Why not use Foles as a stopgap while grooming Haskins? Maybe even try some 2 quarterback sets to throw the D off. We can get Haskins cheap on a rookie contract and by the time we need to give him money, we'll know whether he is our future or not. If Foles is the better option, keep him and trade Haskins.

With the Jaguars releasing their current starting QB, you really cannot cause any possibly division in the locker room with Foles and a top 10 draft pick. I know Foles has a great reputation as a leader and locker room guy, but that is because he earned that reputation in Philly. He has to earn that reputation here in Jacksonville, it won't just be given to him. Bringing in both at the same time can create friction in the locker room, especially if there are some "growing pains" with Foles, new weapons, and learning a new offense.

Plus they will have to trade up for Haskins. Just don't see any way he falls to 7 unless some huge scandal, such as micro-fracture knee surgery, pops up.

Additionally, the money situation becomes tricky unless Bortles actually gets a back up job with that reduces Jags cap obligation by at least $4-5 million.

If Foles cant handle the pressure of competing against a Rookie then Im not even sure we should consider him to lead our team. Then again, this is a QB who has basically lost every Position Battle he has ever had and he even lost his place to Wentz after winning the SB at age 29. Says a lot in itself tbh.

I do agree that Haskins will not be there at 7.
