Nick Foles' next NFL team? Five potential landing spots Published: Jan 24, 2019 at 03:13 AM Around The NFL Podcast Co-Host Credit Philadelphia's front office for being as decisive about ' future as Foles was during . By that is the team's starting quarterback moving forward, the acknowledged it's time to let Foles go. It's not like Philly really has an option. Sidney Jones Jersey Foles and his agent used the leverage from the QB's LII MVP star turn to construct a new contract that would give them flexibility this offseason. The could decline the $20 million option in his contract by Feb. 10 rather than force Foles to pay back $2 million for his freedom. That would be a parting gift for a job well done, a city and organization forever changed. Another option would be for Foles to e sentially hand-pick a potential trading partner. Foles is set to be the most highly coveted quarterback in a with veterans like and . And Foles has made it clear he's no longer interested in being a backup. "I would ," Foles told reporters after the season. "The starter thing, leading a team, impacting a locker room ... that's why we play the game, to impact people, to create an atmosphere. ... I'm really starting Brian Dawkins Jersey to understand how I want to play this game. My game has changed, seeing what's important and really just being myself." The devotion Foles engendered in the ' locker room with his leadership style and his play impre sed even his biggest skeptics. After backing up his run with another stirring late-season surge, he's earned a chance to run a team of his own. This is a unique offseason, with looking for a starting quarterback, and that could narrow Foles' options. So where are his most likely landing spots? 1) Jacksonville Jaguars: Jacksonville's hire of former quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo provides some clarity to the pursuit of Foles. It's the against the field, and I wouldn't bet against the . DeFilippo's experience with Foles isn't the only factor here. Even if the Jags had hired a different coordinator, I would have listed them first in this exercise, because they have the most desperate need at the position. While getting rid of won't help Jacksonville's already-stretched salary cap that much, the have repeatedly shown in the past they aren't afraid to be aggre sive in free agency. They mi sed out on the sweepstakes before doubling down on Bortles and can't risk another lost season. and could be at Malik Jackson Jersey risk of getting released to make room for a quarterback contract. This is a Jacksonville regime thirsty to prove last year's 5-11 record was the aberration (rather than the aberration being the previous season's AFC Championship Game appearance). Acquiring Foles is the ' best chance to quickly rebound and prove the team's 2018 failures were mostly about the quarterback position. One year is all that coach Doug Marrone and general manager Dave Caldwell may have. 2) Miami Dolphins: The Miami Herald reported that the from shortly after . It's po sible that emotionally timed decision, which appeared to come from on high, could change as the reality of this free-agent market and draft cla s becomes clear. Still, it's more likely than not that the try change for change's sake at the position, pairing a veteran-to-be-named-later with a draft pick. Foles would make sense to be high on the team's target list, no matter who presumptive head coach Brian Flores brings as offensive coordinator. ( wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea is , while Jim Caldwell is in a senior advisory role.) 3) Washington Redskins: hangs over the franchise. The need to make a decision about his future by March, unle s they adjust his contract soon so that future guarantees don't get locked in. Even if they work that out with Smith's agent, they can't count on him as their starter for 2019 because of the severity of his compound leg fracture. Adding Foles' contract would be tricky, with so much of Smith's money on the books. This is also an outcome the will want to avoid -- St. Nick on a division rival -- if they wind up trading Foles rather than letting him hit free agency. 4) Denver Broncos: John Elway admitted that DeSean Jackson Jersey is a If the team can upgrade to Foles this offseason, they could change that phrase to "was a short-term fix." Eating the $7 million guaranteed in Keenum's contract is no crazier than the paying Bortles to go away. New coordinator Rich Scangarello's background is in Kyle Shanahan's system, a cousin to the Andy Reid/Doug Pederson offenses that Foles enjoyed his best succe s in. 5) New York Giants: 's agent believes . While the organization has made fewer promises than usual, I'm expecting Manning to be the quarterback until one of his children can take over. The are understandably afraid of what's behind Door No. 2 at quarterback with few safe options available, but it's not like the team can do much worse than going 8-24 over the last two years. And like the , the obviously wouldn't be an ideal trade partner for Philly, given the divisional rivalry.
