Report: Foles expected to be in demand if Eagles seek trade

Whether or not Nick Foles leads the Philadelphia Eagles to their second straight Super Bowl, the team will be left with a difficult decision this offseason.

Starting quarterback Carson Wentz is expected to be fully healed in time for next season after suffering a stress fracture in his back. His return could result in Philadelphia trading Foles.

Due to a lack of top-end quarterback talent in the 2019 NFL Draft and a potentially scarce free-agent market, last year's Super Bowl MVP is expected to be in demand this offseason, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

When Wentz was recovering from a torn ACL last year, Philadelphia reportedly turned down an offer for Foles that included a second-round pick. According to Rapoport, the price may have gone up.

Regardless, the Eagles have options. They can franchise tag the quarterback and trade him or exercise his $20-million option. The latter would force Foles into a decision as well, as he could pay the team $2 million in order to become a free agent.
