Nick Foles is back in the NFC, as Adam Schefter just announced a blockbuster deal in which the former Eagles Super Bowl hero is being traded from the Jaguars to the Chicago Bears.
QB trade: Jacksonville is trading QB Nick Foles to Chicago for the Bears’ compensatory fourth-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
Bears’ coaches such as Matt Nagy have worked with Foles in past and know him well.

Foles was injured in the Jaguars 2019 season opener after signing a huge free-agent deal for about $88 million dollars.
Former Washington State star Gardner Minshew filled in for Foles and the rest is history, as the Jaguars decided the young signal-caller on his rookie deal was a better option as the franchise looks to rebuild.
Foles threw for 736 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in four games, but should have far more success with Matt Nagy and the familiarity of the NFC.
