Foles is not gonna get cut. He'd cost us over $30 million in dead money. He's gonna be here at least until 2021. He may be on the bench, but he's going nowhere.

It may not be likely but I dont think it's impossible.  It may be $30M+ in dead money but he is guaranteed $22M next year.  So that is essentially a sunk cost.  It's whether they want to be hit with an additional $10M to let him go.  If they end up liking a guy early in next year's draft and they end up with some extra cap space cleared up from other savings (not bringing back Dareus), I can foresee a scenario where they let Foles go.

And then there is the open ended question of whether they'll be able to move that extra $10M in cap hit they'd incur on to the 2021 cap instead of next years if they were to release him after June 1st.  If they can do that, I can definitely see a scenario where he is gone.
