The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a two-year contract with quarterback Nick Foles, who was the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles when they won the Super Bowl, a source confirmed on Monday.
A source told Jeremy Fowler that the Eagles showed interest in a possible reunion with the quarterback before he signed with the Colts.
The Colts acquired Matt Ryan from the Atlanta Falcons in a trade and will back him up.
The news of the agreement with the Colts was first reported.
Sam Ehlinger, who was selected by the Colts in the sixth round of the 2021 draft, is one of the quarterbacks on the depth chart.
The Chicago Bears released quarterback Nickolas on May 1 in a move that was expected after they signed a quarterback in free agency.
Two seasons ago, the Bears traded a fourth-round draft pick to Jacksonville to acquire Foles. The quarterback who was signed to a four-year, $88 million contract by the Jags, Nick Foles, broke his collarbone in the season opener and never regained the starting job.
The Super Bowl LII Most Valuable Player started seven games in 2020, but only played in one game last season.
Over the course of 10 seasons, he has thrown for 14,003 yards with 82 touchdown and 43 interceptions.
He earned a Pro Bowl selection with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013) but had his most notable season in 2017: when he was called upon to replace an injured Carson Wentz in Week 15. He led the team to its first Super Bowl championship, completing 72.6% of his passes in the playoffs for 971 yards, with six touchdown and one interception.
