Buccaneers Express Interest In Nick Foles

... Angeles Rams in 2015. According to ESPN's  Jeremy Fowler, there is mutual interest between free agent quarterback Nick Foles and the Buccaneers. That's an interesting option. Foles happens to be a former teammate of newly signed receiver De Sean Jackson. The two were teammates in Philadelphia for two seasons (2012 and 2013). In fact, Jackson's had his best season as pro in 2013 when he was Foles' top target. Foles also had the best season of his career in 2013 and he was selected to the Pro Bowl that season. His record as a starter isn't that great (20–16), but the Buccaneers are not going to ask him to start for them. Unless Winston gets sidelined, of course. And he is a far better option at the number two quarterback spot than Ryan Griffin. Griffin has been around since 2013, but he has yet to play a single game in the National Football League (NFL). By signing Foles, the Buccaneers will get a reliable backup who also has a lot of experience as a starter. Some observers have even noted that Foles could be better than Glennon. "We know the value Jason Licht and Dirk ...

Chiefs Likely To Move On Without Nick Foles

... him for next year after that performance against the dreadful Steelers’ secondary in the divisional round. He is the only QB in the entire playoff field that could have managed to throw for under 200 yards against them. The nicest thing you can say about the guy is he makes himself more irrelevant to the results of a game than any QB in football. casualmalexlfan says.

Eagles Sign Qb Foles, Part Ways With Qb Daniel

... the Chiefs last season as a free agent after being released by the Rams. He played in three games for Kansas City, starting one. He threw for 410 yards and three touchdowns in those three games. Foles played three seasons for the Eagles and one for the Rams before joining the Chiefs. The Eagles' third-round pick in 2012, Foles started five games that season; in 2013, he had one of the more remarkable quarterback seasons in NFL history. Foles threw 27 touchdown passes with just two interceptions in leading the Eagles to the playoffs. He was selected for his only Pro Bowl that season. Foles' play declined drastically in 2014, when he threw for just 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He was traded to the Rams after that season as part of the deal that sent quarterback Sam Bradford to Philadelphia. Foles played poorly for the Rams, ...

Nick Foles Could Return To The Eagles In 2017

... at the quarterback position. That obviously never happened, but many pointed out at the time how Doug Pederson is a big Foles fan. Pederson was the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach when Philadelphia drafted Foles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Honestly, I don’t hate the idea of Foles as a backup in theory. He’s a fine backup quality player and he has some level of familiarity with the Eagles’ offense. But I really do hate the idea of him being viewed as anything more than that. The Eagles wouldn’t be signing him to challenge Wentz, of course, but I fear the day if/when Wentz struggles and some of Foles’ fan boys call for him to be the starter. It’s painfully obvious by now Foles just isn’t a good long-term starting option in this league. 2013 was a fun season but 27-2 was a fluke. After looking at this ...

Matt Kalil, Nick Foles, & Domata Peko

... of certainty suggesting the Vikings have sealed the deal with any outside talent. Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports that the Vikings have expressed interest in free agent nose tackle Domata Peko and also that the team may end up reaching out to quarterback Nick Foles. Peko would be a fantastic rotational lineman, and insurance policy behind Linval Joseph, who has plenty of experience within the grind of a Mike Zimmer defense. At 32 years old, the 10-year Cincinnati starter would have to be willing to embrace a reserve role if this were to happen, however. Foles is someone the Vikings reportedly had interest in last preseason before Teddy Bridgewater’s injury, but after Taylor Heinicke’s. It is likely that the Vikings see him as a candidate to be Sam Bradford’s primary backup in 2017, in ...

Adrian Peterson Eyeing Seattle, Oakland; Darrelle Revis Asking For $8 Million

... $8 million. Revis was cut by the Jets, but they still owe him $6 million, meaning that he’s guaranteed to receive that sum not to play football this year. From the sound of it, the veteran cornerback wants a sizable amount more than that to lure him back onto the field, as Pro Football Talk reported Tuesday that Revis is looking for at least $8 million in free agency. The seven-time Pro Bowler’s play slipped noticeably last season amid admissions by him that he was “old” and that his body was “breaking down,” so his asking price may be deemed excessively high by any potential suitor. In that case, we might have seen the last of the 31-year-old former landlord of “Revis Island,” with his next stop possibly the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Rams shopping their franchise corner. The #Rams are in discussions with several teams about potentially trading franchised CB Trumaine Johnson, per teams involved. Big domino. Adrian Peterson reportedly interested in Seahawks, Raiders. The star Vikings running back has already been said to have an interest in joining the Patriots, but he could also have his eye on a pair of playoffs teams on the West Coast.

... Zach Ertz's contract, turning $3.225 million of Ertz's base salary this season into a roster bonus. The move saves $2.58 million in much-needed cap space. Here is an updated look at the  Eagles' salary cap situation. Roll Over: According to the NFLPA, the Eagles are set to roll over $7.9 million in cap space from the 2016 season to the 2017 offseason.

They can still release players to lower that number. With Ertz re-doing his deal, the Eagles now have around $174 million in committed contracts. That ...
