4. Foles considered retiring before 2016 season
Believe it or not, there was a time when Foles had considered retiring before the prime of his career that saw incredible accomplishments like a Super Bowl championship and Super Bowl MVP.
Foles had one of the worst seasons of his career with the Rams in 2015. His 4-7 records over 11 starts didn’t exactly inspire confidence. Neither did his abysmal numbers. He completed 56.4% of his passes and threw seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
That next offseason, the Rams drafted Jared Goff with the No. 1 overall pick, and Foles asked to be released in July, where he contemplated retirement. Interestingly enough, Foles considered retirement due to a lingering elbow issue.
Should the Bears be concerned? It certainly didn’t stop Foles on his magical playoff run with the Eagles in 2017.
