It's what the Dolphins and Jarvis Landry did last year.

Technically this is correct, but you are missing what is actually going to happen.

Eagles pickup offer, Foles pays $2 million (this doesn't have to happen)
Eagles Franchise Tag him
Foles doesn't sign the tag
Eagles have to trade him or release him by the July date
Foles has all the power to decide what team he is traded to. He has to sign the tag before the trade can happen.
Foles also will negotiate a new contract with the trading team before signing then tag.
Eagles release him before the July date as the contract is then a guaranteed 1 year deal and they can't keep him with the salary cap.

If Foles is traded and the team doesn't offer him the contract they would have already agreed to, he would holdout.




Eagles want a 3rd round pick because that is what they will get in compensation if they just let him go. So I doubt they take anything less unless they really don't want him going to the NFC.
