The Nick Foles saga with the Philadephia Eagles is nearing an end, but at the same time, it is far from over. We found out a couple of weeks ago that the Eagles have every intention of picking up Nick Foles’ option for the 2019 season, which costs $20 million. Now, the obvious speculation is that the Eagles intend on trading Foles, rather than actually retaining him as a backup for quarterback Carson Wentz.
Once Foles officially found out that the Eagles weren’t going to just let him walk, he wasted no time letting the Birds know that he was going to use his $2 million buyout to become a free agent when the market opens up in March.
