The Facts: Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles are taking their next step. The Eagles are expected to pick up Foles' 2019 contract option for $20 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday on Super Bowl LIVE. Thereafter, Rapoport added, Foles would likely give Philadelphia $2 million to essentially "buy his freedom," Rapoport said, and become a free agent.

Diehards Line: From there, the Eagles would likely put a franchise tag on Foles and look to trade him after, with ESPN's Adam Schefter suggesting Philly would want a third-round pick. According to Rapoport, another possibility is that after Foles pays the $2 million buyout, Philly could let him go into free agency and gain a compensatory draft pick. "Either way, it's a little bit of a game of chicken right now," Rapoport said, "we do not know how the Eagles are going to proceed after Foles gives them $2 million back for his freedom."
