Dude is 29. He's got plenty of football left in him.

This isn't the 80's and 90's where QBs were actual football players. They don't get hit nearly as often.

Unless you're Cam Newton.

I don't think Foles has that kind of longevity. Heck, he was ready to hang it up just a short time ago.

The guys that last into their late 30s tend to be either elite quarterbacks or career backups. I don't think Foles is elite. Honestly I'd say he's probably not more than a year or so away from returning to earth.

It would be pretty bad ass if he just straight up retired and went out on top.

It would, but I think he'd be walking away from about  $30-40m..   I see a three to four year deal somewhere at about $10m per--

I really think you're going to see that change moving forward. With all the protection that QBs get, I foresee this current generation of QBs playing longer than guys before them. Hasselbeck played past 40 and he was a starter for years.  Matt Schaub is the current back-up for the falcons but was a starter for a long time in Houston. He's 36. Brees is still playing and I don't know if he'll ever stop (but I hope he does). Brady Just won an MVP award. Rodgers and Smith aren't younguns anymore. Eli and Rivers are still going strong. Palmer retired at 38, which is pretty dang old for a QB. He even had multiple significant knee injuries throughout his career. 

The only guys I foresee retiring at around 35 or so are Cam and Rothlisberger, and that's mainly due to how many hits they take extending plays that other QBs don't.

It's a weird contract that self destructs this offseason. He'll be a FA in order to save Cap room for the Eagles. 

Dude honestly deserves a starting opportunity. He's not a bad QB, he's just had some bad luck. Looks like he's getting his confidence back. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Buffalo or NYJ next year. 

He definitely proved he can win a championship. Something not even Jim Kelly or Dan Marino can say.

Nick Foles?

The guy who has been taking courses in seminary over the past year or two?

That "Big Dick Nick"?

You stay classy, Philly fans... lol.

They are who they are.  At least they're consistent.

And at least so far, no horses were harmed in the making of last night's celebration (though one was stolen and taken for a joyride).

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
