I seen it the first time... and I stopped reading after carried. I don't care about the 2cents from some random Eagles homer. Foles didn't carry shit.

Foles contract breakdown:

- $25 million signing bonus
- $12 million cap hit in 2019
- $21 million cap hit in 2020
- $5.5 in guaranteed base salary in 2019
- About $15 million in guaranteed base salary in 2020
- $50.125 million in total guarantees, 5 of which is only for injury

They're eating Bortles' $16.5m cap hit for 2019 as well. He's off the books after that though.

We currently have $12m left in cap space to spend in FA.

I get and am not saying otherwise that bortles was anything less than a class act, but I don't get all the love for dealing with it... a majority of QBs suck in this league and deal with verbal harassment just as much and typically are class acts about it or shrug it off

Reports are that Bortles is going to chat with the rams on Monday.

So if he lands there.... He could potentially get a superbowl ring as a backup...

I'd rather have him than Mannion. I'm hoping he is willing to take a huge pay cut, bc that's the only way they afford him.

most of that getting spent on the draft? or you already account for that?

Already accounted for the money needed to sign draft picks.

Blake got a bad deal from the start of his professional career IMHO.
I mean, there are plenty of truths to the overwhelming negativity he got. But he did have some very good qualities. He can take a beating for example and he could make something out of nothing on his feet, two things that Foles has had trouble with if you ask me
