Nick Foles will be the next quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars which means his time with the Philadelphia Eagles is coming to an end.
Foles has spent two stints with the Eagles and penned a letter in the Players Tribune, thanking the team and city for all the love.
A letter to @Eagles fans, from @NickFoles.https://t.co/owbmqfp7it

In the letter, Foles talks about the biggest reason he decided to come back to Philadelphia is because of his love for the city and he is so proud that he was able to help bring a championship to a city that so long has longed to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
Because for as much of an honor as it’s been to play for this team and this city…… the truest privilege has been over the last year, in the time since we won the Super Bowl — having Eagles fans share their stories with me. Having them remind me of how we didn’t just win the Super Bowl; we won the Eagles’ first Super Bowl ever. Getting to hear from Philly natives about how their father, or father’s father, or mother, or mother’s mother, cried tears of happiness after the game. Learning about how, for most people, rooting for the Eagles is more than a decision — it’s a birthright.
It’s family.
Philadelphia, thank you for welcoming me into yours.
You will forever be a part of mine.
Love Always,
Nick
Even though the second stint was short with the Eagles, there is no doubt he will go down as one of the most likable and most important players in franchise history.
