Ricky Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Barring any last-minute snags, the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign free-agent quarterback Nick Foles to a multiyear contract when the new league year opens next week, according to sources. Teams are not allowed to talk deals with free agents until March 11, and no deals can be announced until the start of the new league year on March 13. The Jaguars are expected to release quarterback Blake Bortles and install Foles as their starter. Jacksonville will have to pay $6.5 million of Bortles' 2019 salary, which was fully guaranteed when he signed his current contract last year. The Jaguars' expected signing of Foles was first reported by Philly.com. Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Wednesday that the team would not place the franchise tag on Foles, leaving him a free agent. "He deserves an opportunity to lead a team," Roseman said. Edited March 4, 2019 by Ricky Redo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 No big surprise here, disappointingly it sounds like there wasn't much of a market for Foles and the Jags might get him at a price around what Keenum got from the Broncos last offseason (according to Rapoport), was hoping the Jags would get absolutely fleeced and pay too much for him.

Yeah it’s just gotten ridiculous. They added the tampering period to try and stop it, but without severe penalties it won’t ever stop. Like you said, guys on bad teams will start to shut it down so they save themselves for free agency. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not getting tagged. Just wanted to let you know he would like to play for you" JAX GM "we'll talk (plug in legal date here)" Foles agent "ok" JAX should get fined or lose a pick for that? Dumb. did you just make up a scenario and say it's reality then complain about the made up scenario? multiple sources are stating it['s as good as a done deal. what evidence do you need? actual video/audio tape? foles to tweet it out? youre getting your fake news confused with reality and reports from guys who have no stake in the issues. if he doesnt sign with the jags then cool... still doesnt mean they didnt tamper. if he does sign with the jags... theres a lot of reports indicating that they tampered.

I think at this point he just has to disagree/start a fight in every thread. CreepingDeath, titanruss, oldschool, and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
