Report: Cardinals asked Eagles about Nick Foles
Before they came to terms with Sam Bradford, the Arizona Cardinals were eyeing another quarterback as they sought to replace the retired Carson Palmer.
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Cardinals inquired with the Philadelphia Eagles about quarterback Nick Foles, but discussions stalled quickly and Arizona went for Bradford instead.
Good nugget from @MikeGarafolo — Arizona Cardinals made a call to Philadelphia about Nick Foles. Obviously, didn't go far.

Right around the time the Cardinals were working on the Bradford deal, which sounds like it came together quickly. https://t.co/SMxDzwqYWd

The Cardinals ran into the same problem that other suitors have — the Eagles don’t really want to deal their Super Bowl-winning quarterback. That seems unlikely to change anytime soon.
