now it's official Nick Foles will be the
quarterback for the Jaguars
the Super Bowl 50 to MVP agreed to the
terms in his deal at the start of free
agency this afternoon right now the
scoreboards take a look at TI a bank
filled are welcoming foals and his
family to Jacksonville tomorrow at 1
o'clock the Jaguars will introduce foals
in a news conference now new video the
Jaguars released showing his new jersey
being sown he will wear the number 7
let's go live to the stadium with cold
pepper cold the Jaguars they finally
have their franchise QB well that's
certainly the hope joy when you pay
somebody four years in 88 million
dollars as a contract that could be
upwards of a hundred two million dollars
if all the incentives are reached that's
what you're expecting a franchise
quarterback and I think we can safely
say the Jaguars really haven't had that
since Mark Brunell was playing here on
this field and again as you mentioned
tomorrow 1 o'clock we'll have a chance
to meet foals we'll hear from Tom
Coughlin Doug Marrone and Dave Caldwell
and of course the quarterback as well
and this is the message that he is being
sent from these huge scoreboards a TIAA
banked field he will be the one to step
in under Center for the Jaguars in 2019
replacing Blake bortles and while
bortles had some moments in his Jaguars
career Folse has delivered in the clutch
and on the biggest stage and that's
something Mark Brunell said in the
upcoming edition of teal the podcast his
teammates will recognize about him right
away the word call is hope because we're
gonna get in some some close games at
the end and at least in 2019 with Nick
Foles you're gonna have a measure of
hope because he's done it before and to
your point and you absolutely nailed it
and that's the biggest difference Blake
didn't deliver in those moments it was
too much for Nick Foles is not the case
because he's had moments like that in
the fourth quarter where he's taking the
team down and he's won a game big games
no quarterback wins them all but the
really good ones win the ones they're
suppose when you raise a little bit more
about Nick Foles he's thirty years old
born in Austin Texas his greatest sports
moment came when he led the Eagles to
the Super Bowl and became Super Bowl 52
MVP after football full says he plans to
be a pastor
he's taking some online courses
now through seminary he's married and
has a daughter named Lily he was drafted
by the Eagles out of Arizona in 2012
after playing for Philly and the Rams
and cheese foals re signed with the
Eagles today he wrote this about his
decision to return to Philadelphia in
the players Tribune quote I realized
that this was much more than an X's and
O's decision it was a decision about
what city our daughter was going to
spend her first years in and have her
first memories in and call her hometown
and there's just something about it but
my heart said Philly I'm pretty sure a
piece of it always will and the Jaguars
and the city of Jackson was certainly
hoping that foals will have the same
kind of feeling about the City of
Jacksonville if he has some great
success that will certainly go a long
way the Jaguars also today reportedly
making a move to re-sign right guard AJ
can on a three year 15 million dollar
deal putting good pieces around foals is
going to be very important as far as his
development and his performance here in
Jacksonville for now we're live at TIAA
Bank Stadium colpepper channel 4 the
local station Cole as happy as we are
for foals surely I can't be the only one
wondering what this means for Blake
bortles yeah this really it signals what
we have known for a long time Joyce this
is going to be the end of Blake bortles
the Jaguars have not yet released
bortles officially that will happen at
some point here in the offseason
whether that happens today or tomorrow
they will have to make the decision on
whether he's going to be designated as a
post June 1st release but they can
actually buy the rules release them
beforehand and just that affects the
salary cap but as far as bortles tenure
here yet a lot of hope a lot of
expectations but he never quite got over
the hump to deliver in those key moments
something that foals has done for the
Eagles joy Cole thank you folks in Cole
story you heard a snippet from teal the
podcast it's from a new episode
available for download later tonight
Cole and Mark Brunell will further
discuss the Jaguars signing nick foles
and the impact it will have on the Jags
offseason plans
