It appears there’s a growing trade market for Los Angeles Rams QB Nick Foles.
The Los Angeles Rams recently acquired the No.1 overall pick from the Tennessee Titans in the blockbuster deal, as they search for their franchise quarterback. The move to the big city of Los Angeles and the need for a quarterback has led to the Rams going all-in on either Carson Wentz or Jared Goff.
With a new quarterback coming to Los Angeles that will leave Nick Foles as a perfect candidate to be traded according to Adam Schefter.
Among the QB storylines to follow this week is where Rams QB Nick Foles winds up. Several teams intersted, per source.

Last season, the Rams pulled off a notable deal that swapped starting quarterbacks with the Philadelphia Eagles. The deal that sent Sam Bradford to the Eagles and Foles to the Rams didn’t work out well for either team, as they are picking one and two in the NFL Draft with both picks being quarterbacks.
It was a difficult season for Foles in 2015, as he totaled a 4-7 record as a starter with seven touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. The Rams won’t be getting much in return for Foles after his horrific season, as a late-round pick seems like a fair offer for the 27-year-old.
Like Schefter mentioned, there are a few teams that are interested in Foles and will take a shot on a quarterback that did have a great season a few years ago. In 2013, Foles was magnificent for the Eagles, as he totaled an 8-2 record with 27 touchdown passes and two interceptions.
Teams like the Denver Broncos or New York Jets might be willing to part with a late-round pick if their plans leading up to the NFL Draft backfire. Foles may have had a down years the past two seasons as a starter, but the 2013 season will be on the back of general manager’s minds leading up to the draft as they may believe they can turn him back around.
