The Facts: The Bucs are seeking a more experienced backup quarterback in free agent Foles, as ESPN reported a "mutual interest" between the two.
Diehards Line:
Foles, 28, would be reunited with new Bucs receiver DeSean Jackson, who was his top target when he had a Pro Bowl season in 2013, throwing 27 touchdowns against two interceptions. He's played for three teams in the past three years, with one season each with the Rams and Chiefs. The Bucs need a new backup quarterback after Mike Glennon signed with the Bears. That would leave Ryan Griffin, who has never played in an NFL game, as the top backup. Foles has more NFL experience than Glennon -- he's thrown for 9,215 yards, 56 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in his five NFL seasons. The Chiefs declined an option this week and made him a free agent.
