The Philadelphia Eagles opt not to tag Nick Foles

Howie Roseman announced today, at the NFL scouting combine, that the Philadelphia Eagles will not use the Franchise Tag on Quarterback Nick Foles. That means that when the new league year begins, Nick Foles will enter free agency and will have the ability to sign with whichever team he wishes to.

This means that the Eagles will enter the 2019 season with Carson Wentz as the number 1 QB, and Nate Sudfeld as the apparent backup. Sudfeld is scheduled to be a restricted free agent, but the Eagles will almost certainly tender Sudfeld.

Mission LIII – Nick Foles

Nick Foles is a man on a mission. Will he be able to lead the Eagles to a second straight Super Bowl appearance? Ihe’s taken the first step in that journey by beating the Chicago Bears in the final Wildcard game of Wildcard Weekend with one of the wildest finishes that I’ve seen in some time… the ‘Double Doink’. Step 2 comes on Sunday, January 13th in New Orleans.

Eagles defeat the Bears in a wild finish

In the final game of Wildcard Weekend, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Chicago Bears 16-15.

Former Eagles kicker and current (for now) Bears kicker, Cody Parkey, hit a ‘Double Doink’ in the final seconds of the game when he attempted a 43 yard FG that would have won the game for the Bears. Parkey’s kick hit the left upright, then hit the cross bar, thus creating the ‘double doink’.

After the game, stadium workers where heard asking Illinois State Troopers if they could give Parkey an escort home. The police officers replied by saying ‘Nope, he’s on his own.’
