NFL franchise Philadelphia Eagles were working on bringing back a cult hero as they were pondering former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Nick Foles. The former Super Bowl LII MVP was in close contact before signing with the Indianapolis Colts as a backup behind QB Matt Ryan. Recently, Foles was cut by the Chicago Bears, leaving him as a free agent, and the Eagles looking to recruit him.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, before signing his 2-year contract with the Colts, Foles was considering a homecoming back to Philadelphia. While his interest in coming back remains unknown, Foles will be looking to be a dependable No.2 in Indiana under head coach Frank Reich.

It leaves the Eagles with former Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew as a backup to starting QB Jalen Hurts in 2022.

The Eagles were looking at Foles reportedly as part of their plans of trading Minshew. While it would have lifted spirits for next season, some reports suggest it would have become an unwelcome distraction. Despite that, his status in the city remains untouchable. His contributions in his 2 previous stints remain fresh in the memory of every Eagles fan.

Are the Philadelphia Eagles gambling with Jalen Hurts and his potential?

The franchise enters the new season with a belief of possessing a Super Bowl-caliber roster and banking on Hurts’ potential. Hurts has seen the Eagles bring in talent around him for him to maximize their true potential. The 2nd year starter has excited the Philadelphia faithful. But he will face greater expectations of taking his game to the next level.
