The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The Philadelphia Eagles are ready to say goodbye to Foles. Foles, the quarterback who’s heading for free agency, will not get the franchise tag, General Manager Howie Roseman announced today at the Scouting Combine.

Diehards Line: "We've decided to let Nick [Foles] become a free agent," Roseman said. ... As PFT notes, the Eagles are severely lacking in salary cap space, and franchising Foles would have forced them to make cuts elsewhere. Although that was a viable option if a team had stepped up with a big trade offer, it appears that no team did.
