Nick Foles was planning to retire in 2017 due to ‘lingering elbow issue’

It’s not news that newly signed Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles was planning to retire before the 2017 NFL season after largely unsuccessful stints with the then St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs.

What is a bit of a shocker is that it was because of a “lingering elbow injury” and not, well, just poor quarterback play.

That’s according to Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham who told ESPN’s Tim McManus that Foles told him he was hanging it up after a bad year in Kansas City.
