I hear ya but that is what these local yahoos are saying the reason we are going after a career back up as our QB in Foles. I really dont think he is any better then BB5 he just had better weapons around him. I know im probably alone in my opinion but still Foles will cost way to much and we will not be able to address the rest of our offensive problems through FA. after we cut everyone including blake we have maybe 35 mill to play with in cap room. We sign foles for 20 and a back up QB drafted or fa cost between 3 and 5. that does not leave enough for rookiees and other FAs. Of course i could be wrong too.

Foles doesn’t seem to be holding a lot of leverage at the moment in terms of contract demands. 
There isn’t a big market for him. 

I could see him not costing them too much more than they were going to pay Bortles. 

16-18 mil per year for three years with an out clause/team option prior to the third year might get it done. 

The team can address O-line and TE early in the draft, they don’t need free agency money to get that done.

And yeah, Foles is quite a bit better than Bortles. Here’s a good read on that:
