Jaguars want to trade Nick Foles

If the Jaguars have their way, it’ll be Minshew Mania again in 2020. ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler report that the Jaguars “want to go with Gardner Minshew as their starting QB” next season. As a result, the organization would like to find a taker for Nick Foles. However, as the two reporters point out, it might not be easy to trade the veteran quarterback, and the Jaguars will have to “sweeten the deal, either with a pick or by paying part of the salary.”  Last offseason, Jacksonville signed the former Super Bowl MVP to a whopping four-year deal worth $50.1M guaranteed. The veteran will count for more than $22M against the cap next season, although teams could have an out (with a $12.5M cap hit) following the 2020 campaign. It’s not too surprising that the Jaguars are opting for the younger option. While Foles didn’t play horribly in his four starts, the team still went 0-4 with him under center. The Jaguars improved to 6-6 with Minshew at quarterback, and the rookie finished the season with a top-1
