Nick Foles ranked 10th-best player who was traded this offseason

The Chicago Bears had several veteran options they could've targeted in free agency to compete with Mitch Trubisky for the starting quarterback job, but they opted to go the trade route and sent a fourth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Nick Foles.

The trade is what it is. Foles isn't an exciting addition, but he's at least a competent NFL quarterback who's capable of saving the 2020 season if Trubisky isn't the guy Ryan Pace thought he was.

Still, in an offseason that included players like Cam Newton and Tom Brady, Foles feels like more of a dud than a firework.
