Could Nick Foles be heading back to Philadelphia?
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Eagles – specifically head coach Doug Pederson – would like to bring Foles back.
A name to watch with Eagles' off-season QB maneuvers: Nick Foles. Eagles' HC Doug Pederson drafted Foles and is interested, per NFL sources.

Schefter also reported that the Eagles will not use their franchise tag on Sam Bradford, though they maintain some interest in retaining him.
Pederson was the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach during Foles’s rookie season in 2012, so there is history there and it makes some sense if Pederson does, in fact, want a new quarterback. Foles spent three seasons with Philadelphia before being traded to the Rams prior to the 2015 season.
Foles’s lone season with the Rams went extremely poorly, as he was benched in favor of Case Keenum at one point. Perhaps his old coach could help him rediscover something.
