A 3 million dollar cap savings is what these people are suggesting is worth a 2nd round pick.

That's not true.  Sure, it's a $3M cap savings in 2020, but then Foles is off the books.  You cut Foles in 2021 and you take a $15M cap hit.  

So in reality, it's an $18M cap savings.   Think of it this way - that's enough to sign a premiere free agent or a few mid-tier free agents, which is probably more talent than we would acquire with a 2nd round pick.

I would not give up a 2nd. We're still eating a lot of cap even trading him.

The situation is similar to what the Texans had to do with Brock Osweiler.  Signed him to a big contract, realized he was awful, and to create salary cap space they gave up a 2nd rounder.  

$18M in overall salary cap savings.
