I doubt it. They were still crying after signing him to a 4 year 88mil contract in 2019.
Bears tried to trade quarterback Nick Foles to the Eagles & other teams but nobody wants him

Dalton’s cap hit doubles if you cut him.
Foles was good in relief a couple times for Philly and everywhere else has been a football abomination.
Foles salary next year is 10 million. We save 7 million by cutting him. The only thing decent about his salary is that we can save it.

Some idiot team gave them a 4 round pick and took on 24 million of that 44 the Jaguars guaranteed him.

They are very much on the same level Dalton is just the $hit you aint smelt yet but it will hit by week one .
In the last 5 years
Foles :
won a SB in one year
Won a playoff game against us the other year
Dalton :
made the pro bowl as the alternate for the 6-9 Bengals 5 years ago
played with the best offense in the worst division last year and failed to make the playoffs
They signed Dalton because they had to sell the meatballs that they are doing things because after all its the meatballs who blame Foles for last year . Somehow Foles is to blame yet these same meatballs are saying dont play Fields until we know the oline is sacrifice Dalton ?

Those are team accomplishments.
Dalton’s production dwarfs Foles. Last season he was significantly better for Dallas than Foles was for us.
Dalton is much better than Foles. Foles played well for 4 games and some how convinced everyone he was not awful.

We can always hope for an injury.

The Jets are expected to add a veteran before training camp. They have already met with journeyman Brian Hoyer, while former San Francisco 49ers backup Nick Mullens is another free-agent option. Both Mullens and Hoyer have ties to the Jets' new coaching staff, most of which came from the 49ers. Chicago Bears backup Nick Foles also has been mentioned in media speculation.

I see Foles holding the clipboard all season. Might even get backup duty if Dalton is hurt early on. It sounds like the last thing Nagy wants to do is rush Fields onto the field.

I wouldn't be shocked if Foles is cut before camp. He offers absolutely nothing to the Bears. Another stupid/bad FA signing.

So you missed the entire thread? Why would they cut him when it costs more to cut him than have him on the roster and the team has almost no cap space. It isn't happening

Well 1) I didn't say they would I said I wouldn't be shocked if they did and 2) they have carried Trey Burton's dead money for 3 years (among others) to the tune of $17M for 2021. It's not unheard of.

Those cuts created cap space. I'm not sure you understand how this works.
You understand foles literally cost more this year if he's cut right?

As a 6/1 cut, he costs about the same either way. That said, there's no point in moving him before the 53. Other teams may develop a need or Foles may decide he doesn't like the closet and chooses to leave. The last 2 years are voidable by Foles but not sure under what circumstances.

Patients, because someone is going to need a QB and Foles could be a good backup.
If we have Pre-season games I could see them not wanting to get Dalton or Fields hurt so Foles will get a lot of snaps and will likely look good at times, thus increasing his value.
If it is going to hurt our cap, then cutting him does not make sense with the 55 man roster, and he can be inactive on Game day unless he is needed but still help on the sideline with Fields.
He still has some value to the team, just not as much as his salary. Nothing we can do about it this year.
Additionally, if Foles actually wants to be a coach, this could be his opportunity to work with the staff....

Both still hurt your cap, going forward, either way. It's how you get in cap hell, making desperate moves because you didn't have an iota of foresight.

Foles trade didn't work, but makes no sense to cut him now. Just hold on to him for the time, maybe he will be an asset to Fields. Hope for some QB needy team to trade for him during the season if their starter goes down and maybe Pace can get a 6th back.
