There may be a new front-runner in the Nick Foles sweepstakes.
The Eagles quarterback, who likely will depart Philadelphia this offseason after the team reiterated Tuesday that Carson Wentz remains its starter, will have plenty of suitors after leading the Birds to another playoff berth.
The Jaguars are one of those teams in need of a quarterback, and they’re expected to hire one of the masterminds behind Foles’ magical run last season.
According to various reports Wednesday, the Jags are planning to hire John DeFilippo as their offensive coordinator. DeFilippo didn’t last a full season with the Vikings in the same role, but he served as the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach from 2016-17.
