Foles said there were other teams involved, so yes there was some bidding AND negotiating going on.

Foles is not a franchise QB. Nor is he getting paid like one.  The cap numbers are in line with what he can produce.

Foles is a clear upgrade to Bortles.
The plan is defense and running. Foles fits into that, has playoff experience, and by all accounts is a leader of men.

Indeed they were completely different situations, the patriots had a true franchise QB and another QB that looked like a franchise QB.

The Eagles have two guys that can ride along to win some games, but neither has proven to be a franchise QB. That they were willing to just let Foles walk shows that he's definitely not one, and if he's not one then he's really no better than Bortles. Jaguars had 10 wins with Bortles in 2017, if they get that many with Foles this season I'll be surprised, but if they don't win a superbowl then really all they're doing is spinning their wheels and appeasing the bib brigade by doubling down on overpaying mediocre QBs.

If any QB they pass on this year turns out to be a franchise QB the howls will be deafening, as suddenly everyone knew what a bad idea it was to do.
You’re sleeping on Wentz big time.

Dude was the MVP in 2017 before injury. In 2018, he had a 70% completion percentage and 21 TDS in 11 games. If the Eagles didn’t have one of the top young QBs, Foles would still be there.
