When the Eagles exercised the option on Foles' deal, they were willing to pay him $20 million to be the backup.

Foles had a buyout that he exercised.

Knowing that the Eagles were willing to risk that amount (because there would be no guarantee they could work out a trade), why would Foles not demand at least that much?

I live just outside of philly I listen to philly sports radio on the way to work everyday that was predetermined by both party’s that he would just decline and pay the 2 million back it wasn’t going to work salary wise plus he wanted his own team so it was a mutual respect thing. The eagles didn’t pick that up thinking he was going to accept it or they’d never would have.
