PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nick Foles is in a unique situation http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-malcolm-jenkins-jersey , a Super Bowl MVP trying to lead his team to a second straight championship knowing he will most likely play somewhere else next season.Nothing about what Foles has done for the Philadelphia Eagles is ordinary.“I’m not worried about the future but I understand where I stand and every time I wear that jersey is special,” Foles said Wednesday. “We get one more week together, at least.”The Eagles (10-7) face the New Orleans Saints (13-3) in a NFC divisional playoff game on Sunday thanks to Foles’ heroics in the clutch again.He filled in when Carson Wentz sustained a knee injury in 2017 and led the Eagles to their first NFL title since 1960, going 5-0 in games that he started and finished.Foles returned to the starting lineup after a back injury sidelined Wentz last month and has led the Eagles to four straight wins, including a 16-15 comeback victory at Chicago in the wild-card round. Facing the NFL’s stingiest defense, Foles tossed a 2-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate on fourth down with 56 seconds remaining.But no matter how far Foles can take the Eagles, it probably won’t change his standing on the team. Wentz is the franchise quarterback. He finished third in NFL MVP voting in his second season as a pro. He returned quickly after surgery to repair two torn knee ligaments Womens Jalen Mills Jersey , started 11 games and posted career highs in completion rate (69.6 percent) and passer rating (102.2) despite battling inconsistency and injury.“He’s the guy we drafted and moving forward, he’s our quarterback,” coach Doug Pederson said, repeating the same thought several times.The Eagles must decide by mid-February if they want to exercise a $20 million option to keep Foles for 2019. That’s a big price to pay a backup, though Wentz is scheduled to make a base salary of $720,000 next season with a salary cap total of about $8.5 million.If the team declines the option, Foles becomes a free agent. If the option is picked up Brandon Graham Jersey , Foles has five days to choose whether to accept it or void it and pay back a $2 million signing bonus. Philadelphia could elect to exercise the option and trade Foles. His salary would become fully guaranteed on March 18, the fifth day of the league year.Wentz is under team control through 2020 and the Eagles could offer him a new long-term deal now before his asking price skyrockets.Although it’s not a debate within the organization, Foles vs. Wentz has dominated conversation among fans and sports talkers.Foles has already won a Super Bowl and he’s 25-12 as a starter in Philadelphia, going back to his first stint with the team from 2012-14. He has the highest winning percentage (.676) in franchise history.While outsiders argue the merits of both, it has not been uncomfortable for two talented quarterbacks who are close friends and share a special bond.“Both guys are brothers in Christ first and foremost so that’s a big part of their relationship,” Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz said.“They understand that football is not the most important thing to them so they relate extremely well in many other things. They’re extremely happy for the other guy’s success.“You don’t find that everywhere. You don’t find that very often on the same team let alone the same position, but that is what’s different about this team. Guys truly care about one another and are happy for the other man’s success.” The Kist & Solak Show #92!"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Eagles StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Eagles NewsYahoo Eagles Team PageYahoo Eagles ReportYahoo Eagles Depth ChartYahoo Eagles TransactionsYahoo Eagles PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕BGN RadioTrade up targets for the Eagles in the 2019 NFL DraftNew http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-dallas-goedert-jersey ,60commentsThe Kist & Solak Show #92!EDTShareTweetShareShareTrade up targets for the Eagles in the 2019 NFL DraftMelina Myers-USA TODAY SportsI’ll let it be known right at the top that my dream scenario is FSU EDGE Brian Burns falling to the teens.Trading up for my 3rd ranked prospect is well worth the approximate third round value - and maybe a little extra - it will take to get there. Obviously the Eagles don’t own a third round pick and that trade would have to involve a different combination of swaps as it stands now. The point is there are plenty of ways to skin a cat and I won’t put a restrictor plate on my dreams over semantics.Regardless of whatever finagling is needed, landing an elite pass rusher to accentuate the Eagles’ pass rush is a win in my eyes. I get similarly excited over the idea of trading up for Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver and Alabama tackle Jonah Williams if they see a slide on draft day. Overall, it’s my belief that the Eagles would be more than justified in trading up if they land a top 10 talent that plays in the trenches.Bo Wulf of The Athletic recently mocked a scenario where the Eagles traded up to 15th overall to acquire Burns. He also made a case for other players that might interest the Eagles if they see a slight tumble on Thursday.Furthering our own discussion about possible trade down/trade up/stay put scenarios, Benjamin Solak presented me with different options and asked which I preferred. I’ll submit those same questions to you, gentle reader. They are as follows:
