The Jacksonville Jaguars might go after Nick Foles after all. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Jacksonville is likely to target Nick Foles this offseason after the Philadelphia Eagles decided against using their franchise tag on the veteran quarterback, making him a free agent.

The Eagles, fully committed to Carson Wentz at quarterback, had considered using the franchise tag on Foles, then engaging the league in trade discussions for one of the league's most gifted available quarterbacks. Instead, the team took a more player-friendly approach, allowing the MVP of Super Bowl LII full autonomy in choosing his next team.

“After a lot of conversation, we think letting him become a free agent is the right thing to do,” Philadelphia executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman said on Wednesday. “How He's a tremendous player, Super Bowl MVP, and someone we feel is a top-15 quarterback in this league. We were incredibly fortunate to have him and wish him the best in the future.”

Foles, 30, played in five games for the Eagles last season, filling in for an injured Wentz in both September and December. He guided Philadelphia to three consecutive wins to finish the season, earning a playoff berth in the process and further establishing himself as a winning quarterback. Foles' meteoric rise to stardom began the previous season, when he took over for Wentz – then a leading MVP candidate – in mid December and proceeded to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl.

Embattled Jacksonville signal-caller Blake Bortles threw for 2,718 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while completing 60.3 percent of his passes. The five-year pro reportedly put his area home up for sale on Tuesday.
