Potentially. It's possible they view Foles strictly as an insurance policy. Not likely, but still possible.

RE: Nick Foles. I'm told nothing has changed. Eagles and Chiefs spoke. They're no closer to a trade. Eagles not backing off their demands.

Seems odd to tweet this.

Good.

Agreed.

So how many reports surface today that we are interested in Foles but Eagles plan on keeping him....meanwhile they sign another QB to the roster [sarcasm].

I still think with 4 QBs on the roster...Eagles will eventually shop Foles.

Despite restructuring Michael Vick's contract and publicly announcing that Nick Foles is not on the market, many believe the Eagles will still go after a quarterback early in the draft. Vick is not though of as the future of the team and Foles does not seem to fit into the style of offense Chip Kelly is expected to run. That leaves the Eagles looking for a franchise quarterback, one Kelly could groom and build his offense around.

Could that quarterback be Barkley?

Where Barkley will fall in the draft is not clear. Some believe he could fall into the second round, while some reports have him not making it out of the top 10. Unless the Eagles decide to take Barkley with the fourth overall pick- a move that is highly unlikely- they will either have to move back into the first round or hope he makes it all the way to the 35th pick in the draft- something that very well could happen, although quarterback is always a position that teams will reach for on draft day.

Of course meeting with a player at the Combine is not always a sign that the team is extremely interested. Most teams will meet with any player they feel could potentially become available to them, doing their homework to cover all angles on draft day. Still, meeting with Barkley does at least show that Howie Roseman and Chip Kelly view him as a player that could potentially draft.

The Eagles have brought back quarterback Michael Vick and also signed backup Dennis Dixon to join Nick Foles and Trent Edwards on the roster. Kelly said that Vick will have a chance to compete for the starting position next season and while it has not went down yet, rumors have circulated that the team is planning to trade Foles.

Time will tell just how prominent the read option will be in Chip Kelly’s offense next season.

If you believe Nick Foles will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback, which I don’t, then the read option will be scarcer than a Kardashian at a Mensa meeting.

The Eagles have four quarterbacks on their roster: Foles, Dixon, Mike Vick and Trent Edwards. Edwards’ days in Philadelphia are numbered. He’s at the bus terminal at 10th & Filbert right now, waiting for the next Greyhound out of town.

Foles probably is the best quarterback of the other three. But if you played the which-one-doesn’t-belong game with him and Vick and Dixon, he’d be odd man out. Vick and Dixon both have the speed to run the read option. Foles doesn’t.

Kelly insists he’s keeping his options open right now.

“I’ve never had a chance to work with Michael or Nick,” he said. “I saw Nick play in college. I’ve spoken with all of those guys on the phone, but that was just an introductory, ‘Hey, how you doin’?’

“I can’t tell you what the future’s going to be or who it’s going to be (playing quarterback). A lot of that will come when we have a chance to spend time with them out on the practice field.”

Kelly insists he’s not married to the read option, that he’ll fit his system around the talent on his roster.

But it makes little sense that Kelly would make the giant leap from college to the pros, then be willing to bag the read option, which was a critical component in his offensive system at Oregon.

It also would make little sense to keep Foles around as a backup to Vick, since, as Rivera pointed out, you’d have to alter your offense if Vick got hurt.

“Nick Foles has a skill set that, it’s our job, if he’s our quarterback, to put him in a position to make plays,” Kelly said.

“Obviously, one player throws certain routes better than another player, one person does a better job in certain check-with-mes at the line of scrimmage. That’s what I think every coach does. I don’t think anybody runs the same exact playcall sheet (with different quarterbacks).”

It would be a shock if the Eagles didn’t select a quarterback in the draft in late April, and it would be a shock if it isn’t one of the guys with the skill set to run the read option.

Cmon Dixon and Edwards are camp fodder. The right QB falls to them at 4, then yeah they'll deal Fools.

Exactly.

Yeah, Foles is going to be traded or hit the market.

Meh Dixon and Edwards are Mediterranean Avenue and Balic avenue they don't really matter. Foles will still be an Eagle.

Latest NewsRecent NewsESPN's Adam Schefter stated on SportsCenter that the Alex Smith deal "squashes" the notion of a Nick Foles-to-Kansas City trade.We wonder if Philly overplayed its hand here. The Eagles openly claimed Foles was available only for a first- or second-round pick, despite his obviously poor fit under Chip Kelly. If the Eagles are going to trade Foles -- and Schefter reported "people around the league" still believe they will -- they may have to settle for a third- or fourth-rounder after alienating his likeliest suitor.

Here you go Dane....


Cock ****er.

Have we swapped 1st with the Eagles for this guy yet?

It should be mentioned that the Eagles now have five quarterbacks on their team.

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.
