Report: Nick Foles has been skipping OTAs since Rams drafted Jared Goff

Nick Foles Rams

If Nick Foles needs a shoulder to cry on, he should probably give Sam Bradford a call.

Jim Trotter of ESPN.com reports that Foles has not attended any Los Angeles Rams practices since the team drafted Jared Goff with the No. 1 overall pick. Foles reportedly skipped the start of organized team activities on Tuesday, which is odd considering he was at almost every offseason workout prior to the draft.

Is someone a little salty?

There have been rumors that the Rams are looking to trade Foles before training camp, so perhaps the former third-round pick believes there’s no reason for him to show up. Jeff Fisher will likely say he is holding an open quarterback competition in training camp, but Goff would have to really screw up to not be named the starter come Week 1.

While it is easy to compare Foles to Bradford, the situations are a lot different. Foles had to have known the Rams were taking a quarterback with the top overall pick in the draft, whereas the Philadelphia Eagles traded up to No. 2 after Bradford inked a two-year extension. We know one player who disagrees with both Bradford and Foles creating a stink.

Foles is probably going to be a backup in 2016 no matter where he ends up. He’s more likely to beat out a rookie — at least for the start of the season — than he is a veteran, so staying in L.A. might be his best bet.
