The Eagles are cap strapped and need players. Howie Joe is on the clock and one of the biggest hurdles to get over is what happens with BDN.

No way in hell the Eagles FO want to risk Foles beating us in the division next year, or even the NFC.

Maybe, but Gruden has money out the wazoo, a truck full of draft picks and he apparently has issues with Carr.

Sam Farmer of the L.A. Times caught up with Jon Gruden recently to talk about the performance of the rookie quarterbacks at the midway point of the season. Thanks to ESPN’s “Gruden QB Camp” the former head coach has spent quality time with a bunch of the young signal-callers.

After analyzing the likes of Andrew Luck, RGIII and Russell Wilson, Gruden was asked who the next rookie quarterback to emerge will be. He pointed to none other than Nick Foles.

I had Nick Foles in the preseason against New England. Michael Vick got hurt on the fifth or sixth play, and Foles went the distance, on the road in Foxborough. If you like prototype pocket passers with some functional mobility and a tremendous amount of toughness, Foles is interesting.

What really impressed me in the preseason was they weren’t running generic formations. They ran about 30 different formations out of about eight different personnel groupings in successive plays. So I see him recognizing coverages. I see him getting to second and third receivers, just like you’d want a quarterback to do in that system, and I love his NFL size. He reminds me a lot of Brad Johnson, from his football character to his ability to decipher a lot quickly, and we won a championship with Brad.

Linc ...

And this:

So it seems Grudog likes Foles. The question is what he wants to do at QB. Carr seems to be on the outs and this apparently isn't a great draft for QBs and a rookie will need time. Time for Howie Joe to do his thing.

I guess it's all about Foles' mentality. Does he just want to start somewhere, or does he want to make another championship run? The Raiders depth chart going into 2019 is brutal. Their best offensive weapon is 33 year old Jordy Nelson. Yes they have a lot of high draft picks, and would presumably be looking for another 1st rounder in exchange for Carr, but it isn't a great fit for a guy looking to make a quick impact and playoff run.

Not to mention, who the hell wants to play in that division? 11 wins might not get you a playoff spot.

Where will Foles end up playing next year?
