Eagles | Nick Foles a Philly favorite

Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles is a player the team would like to have return even though Foles can buy out of the final year of his contract if the Eagles pick up his 2019 option. ‘We would love to keep Nick Foles,’ Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Tuesday, Jan. 15, at the team’s year-end news conference. ‘You talk about a guy we’ve drafted here and grown incredibly close with. Certainly, as we go into the substance of those discussions, no question … we’d love to keep him.’

Eagles | Philly GM defends Golden Tate trade

Philadelphia Eagles WR Golden Tate’s trade-deadline acquisition from the Detroit Lions ‘no question’ worked out the way the Eagles hoped it would, general manager Howie Roseman said Tuesday, Jan. 15.

Footballguys View: Tate did make some plays with the Eagles here and there but he just didn’t seem to fit in as good as he could have. Now he enters free agency in 2019 and it’s unlikely the Eagles bring him back. They took a chance and it didn’t work out…even though Roseman spun it differently on Tuesday.
