No comments on this?

Nobody is trading for Foles, which means he's going to get cut, and he's going to be a Chief.

Smith, Foles, Nassib will be our QB depth chart.

That's a wholesale improvement on all three levels for the QB position, disappointment over Geno notwithstanding.

I agree. At this point, acquiring Foles is about the best thing this team is willing to do.

They will almost certainly cut Foles.

The Chiefs will almost certainly claim him off waivers.

They'll draft a QB in the draft and that will give us three new QBs for 2013.

I don't think it's certain Foles is the one cut. Hypothetically though, I would take Smith Foles QB from draft as our depth chart considering where we are right now. Anything to make me realize Smith isn't being handed the Cassel treatment where he gets 2 plus years. If we landed one of the 2nd or 3rd round QB prospects I would be happy. Manuel or Bray would be my preference. Clearly the guy the draft won't get a chance year one so might as well take the guys who need work but have upside.

Trading down to #4 with Foles as part of the package might be best case.

He absolutely is.

Vick is your starter. Dixon is your backup.

They've wanted to trade Foles from the day Chip Kelly arrived.

That means that Trent Edwards and Nick Foles are not long for Philly.

Only Philly can't execute a trade because no team thinks Foles is a starter, and you don't trade picks for a backup.

Foles will hit the market. He'll either get waiver'd by KC, or he'll follow Andy Reid since he knows Reid loves him and will give him his best shot.

Who are their 5 qbs? And do the eagles benefit from cutting him....?

The Eagles QBs: Vick, Dixon, Foles, Trent Edwards, and some camp fodder guy they just signed.

With resigning Vick and the acquisition of Dixon, it's clear Kelly is looking for QBs that can run. Foles, of course, is a statue. Edwards can run.

The Eagles can't carry more than 3 QBs -- well they can, but they aren't. You need a starter, a backup, and a developmental guy. With Dixon on board, Foles is no longer any of those guys for the Eagles.

But he'd fit right into slot #2 for Kansas City.

Trade the 1st pick to Philly for the 4th pick for Foles, their 2nd rounder and next years first?

Eagles don't want to trade up.

They've got their QB.

O.city 03-02-2013 06:16 PM

Kelly was obsessed with getting Geno to Eugene. He's not tied to any of those QB's. If you really think Dennis Dixon is going to keep him from getting his guy, well, I'd say thats probably not true.

Huh? They have Vick for a year and a bunch of shit. Dennis Dixon and Trent Edwards are not guys that cause cuts or prevent making moves at the QB position. Foles is not getting flat out cut unless they get Geno and nobody will swing a 5 or 6 for him.

Direckshun 03-02-2013 06:19 PM

I think what's going to keep him from getting his guy is Vick. Vick is clearly his guy.

You don't trade up to #1 overall and bench the QB you drafted.

Pasta Little Brioni 03-02-2013 06:23 PM

If Chip has an SNR sized boner for Geno, you can bet Vick's ass is on the bench next year and they make a move up to snag him.

He signed a three year restructured deal.

At worst, it's a one-year deal for TEN MILLION DOLLARS.

Yeah, sounds like he'll be riding the bench.

Meanwhile, Chip Kelly acquired the QB he coached at Oregon.

Foles is gone, and I'm betting he just gets cut.

O.city 03-02-2013 06:26 PM

I'm not sure I woudl't rather have Tyler Bray anyway, so I'm trying like hell to trade out of that spot with whoever wants it.
