Now that Nick Foles has decided not to extend his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, and has paid the buyout for his trouble, what's next?
A new report suggests that Foles may be heading over to Jacksonville, where the Jaguars are showing an interest in the Super Bowl winner.

Mike Garafolo, who is a long-time NFL insider, said that Foles' potential trip down south has everything to do with the Joe Flacco trade, which is having a bit of a ripple effect throughout the NFL.
“My understanding is that Denver had done a little bit of work on Nick Foles, but not a lot of work on Nick Foles. And now we know it’s because it was a fallback plan should the Joe Flacco situation not work out for them. So, I really didn’t see them as an aggressive [suitor]. So, now everybody’s making the connection to Jacksonville for Foles, and it’s an obvious one. And I do believe they are interested there, and there’s going to be mutual interest. And that’s the key. I mean, some of these other places that are going to open up for Nick Foles, I don’t know that he’s going to have a lot of interest in those spots. I do believe Denver would’ve been intriguing for him because it’s a roster with a good amount of talent and a good situation. But that was not going to be reciprocated by Denver. So, I don’t see a great impact on Nick Foles.”
Should Foles end up in Jacksonville, he'll be reunited with John DeFilippo, who was hired as the offensive coordinator there.
