One of Arizona’s most accomplished—and well-traveled—professional football players may be close to heading to a new franchise for the 2022 season.
Zak Keefer of The Athletic is reporting that the Indianapolis Colts are close to signing veteran quarterback Nick Foles as a backup to recently acquired passer Matt Ryan. Per Keefer, a deal could be announced as soon as next week.
Foles, 33, was released by the Chicago Bears on May 1 after spending the 2020 and 2021 seasons with them. He started eight games for the Bears, including last December when he threw the game-winning touchdown pass in the final seconds to beat the Seattle Seahawks in the snow.
