he Eagles have renewed their vows with Mike Vick and added a backup with similar skills in Dennis Dixon. While that doesn’t mean Nick Foles is out of new coach Chip Kelly’s plans, the guy who drafted Foles in 2012 could be hoping that Foles will become available. Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports that Chiefs coach Andy Reid is interested in acquiring Foles, if Foles is available. No one is talking on the record, since to do so would amount to tampering. Actually, if the off-the-record talking is coming from the Chiefs, it also constitutes tampering. There’s just no way to prove it. Earlier this week, Chip Kelly said that there will be an “open competition” between Vick and Foles, which will be determined “on the practice field.” Kelly also said he rules nothing out when it comes to potential trades. Of all the directions in which Reid could go at quarterback with the Chiefs, Foles doesn’t seem like the best choice, at least not for the short term. The Foles talk could be nothing more than a smokescreen aimed at obscuring Reid’s actual plans. Also, we can’t imagine Reid and the Eagles coming to terms on a trade given that each side will be overly concerned about the possibility of doing a bad deal, given the reputation Reid’s Eagles had for always getting the better end of any and all trades.

They want him, send him... Sing it to the tune of a 2nd and a 4th. But that's saying something... That's saying that Foles is better then the two QBs they presently have in Kansas City. I really don't think that's the case. Foles, like Kolb, was a project and a bad one at that...

No way Andy really wants him, but if he does, I hope it costs him a mint to get him.

I agree with you but if he does go he will play in the same system and that of course will benefit him. I dont think he warrants a 2nd and 4th maybe 3rd and 6th. Keep in mind they pick at the top of the round.

But they're the ones looking to acquire a QB... It's not like the Eagles have said they want to sell him off...

He does not fit the mold of what Kelly wants in a quarterback that is no mystery. Otherwise Vick is not back in Philly and Dixon his former qb in Oregon is not signed as a free agent. He most likely won't be back he gots does not fit in the new scheme.
