If Foles signs the tag he's not putting them in a cap situation, he'll simply be traded. 
There will certainly be multiple competing offers on the table, so it's just a matter of which offer the eagles accept.

For a trade to include 1st rounders, etc he has to agree to a new deal. If he refuses, the trade won't happen or the trade costs go down a whole bunch because no team is going to trade a ton for 1 year player. So Foles still has some control unless they want to just get a low value pick.

They would get more from a compensatory pick than a later round pick for him.

So he can play hardball and try to pick his team to be traded too or hope they release him.
