And I am legitimately puzzled as to why we never even heard of any Bills' interest in Foles last offseason.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nick Foles played like crap other than his one great year under Chip Kelly and he contemplated retirement.

CommonCents Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yes seriously. He is playing out of his mind. His WR group is far from excellent. The play calling has been great and he is playing way above his head right now. Agholor, Smith, Jeffrey are solid but far from excellent. Ajayi and Blount are both grinders. Good for them. Hope this kid plays lights out in two weeks but I'm not buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I was on the Foles train coming out of college and felt he would've been an excellent fit for Chan's offense. I think Daboll's offense is also a great fit. Easy reads, a quick tempo and he can be above average. Would be a great bridge if the Bills select one of the projects at QB coming out of the draft or have him compete with (shudder) Peterman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he looked sharp when he had to fill in for Alex Smith, and now Carson Wentz. He's certainly not established himself as great.
