No tag for Eagles FA QB Foles … Philadelphia G.M. Howie Roseman announced at his combine presser earlier today, that the Eagles will not be tagging QB Nick Foles with either a franchise or transition tag. There had been speculation that the Eagles could franchise Foles, who is set to become a free agent next month, with the hope of trading him, particular to a team outside the division. However, the Eagles are severely cap-strapped and franchising Foles would have forced them to make cuts elsewhere. And where Foles ends up could have a major impact on the the 2019 draft as whichever teams does eventually sign him likely won’t be also looking to take a QB with an early pick. Right now the buzz around the league is that Jacksonville could be the favorite to land Foles, but if they don’t the Jags, who currently have the 7th pick in this year’s opening round, would almost be forced to trade up for one of this year’s top QB prospects. Meanwhile, other teams that could offer Foles include the Giants, Miami and Washington. Stay tuned!
