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.

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.
