A bargain. Not much more than we paid Dalton.

Did you hear that Dalton won more games than Dak in 2020?

Let the flames begin........

Still a $7 million cap hit....

Pass.. Like Mike should be doing with the doobie he's holding.

Foles has two years left on the deal, with salaries of $4 million each year, plus a $4 million roster bonus in 2022. His entire 2021 salary is guaranteed. But Year 2 offers an escape hatch, as only $1 million it’s guaranteed.

What young QB would Foles stop from developing? Gilbert is 30, Foles is 32.

Ideally, I'd rather be developing 2 QBs on their rookie contracts. Didn't pick up another this year. Yet. Keeping any veteran QB prevents us from keeping another.

6-7 mill and he could help our younger QB's out he has been there and done what he was paid to do.

That's about where I am. On reading Spotrac, they specifically say that the 2022 roster bonus is gtd "now", so we'd be committing 8mil to get Foles this year. More than I'd be happy with.

Yea but we can develop them in the practice squad. We need a backup who can come in and win a few games or keep us in contention if Dak is out.

for 4mil sure why not and only a 5-7rd pick would be worth it

however i believe there will be many more options in august when teams are cutting down for al we know NF gets cut..

They need to do something & move on from the 2 delinquents. DiNucci & Gilbert have a combined 80 career pass attempts, yielding a 52.5% completion percentage while averaging 5.2 yards per attempt last season.

Moore would have been a better option when Dalton went down. It's no secret Foles thrives as backup.

You don't want to hurt Dak's feelings by getting someone with a Super Bowl ring do you?

Did you forget Garrett has 3 & it didn't hurt Dak's feelings. :p

Why should Jason Garrett's rings bother him? Jason Garrett never came off the bench to replace him, did he?
