Well, the Philadelphia Eagles wasted no time letting everybody know their decision regarding backup quarterback, Nick Foles. At first, the Eagles wanted to retain Foles in what was supposed to be an attempt to trade him. So they picked up his $20 million option for 2019. Not too long after the Eagles did that, Nick Foles and his reps notified the team and told them he would be buying out his option for $2 million. That left the Eagles with an important decision.
They could’ve franchise tagged Foles for $25 million, in an attempt to trade him away.
