IgotBILLStopay Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Philly has to knock off 9 mill from its cap before 4 pm ET March 14. Can they get there without trading Foles? After losing out in the Tyrod Taylor sweepstakes (felt good saying that), looks like it might come down to the Cardinals as the Bills, main competition. Dark Horse is the Colts who might move down from no. 3 and use part of the returns to reunite Frank Reich with the SB MVP. bottomline: I'd offer good odds on a trade for Foles happening the afternoon of March 14.

Doc Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The Colts? With Luck aboard? No way. As for the Cards, the Iggles would probably want to get him out of the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserplayer Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Trading Brandon Graham and Nick Foles gets the Eagles near the cap. We could use both! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Superbowl he was an average QB and there wasn't much confidence in Foles by Eagles people when playoffs started.

He may be able to salvage his career and the Bills should be able to get him in a short term deal. I'm also wouldn't mind getting Moore from Miami. He not only can start for the short term but also be a very good mentor and backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Is Nick Foles the long term answer. No can we stop with trying to make BU QBs our starters already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

707BillsFan Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Saw this: "Foles is clearly a player the Eagles don’t want to give away for nothing, but keeping his $7.6 million cap hit doesn’t look like a realistic option either. The team probably has no option but to cash in its chips and trade Foles." So yes, Eagles need to trade him. Yes, I believe we should make a move for him, but don't give up too many picks. I say a 2nd and one other pick. Keep the 1's and the 3's intact (along w/ one of the 2's). Foles can man the ship for a year (the rest of this current contract) and let the drafted rookie QB sit and learn. Bonus, he's very cheap for a starting QB.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If he were to land in Indy I would think it would have to be for their 2nd round pick. Eagles may give Reich a discount. Plus the value is close to a late first anyway. But I don't see this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I don't think the Bills would have moved on from Taylor if they weren't nearly complete certain that they had a veteran replacement. They weren't going into 2018 with Peterman and a rookie. The news has been that the Eagles want to move Files and there was a rumor the Bills offered a second. My first thought when I heard about Taylor was that the Bills needed another pick to sweeten the pot for the Eagles. Foles has played a lot of good football in the NFL, just not consistently. If the Bills want him, I have to think the Bills can make him a consistent quality starter. It also means they can go slow on a rookie QB. No trade up, just get another quality youngster ti compete with Peterman. Files would be your guy for 2 or 3 or 8byears, depending in how Files and the youngsters pan out. In the meantime, the Bills will still have at least three picks in the top 65. I'm still hoping for Cousins. There's been no news about him for days now, and the reports that he was down to four teams weren't all that firm. It's going to be an interesting week.

I don't want to give up a 2nd for him, what happens if one of the big 4 comes tumbling down the board and we want to move up? 21 + 53 gets us up to 12, I think that's best case scenario for us and very realistic.

Magox Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Foles could make sense. At worst you get a similar level (not style) of play as TT, at best you get a Gannon franchise QB for the next 4-6 years. He has done it before and under the right circumstances could do it again. The concerning part has been his consistency and that would be the calculation, which is basically the calculation you make with a high end rookie. So it's not a matter if he can but will he. I wouldn't be opposed to gambling on Foles who has proven to be a high ceiling QB. It's his consistency that would be the risk.
