Count Colin Cowherd among those who think free agent quarterback Nick Foles would be a perfect fit for the New York Giants.

The Fox Sports talk-show host pointed out several reasons for why Foles and the Giants are a great match.

The Giants are reported to have a degree of interest in Foles, but that does seem to go against what general manager Dave Gettleman has been saying.

Gettleman recently stated that the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback model is a good one to follow, where you draft a young signal-caller and have him learn behind a veteran for a year before taking the reins the following season as Patrick Mahomes did with Alex Smith.

That indicates that the Giants are looking to draft a quarterback with their first-round draft pick and have Eli Manning mentor him for one season before officially making a change at the position in 2020.

For a New York team that genuinely needs a youthful signal-caller to truly begin the rebuilding process, signing a 30-year-old Foles doesn't seem to make much sense.

Foles has possibly the strangest career arc of any quarterback in the history of the league.

He doesn't really have an established track record as a successful starter in the NFL, but yet, he has an incredible Super Bowl run under his belt that gave the Philadelphia Eagles their first Super Bowl title in the history of their franchise.

The Giants are coming off of a season in which they won just five games. They have made the playoffs just once since last winning the Super Bowl during the 2011-12 campaign.
