While Bears slog on, Philly pines for QB Nick Foles

As the Bears try for a seventh week to figure out their offense under veteran quarterback Nick Foles, another city is pining for him.

Really, Philly?

Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre — a friend of Eagles coach Doug Pederson dating back to their playing days — said Tuesday on ESPN that the Eagles should have kept Foles over Carson Wentz after the 2018 season. Instead, they traded Foles to the Jaguars and, within six months, gave Wentz a four-year, $128 million contract extension. Wentz’s 73.2 passer rating currently ranks 31st in the NFL.

Eagles reporters asked Pederson about it three times Wednesday.
