Your are correct. 2018: 4 million salary, plus a 3 million roster bonus. Money well spent.

Doesn't seem like he'd be going anywhere if he's under contract for 18. Best backup in the league.
Man I remember thinking he'd be a very good starter after his first year, but I'm guessing going to the big game is a nice consolation prize for him.

Wentz is not healthy..
Foles led them to playoff wins and is Starting in Super Bowl broham....and you can take that to the bank.

Yes, Foles is a very good BACKUP QB. Invest in him as your starter and see where that gets you.
So that’s what you’re shooting for, a QB who doesn’t get to the playoffs? Sorry, but only a team that doesn’t know what it’s doing brings in Foles to be its starter.

Pretty good comparison for foles but in defense of cousins his team was garbage this year. Put foles on the skins this year and I don't think he does as good as cousins did

Foles is obviously much more situation-dependent than a lot of QBs, but if you put a team around him and play to his strengths he's a top ~15 QB. His career numbers outside STL agree with that -- on average he's been good. The only huge ding so far was with Fisher in STL.

Not trying to be a smartass, but couldn't this be said of just about every QB in the league?

Yep. No reason for the eagles to trade foles unless someone offers a whole lot more than anyone should consider offering.
Sudfeld isn't that intriguing but who knows I guess.
He's under contract so he's only elsewhere if there's some trade interest for him and I doubt they will be unless Philly wins the SB and he plays awesome again. The thing is, most people (including NFL teams) have already decided Foles isn't very good and they won't want to commit to him as a starter. They see this as a fluke or something entirely system driven (like when he dominated with Chip Kelly) and fans tend to think this too. A lot of the media vibe around this is it's a cute story, but it's Nick Foles.....Once a QB has that 'stink' on him, it's hard to shake, whether it's fair or not. That's the NFL for you.
The reality IMO is that he's a very good QB and should be starting somewhere (look at some of the horrible QBs that started games around the league this year). He won't get a genuine shot to be a starter with medium term job security because a team won't trade much to get him (remember there was no interest in him last off-season when he signed as Philly's backup - any of these QB needy teams could have gone and and got him if they thought anything of him). If a team does give him a chance, they'll also likely draft a development QB and it'll be a Tyrod type situation this year, or Alex Smith, where Foles is on the hot seat all year and fans will be clamoring for the backup if things go remotely south or Foles throws a couple of picks in a game.
To me he's a better option than Keenum, McCarron, Bradford, Alex Smith or Tyrod, so if those guys are getting starter interest, Foles should too as a trade target. I'd stash/hold him in deeper dynasty leagues where QBs score well just in case he goes off in the SB and the narrative shifts a bit, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Guy looks reborn - I could definitely see a team trading for him...going to be a tough call for Philly though...Wentz obviously the man but Foles is a heck of an insurance policy....if I were the Phily GM I'd want at least a 2d to deal him and thats likely too high.

Trade him tomorrow, his value will never be higher. He's a seven win QB in a 12 win system, cut bait.

It would be so Dolphin-esque to trade a second for him.

It's amazing how awful Jeff Fisher can make a QB look.

Goff, Keenum, and Foles all looked like crap with Fisher. Get with real coaches - all look legit.

I pray for the team that pays Keenum.
Foles has always been pretty good IMO, and he's a starting NFL QB. He's not Wentz though, let's be serious here.

well, sure, Eagles will roll with Wentz, no question. Foles earned a place in our hearts forever, and I hope they do right by him - if thats trading him below market value to be a starter where he wants to be - do it by all means. He earned it....but he wont be the long term answer here.
