Whitehair was down, Daniels regressed, Leno & Massie were putrid. Maybe they assume they can only be better in 2020. I can see them taking iOL early and an OT in round 5.

I can't see why people would have an issue with that if we can add a few DBs as free agency goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagy loves him, DeFilippo coached him up to be a Super Bowl MVP, and Lazor was on a staff where he threw 27 TDs and 2 INTs. This is our Alex Smith. I personally love the management of this, honestly. He immediately is competition for Trubisky. If the kid falls flat on his face, in comes Foles to take over for 2020. We likely draft a QB high in the 2021 draft who then has the luxury to sit for at least two years behind Foles. Or, Trubisky plays well and Foles is a decently priced backup who knows the system and has excelled "coming in relief". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And...if Foles finally plays to his potential consistently...well, what do we have THEN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the move is going to work, but in terms of covering all your bases, this was a brilliant move. And it was for pick #140 for ****'s sake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can look look at it as trading mike Davis for foles to make it easier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know the details behind the restructuring yet? Schefter made it seem like there were other changes besides the ability to void after a year.
