The Philadelphia Eagles informed Nick Foles that they will pickup his $20 million option for 2019. ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Foles will void the option.
To void the option, Foles will have to repay $2 million to Philadelphia from his 2018 signing bonus.

Once those transactions officially take place, the Eagles are expected to franchise tag the Super Bowl LII MVP for $25 million, then trade him.
Philadelphia’s asking price for Foles is reportedly a third-round draft pick.
Via ESPN:
The Eagles refused to specify any of their plans for Foles. But being that other teams already have inquired on Foles’ price, and it is expected to be around a third-round pick, the way for Philadelphia to secure the quarterback’s rights this offseason would be with a franchise tag.
A third-round draft picks seems like a steal for the Super Bowl hero. Especially for a team in need of a quarterback.
Sure whoever trades for Foles will have to pay a ton of money for him, but he’s repeatedly proven he can lead a team to the playoffs. Not every quarterback has that skill.
