Nick Foles sends a subtle message to the Colts

Barely a few months – and no matches – have passed since los Indianapolis Colts they acquired Carson Wentz in a trade and They already need another quarterback.

Coincidentally the no, Nick Foles, an old acquaintance of France, Colts coach, he’s not satisfied with his role as third quarterback for the Chicago Bears. And the stars could align.

Just last weekend, Bears coach Matt Nagy admitted that Foles will attract a lot of trade proposals, and news broke Monday that Wentz will be out between five and 12 weeks after having surgery on the foot. Foles is not naive and knows what that could mean.

And he loves it.

“I don’t want to go with someone I don’t know,” Foles said, Super Bowl LII MVP with the Eagles, where Reich was the offensive coordinator. “When you have a great staff of coaches, you have something special. One of the main reasons we were successful in Philly is because we had a great staff of coaches. It put us in a position to be successful. “

What could be construed as a subtle criticism of Nagy on her way out the door, is also a not so subtle wink from Foles in Reich’s direction to find a meeting on a team that has enough talent to be, at least, in the postseason.

Obviously, there is provision for one of the parties ─Foles─ to have a second party in Indianapolis, but we’ll have to wait if Reich and the Indianapolis board are willing to pull the trigger on a 32-year-old quarterback who is 2-9 as a starter in the past two seasons since leaving the Eagles.

Foles described Reich as “one of my favorite trainers, if not the all-time favorite ”, but it is not clear that there is a place for him in Indianapolis, especially considering that more or less at the same time Reich declared to The Athletic that “The job now belongs to Jacob (Eason) … and he will have to earn it.”

The Reich thing could well be a smokescreen to hide his intentions to go after Foles in the exchange market, or it could be the way to give Eason… and Wentz a vote of confidence.

After all, Wentz is under contract until 2024 And, as last season in Philadelphia showed, he doesn’t handle the competition very well.
