Chicago Bears release quarterback Nick Foles after two seasons
The Chicago Bears have released quarterback Nick Foles, the team announced Sunday.
The Bears originally acquired Foles two seasons ago in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fourth-round draft pick.
After starting seven games in 2020, the Super Bowl LII MVP logged only one start last season, leading the Bears to a 25-24 road victory over the Seattle Seahawks in which he threw for 250 yards and a touchdown pass.
The Bears will save $3 million against their salary cap with the move, which comes with a $7.66 million dead cap charge, according to Spotrac.com. The Bears will be up to $57 million in dead cap money once linebacker Danny Trevathan's release becomes official after June 1.
