1. The Eagles can't trade him to whoever they want as the other team has to agree
I love this comment. I imagine Ryan Pace calling up John Lynch..."We are going to trade you Jordan Howard, and you are going to give me 2 first round draft picks whether you like it or not. Got it?"
Hence why Foles has some control or leverage as the agent noted.
A false statement. The agent never used the term "leverage" in your first article. You keep using that word.
2. He can't be traded unless he signs the tender so your argument again makes no sense. He has some leverage because he can refuse to sign
OMG! I thought we had moved on from iueyedoc's idiocy. Foles can "refuse to sign" regardless of being traded or not! The downside is that if he refuses to sign, he'll earn $0! So, in your logic, Foles would have "leveraged" himself into a current salary of $0!
or he can refuse to negotiate a long term deal which may impact what if anything teams offer the Eagles. This has been explained by an NFL agent.
Again, Foles can refuse to negotiate a short term deal, a 10-day contract, a 25 year contract...the length is inconsequential. He can chose to retire. When does "leverage" come into play?
