The Chicago Bears agreed to release former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Nick Foles after failing to find a trade, his agent told NFL Network on Saturday.
“Ryan Poles did the classy thing and Nick appreciates it,” agent Justin Schulman told NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
The team confirmed the decision to ESPN.
During the annual league meetings this past March, Bears general manager Ryan Poles said the team was looking to trade the veteran after Chicago signed former Saints signal-caller Trevor Siemian via free agency to serve as the backup to starter Justin Fields.
