This would be a laughable question just a few weeks ago...But think of it, Nick Foles just won the Super Bowl MVP and is the only Philly QB to EVER lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl win. Sure, it appears Carson Wentz is the more talented guy....But so was Dan Marino compared to almost anyone else.

A Wentz-led Eagles will be good as long as he's not an injury prone QB (remember, he was coming off an injury out of college too), which he may always be with the style he plays. He likes to run like superman, but then gets injured. Foles just became an instant hero in Philly sports. Will they dump a hero?
 
Super Bowl MVP is fine but ultimately it's not reality. If a player does stupid things (Santonio Holmes) or just isn't a bonafide starter (Malcom Smith) there's no gaurentee.

That said, Philly would be smart to let him stay as a backup, hell there's an off chance he could retire. Remember he didn't even want to play anywhere except for Andy Reid. Who knows.

Nick Foles just fulfilled Eagles fan's deepest wish....Even they did not think he could do it. He's a fukkin god in Philly right now.

Depends on what they are offered for him. They would save a bit of money by trading him, but another backup would cost more than the savings, so no point there. As can be seen by this year, he has value to them as the backup. If they get offered enough, they trade him. If not, he's their 2nd stringer. Everybody knows that Wentz is the better QB overall, even if Foles had a good game at the best time.

He'll be starting for someone next year, imo.

I could see the Chiefs & Andy Reid trading for Foles now that Alex Smith is on to Washington.

With Mahomes there not a chance. They traded Smith to give Mahomes the keys to the car. Besides they had Foles and didn't resign him they drafted Mahomes instead.

Just think, next year....Carson Wentz starts throwing picks and the Super Bowl MVP is there on the bench...You start hear a low chant that is hard to understand until it gets louder and louder..."Foles, Foles Foles, Foles, Foles ,Foles!!!!!!!"


(Thanks to Deon for the idea)

I think a team like Buffalo or Arizona could make a run at him. Draft a guy and have Foles play out his contract in front of him.
 
Remember, Foles had a year a few years back, where he threw 26 TDs and only 2 INTs. This guy is pretty good. Someone will offer Philly a first rounder for him.
 
When the Rams released Foles, first thing I thought was “That guy is gonna win Super Bowl MVP”
