Several teams, including St. Louis Rams, are ready to make a deal for Eagles' Nick Foles
The
Eagles apparent indecision on what to do with quarterback Nick Foles has intrigued teams around the league, and possible suitors are beginning to emerge.
According to a person familiar with the situation, but who requested anonymity, the St. Louis Rams have interest in Foles should the Eagles decide to trade him this offseason.
Foles' possible availability was a topic of conversation among coaches and scouts last week at the Senior Bowl, with the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans also mentioned as teams that would have interest if Foles hit the market.
It is unclear if the Eagles are willing to move Foles. Their
plans to explore options surrounding Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota — as reported by NJ Advance Media — in the NFL draft certainly indicate a weakened commitment to Foles.
The Rams, who own the No. 10 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, are in need of a quarterback after Sam Bradford missed all of last season with a knee injury. Bouncing between backups Austin Davis and Shaun Hill led to another losing season and last-place finish in the NFC West.
Although he regressed last season, Foles still has a career completion percentage of 61.6, and he has thrown 46 touchdowns and only 17 interceptions in the past three seasons. Foles, the Eagles' starter until he injured his shoulder, missed the final eight games of the season as the team missed the playoffs.
Foles is coveted around the league.
"Love him," one NFL coach said of Foles. "Right now I would put him in the second or third tier of quarterbacks, but I think he is right on the cusp of being in the top tier at the position."
Coming off 27 touchdowns and only two interceptions in 2013, Foles finished with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in eight games last season before fracturing his collarbone, an injury that would cost him the remainder of the season.
"A dropoff was expected," said an NFC scout. "I wouldn't be too concerned if I was Chip (Kelly). I think he'll be fine."
Foles inability to escape pressure was highlighted last season as the offensive line suffered through a season of injuries and poor play. The dropoff in the offensive line play from 2013 to 2014 left Foles running for his life at times, which proved to be a problem, especially when he got into the open field.
"He is a statue back there," the NFC scout said. "Guys like him, I don't worry, because I know where he is going to be."
What Kelly really thinks of Foles isn't clear.
The head coach, who was at the Senior Bowl last week, didn't speak to reporters, instead watching practices from the back of the end zone with offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur. Kelly
refused to commit to Foles as his starting quarterback at the end of last season, instead saying he was going to review the tape.
"I don't know," Kelly said. "We'll sit down and thoroughly evaluate everything."
Foles has been radio silent since his injury, but did make it clear in his lone interview that he expects to be in Philadelphia next season.
"I expect to be back here," Foles said. "I expect to be the quarterback. I love my teammates, and I expect to be back out there leading them and winning some games. I'm excited to come back better than I ever have been."
This offseason is the first time the Eagles will have a chance to extend Foles' contract since they drafted him in 2012. He'll go into the 2015 season with one year left on that contract.
The quarterback said back in December that neither he nor his agent have heard from the team about a new deal.
