Getty ImagesThe Buccaneers need a quarterback. Nick Foles needs a job. And both could solve their problem in one fell swoop.
Via Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, a report emerged on Friday that Foles and the Buccaneers have mutual interest.
Foles, who spent 2016 with the Chiefs after a disastrous season with the Rams, would give Tampa Bay the kind of experienced understudy the team needs to Jameis Winston, whose physical style of play involves a higher risk of injury.
Drafted by the Eagles in 2012, a seven-touchdown performance in 2013 (part of a 27-touchdown, two-interception performance) seemed to clinch the long-term job. Less than two years later, the Eagles swapped him out for Sam Bradford.
The Buccaneers drafted Mike Glennon in 2013. He left for Chicago earlier this week, signing a three-year, $45 million contract.
why would he want to be an understudy, instead of a starter?? the Jets need a quarterback, why not there??
This would be a great signing for both parties. Foles is a guy who can win a few games here and there if your QB goes down for a short period. That could be the difference in remaining in a playoff race and missing out.
Foles and Glennon are pretty much carbon copies and equally capable so this would be a good get for the Bucs.
This makes sense. Seems like Foles is content on being a back-up or only playing for a winning team.
Best option available for the Bucs in my opinion. For Foles he gets to live in a great area and probably won’t have to play much.
Bucs taking KCs best QB
I rather be back up behind Winston than start for SF,NYJ, etc
Honestly, I think Foles is better than Glennon. This would be a great signing.
drunkraider, BREAKING NEWS! bet you wish you had a decent backup last year.LOL!
