Nick Foles
While Foles has yet to play an entire season in his eight-year NFL career, he’s poised to take control of the reins in Nagy’s offense. He was essentially hand-picked by Nagy among a slew of experienced veteran quarterbacks on the market, including some that were much more affordable than Foles.
But given Foles’ experience in an offense similar to Nagy’s, including in Philadelphia where he put together an impressive postseason performance in 2017, he was the best fit to not only challenge Trubisky for the starting job but win it. Obviously Foles is at a disadvantage given the small sample size this offseason, as the quarterback competition can’t begin until the start of training camp. Given the shortened preseason — and possibility of there being no preseason at all — Foles doesn’t have the chemistry that Trubisky has with Chicago’s skill position players.
