Report: Jaguars expect to sign Nick Foles when free agency opens

NFL free agency does not officially open for ten more days, but the market for the top quarterback looks to be settled already.

According to Les Bowen of philly.com, the Jacksonville Jaguars are essentially the only suitor for Nick Foles, and expect to sign him when the free agent period opens on March 13. The Jaguars have already begun to set up the structure of a contract.

Other potential quarterback-needy teams do not appear interested in Foles. The New York Giants are sticking with Eli Manning as their starter, while there has been no indication that the Washington Redskins or Miami Dolphins are set to launch a pursuit of Foles.

Jacksonville has essentially been the first and only team consistently linked to Foles, and they’ve been considered the favorite to sign him for some time. He should provide them with stability at quarterback after years of issues at the position.
