Then we literally pay more for foles just for the sake of doing it?!???!! Really?!??! That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard were married to a qb that’s never played a whole season for at least 3 years. Wow!!

Take a breath.

The contract Foles will sign tomorrow is perfectly in line with what you'd expect to pay a starting QB.  Especially a starting QB who has valuable experience winning a Super Bowl, and carrying his team to the playoffs this past season.  If you look at what he will sign for here, his salary is on par with guys llike Garopolo and Carr.  He's not even in the top 15 of starting QBs with his new deal.  

As far as trading for other team's cast-offs, no thanks.  The draft provides them with plenty of options to fill holes at WR, TE, and for depth on the defense.  The top of the draft presents them with options for OL help as well.  

We're not done in free agency yet.  We got our primary target.  Now we'll look at what other areas we can upgrade there.

Sometimes it's best to withhold judgment until you see what the ENTIRE offseason looks like. I think that's the case this year.  We've upgraded the QB position, and we were paying Bortles over $16M a year to stink up the place.  Foles' positive impact on the locker room is going to be almost immediate.

Like I said, take a deep breath and relax.  You'll live longer.
