Based upon the tweet the teams are looking for a backup....probably won't have interest until rams pay the bonus so he is low cap hit....would be a relatively low cost "veteran" option at that point....assume no one is looking to give more than a 6th and likely only a 7th....

Ill take anything.

Turning the grossly overpaid Sam Bradford into a 2nd and 7th round pick isn't terrible business.

I mean, I get it. QBs who have had some success are a scarce commodity.
Clearly the teams mentioned in the OPT (original post tweet) aren't in the market for a starter though.

If true, maybe we aren't the dumbest staff in the NFL.

I'd say don't let the door hit you on your way out, but I know he's too slow, and will probably run towards it, instead of away from it.

" Quick, make the trade, what-ever it is!!"

"Great trade. Who'd we get?"

Fisher keeps reiterating "Keenum, Foles, Mannion - and somebody else" will compete for job. So it seems like he's not going anywhere.. but come on, I'd take anything to get rid of him.

Good point, drasconis.

Think it's possible to trade Foles if we agree to eat half his damned bonus? Two thirds? Three fourths? GIVE him to somebody if they eat his bonus? Half of it?

Awwwww...

Now I'm feeling like 'X's" auctioneer. Lol.

The only way I see Foles fitting in is if they don't bring in anyone. No free agents, no drafted QBs. Then adding him to the competition makes sense. Otherwise, they are just saying that to make teams think that they still want him and maybe get more for him. The second they draft or sign someone they lose leverage.

I would ask a 4th rounder and hope to get a 5th minimum. He looked good in the first two games and pretty bad after that. Plus he was the 25/2 guy a few years ago. Someone out there may still think they can rediscover him. That alone would be worth a 5th round pick to a team that doesn't usually make anything out of their fifth round picks. The Rams could make something with it.

The only question is when to trade him. Trade him before free agency to allow for more suitors, or wait until after free agency and rely on desperation.

Cowboys? Hmm, maybe Foles could be a throw in for their number 4 pick on draft day. Redskins? Swap him for RGME? Dolphins? Just give him to them out of pity.

Foles' collapse has to be among the biggest in NFL history. Has a QB ever went from being of undisputed NFL calibre to being so bad his new form would result in him never even got a sniff of the big leagues? With seemingly no injury concerns to explain his rapid drop off? And still being in the relative youth of his career? While not even being asked to make overly difficult throws? It's even more perplexing when you stop to consider his few few games as a Ram - particularly vs. Seattle and Arizona - were very solid performances.

Foles was not only historically bad but his melt down was historically surprising, too.

Once we pay his bonus I could see somebody acquiring him on the cheap, betting that it was just a mental thing he couldn't get over in St. Louis, and that Foles will bounce back to at least being a serviceable backup. I'd move him for anything we can get. If he ever bounces back it won't be in a Rams jersey, IMO. If nothing else, moving him frees up a roster spot.

I'd like to see a trade with the Cowboys, Foles and our third round pick for their first round pick and grab Goff, assuming Wentz is gone to Cleveland.

Come on Les!
