Philadelphia Eagles Reportedly Shopping Nick Foles for Trade

Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach Chip Kelly made an effort to gauge the value of quarterback Nick Foles back at the Senior Bowl that took place in January in Mobile, Alabama.

Now it would appear that both the St. Louis Rams and the Tennessee Titans may have an interest in seeking a trade for Foles (via NJ.com).

The St. Louis Rams currently have the 10th pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. What exactly they would be offering for Foles is unknown at this time, but the offers do appear to be competitive.

As for the Tennessee Titans, they possess the second overall pick in the upcoming draft. If they were to give up that pick to the Eagles for Foles, it would put Philadelphia inline to select one of the top college quarterback prospects, Marcus Mariota. Kelly has not kept it a secret that the team would attempt to trade up to land Mariota, so a trade with the Titans would appear to be in the forefront at this time.

Even more evidence that the Foles is expendable to the Eagles is the fact that they just signed quarterback Mark Sanchez to a two-year deal that with incentives could pay him up to $16 million.

If Foles lands in Tennessee, it would have him competing with second-year quarterback Zach Mettenberger who showed splashes of potential in his rookie season. Should he end up in St. Louis, it would be interesting to speculate what the Rams would do with an injury-riddled and overpriced Sam Bradford.

Overall, Foles has thrown for 6,723 yards with 46 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in his NFL career. He’s a decent long-term option for teams that miss out on the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming draft.
