The Colts announced on Monday that they had signed signal-caller Nick Foles. The veteran, who was released by the Chicago Bears earlier this month, inked a two-year agreement. The financial terms of the deal remained undisclosed.

The move will reunite Foles with the Colts’ head coach Frank Reich. The duo previously worked together in Philadelphia, where Reich was an offensive coordinator, and Foles quarterbacked the Eagles to a Super Bowl LII win. The chance to work again with Reich was probably determining factor in Foles’ decision to sign with Indy as he had multiple other suitors in recent weeks, including the Eagles.

Nick Foles arrives in Indianapolis after several seasons in which he struggled to perform at a high level consistently. Since leaving Philly after the 2018 NFL season, Foles suited up for Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Bears. The 33-year-old player started 12 games altogether for the Jags and the Bears, going 3-9 and throwing just 13 touchdowns compared to 10 interceptions. He failed to make a single appearance in 2022.

Chicago lost their starter Justin Fields on Monday after the rookie suffered an ankle injury in a 17-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. They also can’t count on Andy Dalton, who was their Week 1 starter, since the veteran is still recovering from a recent groin injury.

The Bears also have rookie QB Ryan Willis on their roster, signing the Virginia Tech product to their practice squad earlier this month. Willis could get the job to back up Foles, but that will only be the case if Fields doesn’t recover enough to fill that role, according to Nagy.

“It would probably be more of an emergency situation, and we just have to see where Justin’s at percentage-wise, where it doesn’t risk his health but he’s able to help us,” said Nagy “If that’s not the best thing to do, trust me, we’re going to go ahead and go with Ryan.”

Nick Foles joined the Bears in 2020 in a trade from the Jacksonville Jaguars. In his first season with the franchise, Foles started seven games, throwing for 1,852 yards, 10 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Chicago went 2-5 in that period.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, the team’s head coach Matt Nagy said that all three signal callers currently on the Bears roster—Week 1 starter Andy Dalton, rookie Justin Fields, and veteran Nick Foles—are currently being considered to be under center against the Lions.

“All three are under consideration right now in regards to where they’re at, so we’ll just kind of have to see in the next couple days where they’re all at,” Nagy told reporters via ESPN. “We know where Nick’s at, health-wise, but we just want to keep an eye on Justin and Andy. Then, for us to stay on that and make sure that we have a plan for any of those.”

Dalton was named the starter for the Bears in training camp but ended up getting hurt in the 20-17 win over Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. He has thrown for 262 yards, one touchdown, and one interception this season.

After Dalton went down, Chicago turned to Fields, their number 11 pick in 2021, who finished the game against the Bengals and started in an embarrassing 26-6 loss to Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The Ohio State product hurt his throwing arm on the final play of the Browns game, and it’s unclear whether he will be ready to play by Sunday. So far in his rookie season, Fields is completing 40 percent of his passes and has thrown for 138 yards and an interception.

Finally, there is Foles, who started for the Bears in 2020. The former Super Bowl MVP is believed to be fully healthy, but Nagy doesn’t have confidence in his as he is currently third on the depth chart.

From Jacksonville’s standpoint, the trade probably ensures that the second-year QB Gardner Minshew will now be installed as a full-time starter after posting a 4-4 record in 2019. There is also a possibility for Jags to move up in the draft and select a quarterback as the Bears’ fourth-rounder now gives them 12 picks in 2020.

Chicago, on the other side, fulfills the goal to bring in a veteran competition for their young QB Mitchell Trubisky. The former No.2 overall pick struggled to make an impact last season despite a talented Bears’ roster, and the team wanted to make sure they have another option if Trubisky doesn’t make progress. Foles, who led the Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl in 2017, gives them just that.

As part of the trade, Foles reportedly also agreed to restructure his contract. While the new terms won’t affect his salary, he now has an option to void the year 2021 or 2022, depending on how things work out.

This wasn’t an unexpected move, as it is believed that Jaguars were shopping Nick Foles for some time now. Jacksonville signed the 31-year-old signal-caller to a massive four-year, $88 million contract in 2018 with the intention of making him their franchise QB. Things didn’t pan out the way the organization envisioned, as Foles got hurt in the season opener and missed significant time with Minshew stepping in. He returned in week 11, but poor performances got him benched and eventually panned his way out of Jacksonville.

Over the course of his time with the Jags, Foles played four games and threw for 736 yards, three Ts, and two interceptions.
