We painted ourselves into a corner with his contract, and we are not going to get out without it getting messy, one way or the other.

It's not messy to pay 19.4 million for your QB room next year, this is all just absurdity speaking out of emotion. Foles will be here and play a role as either the comeback starter or veteran backup.

I agree.  This isn't the problem everyone makes it out to be.  Either Nick wins the job or Gardner does.  At this point, I think it's Minshew's to lose.  But too many people here are concluding  Foles is a scrub based on a 4 game sample.  We could do a lot worse than have him as a backup.  Even in an offense designed for Minshew (which Gruden should do), the OL is (hopefully) going to be better.  We may be glad come November that we have a backup the quality of Nick Foles on the team.  If Gardner proves to be our franchise guy, THEN you make the decision to cut Foles after 2020 season.
