The Dallas Cowboys spent all of last season churning through injured and ineffective quarterbacks. 2016 is off to a similar start.
With backup passer Kellen Moore expected to be out three to four months with the broken ankle he suffered on Tuesday, the 'Boys already have eyes for the league's most available veteran passer: Nick Foles.
"It really seems they're going to have to take a hard look at the veteran quarterback market, and the name to watch is Nick Foles," NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday on NFL Network, per team sources. "There is legitimate interest. I'm told the Cowboys -- that would be the name if they are going to bring in a backup."
NFL Media's Mike Garafolo reported that Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones has talked to Foles agent. The Cowboysare one of a handful of teams interested in Foles and there's a chance he could sign with a team as early as Wednesday, Garafolo added.
Foles is likely the best option for the Cowboys at this point. The team's other top options, according to Rapoport, include executing a trade with the Browns for Josh McCown or plucking Jimmy Clausen out of free agency.
