Jacksonville Jaguars: Nick Foles
Credit to Nick Foles for somehow always finding ways to take money from NFL teams. The former Arizona Wildcat had success early in his NFL career.
In 2013 during his first stint with the Eagles, he accumulated the best touchdown-to-interception ratio in NFL history, throwing 27 for 27 scores and just two interceptions. Following the 2014 season, though, Foles was traded to the Rams in exchange for their quarterback, Sam Bradford. He bounced around the league for a few seasons before ending up back in Philadelphia and helping the franchise win its first Super Bowl in 2017.
After another playoff run with the Eagles in 2018, the Jaguars were set to move on from Blake Bortles and signed Foles. Injuries and poor performances led to Foles only starting four games in Jacksonville after the Jaguars gave him a four-year deal worth $88 million, and over $45 million in guarantees.
The Jaguars moved off of Foles after 2019, sending him to Chicago for a fourth-round pick. Foles went 2-5 with the Bears in 2020 and has yet to take a snap in 2021. While he is one of the great Cinderella stories in NFL history, teams keep trying to squeeze out some of that magic that doesn’t seem to be there anymore.
