It’ll be very interesting to see what the Philadelphia Eagles

decide to do with Nick Foles this offseason. The common belief is that the team will exercise his $20 million option for the 2019 NFL season. It seems likely that Foles will then opt out of his contract by paying $2 million back to the Eagles in an attempt to enter free agency. The Eagles could then try to franchise tag Foles in order to trade him ... but what if it doesn’t come to that? What if the Eagles could try to trade Foles in a situation where he doensn’t opt out of his 2019 deal?NFL insider Jason La Canfora reports such a situation is possible:The Eagles certainly have motivation to trade Foles. It would allow them to get some immediate compensation for their 2018 Super Bowl MVP. Letting Foles walk in free agency would only net them a third-round compensatory pick (a late Day 2 selection) in the 2020 NFL Draft ... in the best case scenario. Foles http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-seth-joyner-jersey , on the other hand, doesn’t have as much reason to agree to a trade. Teams will be bidding on his services if he becomes a free agent, which will help him get a nice, new contract. He’ll also get to pick his new team without the Eagles having any say. Plus, his new team won’t have to give away any draft pick compensation that could potentially help Foles succeed in his new environment. But maybe there’s some reason to believe the Eagles and Foles will work together. Maybe the strong relationship between the two sides will allow them to navigate a trade that works for everyone. The Eagles have already shown some good faith by paying Foles an extra $1 million for a bonus he barely missed out on.Beyond that player-team connection Womens Jason Peters Jersey , there seems to be a belief that Foles’ market might not be as strong as anticipated. La Canfora says there are only “two-to-four teams” likely to be interested in him. A recent report from Tony Pauline jibes with that sentiment:If Foles’ camp decides his market isn’t going to be super strong, it could make sense for their side to take the Eagles’ $20 million, not have to pay back the $2 million to opt out, and see if they can work out an extension with a team interested in trading for Foles. It’s not a simple process but it’s hardly unprecedented. So, which team(s) might be interested in Foles? There’s a lot of buzz about BDN potentially ending up in Jacksonville with the Jaguars. From La Canfora:Matt Miller also said there’s talk the Eagles’ asking price could be a second-round pick:Getting a second-round pick for Foles this year is clearly preferable to receiving a 2020 third-round pick comp pick. Such a deal would give the Eagles three second-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. Jacksonville Brian Dawkins Jersey , meanwhile, might not be so reluctant to give up a second because they already have two third-round picks in 2019. The feeling here is that the Eagles trading Foles isn’t the most likely option. It just seems like Foles’ best interest is to enter free agency. But Foles is a unique person/player. And Howie Roseman is a very creative executive. So you can’t rule out a trade entirely. After being called a snake by Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson, former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is slithering away from earlier comments that seemed critical of Carson Wentz.The whole thing started when McNabb suggested that if Wentz can’t get the Eagles past the second round of the playoffs, that it might be time to consider drafting a replacement.(While not a wholly unreasonable take about a guy who finished the last two seasons on IR and is still dealing with last year’s back injury, the delivery might have been better.)“For those of you who misread http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-sidney-jones-jersey , didn’t understand, were confused or just didn’t like my comments let me clarify it for you. Let me start by saying there’s no beef, riff or ill-will toward,” Wentz or the Eagles, McNabb wrote on Twitter this afternoon. “My comments were strictly based off of experience and understanding of how the business of football works. You are consistently evaluated everyday Womens Rasul Douglas Jersey , every game and if you are reliable and or healthy enough to play. I know at times as players and fans it can be confusing to move on from a beloved player but due to the business of health and trust tough decisions are usually made.“Maybe people just didn’t like it because it’s coming from me or I answered a question from one of the talents on the radio the way you didn’t agree with. If that’s how you feel I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s the nature of the game.”Again, McNabb’s not necessarily wrong, and even though the Eagles have said they plan to extend Wentz, their commitment to the former first-rounder will be measured in dollars and cents and years.
