Nick Foles wrote his name into football folklore when he won the Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. The quarterback led his team to a stunning 41-33 win over the New England Patriots and picked up the MVP award in the big game.
Interestingly, Foles wasn't even the first-choice quarterback for Philadelphia that season. He was promoted as a starter after Carson Wentz suffered a torn ACL injury near the end of the regular season.
Despite leading the Eagles on an exceptional playoff run and their first-ever Super Bowl title, Foles was traded by the team the following season.
Many believed that Philadelphia would slap their franchise tag on Foles to keep him on the team. The Eagles also announced on January 19, 2019, that they would pick up the $20 million option on Foles' contract.
