Actually, this is a really good interview until the last couple of minutes. Foles is a very insightful person who gets Philly. Hope we keep both Wentz and Foles. It would make it incredibly fun, even more than usual, to root for this team.

Does Kimmel not know who Carson Wentz is? How can he say he's sure Foles will be starting in Philly net season?

I think Foles to the Cards makes too much sense for it not to happen. Give him a chance to get paid and be a starter.

I think it all depends on what Foles wants. And Mrs. Foles. Nick says they both love Philly...

Joe Banner wrote:I still believe, from an Eagles perspective, and this is primarily based on we can't be positive about how [Carson] Wentz is gonna come back, that I either wouldn't trade [Foles] or it would take something very aggressive for me to consider it. From the perspective of the potential offers, I do think the way he played and the amount of media coverage and credit that he's gotten increases slightly the chances that somebody's interested, although I still don't think it'll be overly aggressive because there's a whole body of work that has to be considered, and most teams, that's what they do. They don't get caught up in the momentum of the last thing.

But I do think there's a better chance than I did when you last asked me this that some other team could be interested. My answer from the perspective of what the Eagles should do is the same.

You would, at least in my experience, not initiate a conversation with the player about this kind of situation. But it wouldn't be totally rare for a player or primarily through his agent, if he had a strong position, to get that word to you. Either, 'Listen, I'm really happy here. I'll be a free agent in a year. I'd just love to come back and be a part of it again.' Or, 'It's a key moment in my career. I'd really like to try to take advantage of it if you're open to it.' And it would always come, especially with a guy of Nick's character, with a, 'Hey listen, don't worry. If you decide not to trade me, I'll come back, and I'll work as hard and be as loyal as ever. But if you want to factor in my wishes, this may be a time that making a move would be something I'd be open to.'

So, very possible that there's no communication at all. If there's any communication, it's much more likely to come from the player to the team. In this case, I would say there's no chance it would be a demand. It may just be sharing with the team an openness to making a change if the right situation presented itself.

This raises another interesting question--to what extent should the Eagles take Foles's wishes into consideration. I think most fans really do care that the Eagles do right by Foles--that is, not just send him packing to Cleveland or something else horrific (but what if Cleveland, being Cleveland said "we'll give you our first round pick for the next 3 years for Foles"?). On the other hand, if Foles does approach them and says he'd like to start somewhere, that doesn't mean the Eagles just give him away either. But as a fan, how much weight do you place on the Eagles's future versus giving Foles what he wants?

Dude went super saiyan to bring the city its first ever Super Bowl, vindicating the front office (including ownership) and coaching staff that had taken a mountain of shit over the years. I definitely take what he wants into account.

Screw 2 #1's, I want 2 #2's as well!

@AdamSchefter
Bill Polian said on ESPN’s NFL Live that, if he were the Eagles’ GM, he wouldn’t listen to any offers for Nick Foles unless they started with “two 1’s and two 2’s.”

The truth is nobody knows what Foles is worth. I don't think there has ever been a Super Bowl winning QB/Superbowl MVP/Championship Game MVP (if there were one)/former 27 TD/2 INT QB on the market, even with a 1-year contract.

Howie gonna Howie this.

If you were the Browns, who haven't had a remotely capable QB in a decade, how much would Foles be worth?

If you were Arizona, and could bring your native son/Super bowl MVP home how much would that be worth?

If you were Buffalo and were a good QB away from maybe dethroning the annoying Patriots, how much would that be worth?

The best precedent is Sam Bradford. The Eagles received a 1st and 4th--though there were all kinds of conditions with the latter pick. Foles is worth more than Bradford. So, two firsts it is!
