If the Jets don't want to pay Fitz $12M for 1 year I can't imagine they'd want to pay Foles $11M for 1 year. The tweet that KRL embedded says Foles is not subject to waivers.

win4ever 2,270 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I would sign Foles over Fitz, mainly for age reasons. However, why wouldn't a team like the Broncos sign him? He beat out Sanchez in Philly I believe, and has better potential. Foles is no savior by any means, has the same turn over issues that have plagued our last two young QBs, but does have a strong arm. Aside from the one magical year, his stats are pretty identical to Geno, but he was in a better system. Last year, he was in a bad system and his stats tanked (but I also think he got benched when Gurley finally took off) so as a possible back up type player, can't hurt to try. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rangers9 1,947 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 No way any team will pick him up on waivers. The Rams would love that but it's not going to happen. Not sure how much of that contract the Rams are eating. They say Foles asked to be released. Or what it would take to sign him. He does have a relationship with Andy Reid who drafted him. KC could be a good landing spot for him but obviously they have a starting Qb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The best landing spot is the NY Jets he's 100x better than Ryan Fitzpatrick has a stronger arm and is younger he's an upgrade over Fitzpatrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxAF 1,701 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Sign 'em all 3 QBs, 4 QBs, 5 QBs. The Jets could never have too many QBs. I wish someday they would just get one franchise QB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Denver is still hoping to sign the Conquering Hero. They were really interested after all. I Agree, could see Denver getting involved here. Also Andy Reid had Foles in Philly, needs a backup in KC. Jets can offer a starting nod or to compete for the top spot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dcronin 332 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I hope they are at the very least going to leak that they are talking to Foles or having him in. Provides some leverage, even just the slightest hint of a possibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By most accounts out of their camp, he's clearly behind Sanchez and Trevor Siemien. I think Foles will have his options, but I think Denver is his better bet because the team is better there and he faces even less competition for the starting job, unless the Siemien kid is actually better than I've heard (which admittedly is very little).

But in the game of QB musical chairs, there are now two QBs, one chair, and Maccagnan is operating the music. That can't be right. Looking at Jason's site the $10.75M is next year, and none of it was guaranteed, so his likelihood of seeing it was approximately zero. It appears the reason the Rams were willing to keep him on was because his $7.75M compensation this year was all guaranteed, and they've already paid $6M of it since it was a spring bonus. So if all that's correct, then the reason he wanted to get released is he felt he could do better than 3rd string for $1.75M on the Rams. I'm sure he'll get more than the $1.75M he was due to make from this point on forward this year. The Rams still eat that $6M, but what's done is done for them. Foles gets his freedom a year earlier, with a decent chance to earn more than the $1.75M he was still due, and the Rams get off without paying him that additional $1.75M to be their 3rd stringer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rex-n-effect 562 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Not a fan of Foles. He's better than Fitz because his age is lower but that's about it. That's not saying Fitz is great but Foles is just too uneven. Adding Foles to the mix means we have four QBs, none of which are reliable starters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Fitzpatrick is such a valuable starting QB in the NFL why is he without a job today. No team ever committed to him for a reason we saw why last year last game of the season.

You right He did choke away a playoff berth with 2 bad losses to the Bills. Hell if He beats them in the last game of the season they are a playoff team.
