Nick Foles is on his way out of Philadelphia after the Eagles brass decided not to franchise tag him, making him an unrestricted free agent this NFL offseason.
Foles, who went down in franchise lore after stepping in for injured rookie phenom Carson Wentz and leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl win in 2018, will pack his bags and head to another team, where he will look to regain his role as a starting quarterback.
The quarterback was drafted out of the University of Arizona in the 3rd round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Eagles. After two short stints with the Rams and the Chiefs, he returned to Philadelphia at the beginning of the 2017 season.
Despite starting the year as Carson Wentz’s backup, Foles took over after his injury and led the team to the Super Bowl LII title, the first in the franchise’s history.
Now, Foles will look for a new home. He will hit the market as an unrestricted free agent when the free agency period for the NFL begins in mid-March.
Multiple rumors have already began to connect Foles to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who will be looking for a new quarterback this off-season. Other rumored destinations for Foles include the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants.
