Stephen A. Smith says Eagles should trade Nick Foles | First Take | ESPN 

They won't trade Foles. He's a legend in Philly now.

It would be stupid and disrespectful to the guy who won Philly their first football championship in 58 years to trade him.

Eren sN - Wentz is the future.

eBron James yeah the future for another team he’s outta there

And the franchises first SB in history at that. Stephen is either a great troll or fool.

kbayj I thought about the same thing

kbayj I hope they keep him

kbayj he loves it there

staying in the pocket is boring asf especially when you do it on every play in every game .

kbayj Right he is very smooth back there, laid back seems like he doesn't have a worry in the world lol. Dude game is hella smooth. I say keep him unless he just wants to leave, then you can see what you can get out of the deal for him

Paul K. Gill 😃

Eric Trade your Superbowl winning qb mvp Philly fans didn't deserve a Superbowl 👎👎👎👎👎

Eric because you gave up the farm for Wentz & he set y'all up with a bye & had best record in NFL before he was injured & he's a franchise qb foles is not in sorry he played great but he's no drew Bree's cmon mane

Luke Saint Butt hurt?

Rico Suave That's true, but he's amazing in that system, so find a team who also runs that system and needs a QB. Also, very true no one is near Drew Brees

Eric Check out our Eagles Superbowl Mix 🔥🔥🔥

Nobody would even watch this show without Stephen A he is ESPN lmao

LMFAO this is one of the most hilarious comments ever

OUCH. LOL

GTA 5 But why keep him on your roster when you have Carson Wentz and trade him for future draft picks

lol without this guy this show is over

Brando Williams Tru, I think SAS is just trying to be controversial when he says those things. There's no way he actually thinks everyone should be traded all of the time.

Brando Williams ... Actually, all of those people with the exception of Aron Rodgers should be traded.

Brando Williams you wrote all that? Loser.

You can't just trade away nba players anymore the league is unbalanced enough already with durant joining gsw.

lebron needs to come to philly

Alec Ashby he wont be cool at all plus he want to get paid 20 millions per like other superbowl winning quarterback

Alec Ashby if Joe flacco can get paid money like he has with my ravens Foles is gonna want that pay check too

Alec Ashby I had to see talent get waisted on the Bench so I hope he starts somewhere else

just keep him .. and pay that man some big money ..

tito k Can't do that too much money to have on the bench

not with that system

Foles isn’t back up but he is Wentz’s back up

Thiessen Yang That's true, so if they find a team who runs a similar offense and needs a QB would be best for Foles

This is tough. In one breath, you would like to get something if you can for him. But what if Wentz gets hurt again or has a setback??? I would feel comfortable knowing I have a guy who can step in and we won't miss a beat. Eagles have a tough choice to make

JoshCannon Find a QB who can run the system that can keep the Eagles in contention

Jordan Davis you Wildin Kirk could've won them the sb last night & that's facts

Rico Suave Nick Foles won it tf are you talking about?

That is bullsh#t. " No matter what Nick Foles did, this is Carson Wentz team." You judge everyone else on what they done. SAS is stupid.

I'm half and half on this

Damn right I would. Kirk is a choker.

good point not an Eagles fan - (Bears fan here)I think he won a SB what else does the man have to do. I'd stick with him, the way he played he could prob. win couple of more.

Yeah, I am no Eagles fan either, but I was rooting for them last night haha. I am a Packers fan. You cannot let go of a QB who performed like THAT last night. Dude looked Rodgers-esque

give him credit he did play good though.

I disagree with you and I'm an Eagles fan and a Nick Foles fan really am, I know almost everything about him, I was even a fan of him when he was with the Rams and before Foles was traded I told everyone that Foles would be the first QB to win a SB for the Eagles (I never said that about McNabb, Kolb, Vick) but I said that about Foles, my cousin called him the Vanilla Ice of the NFL, I was telling him that Foles is a great QB and once Peyton, Brady Brees and Big Ben would retire, he would be a top 3 to 5 QB in the League, still believe it, but Wentz will probably become the best QB in the League once they retire (Rodgers would be 38 years old he would be in the downfall of his career) and this season Wentz was the best QB in the League. That being said I expect the Eagles to receive a 1st round pick AND SOMETHING ELSE And also the Eagles have 5 contributors who will be free agents: Bradham, Robinson, Burton and Blount the 2 first mentioned are the 2 most important, if the Eagles want to have $ to resign 2 to 4 of them the 7 Millions they could get would be huge.

First King just like no one said it would happen this time right lololollolololololololol y’all never learn. U were one of the people saying the pats already won before the game huh

AkilTheAwesome hell yeah.. its only fair... he won you a superbowl

I disagree with you and I'm an Eagles fan and a Nick Foles fan really am, I know almost everything about him, I was even a fan of him when he was with the Rams and before Foles was traded I told everyone that Foles would be the first QB to win a SB for the Eagles (I never said that about McNabb, Kolb, Vick) but I said that about Foles, my cousin called him the Vanilla Ice of the NFL, I was telling him that Foles is a great QB and once Peyton, Brady Brees and Big Ben would retire, he would be a top 3 to 5 QB in the League, still believe it, but Wentz will probably become the best QB in the League once they retire (Rodgers would be 38 years old he would be in the downfall of his career) and this season Wentz was the best QB in the League.

Sam Nabaso yes but that won't happen because foles knows he's not a back up and nobody in there right mind goes out and wins mvp if sb and stays back up its never going to happen foles will be offered Money to be what he deserves a starter

Sam Nabaso and keep Nate Sudeld too

Oh shad up

I fully agree. Eagles fan here. Foles now worth more then 7 million over 2 years or however much they are paying him. I'd like him to stay, but his value, right now, never going to be worth more in light of having Wentz. Ya can't keep and pay everyone. ??? Why not? Didn't the NFL rake in like 7 BILLION!?

Mike Anderson thats the only valid point

Mike Anderson What if he said fuck you eagles iam superbowl mvp now I aint playing backup for no one.

dr no tbh if it was me... ill play backup

Marco Morocho I hope they trade him and I'm a Pats fan,if they do it would be a huge mistake to trade a QB that won them a Championship but they're in a difficult spot because they also have Wentz

First king really? The defense got more yards put on them than almost any game in NFL HISTORY. They made ONE play no doubt it was big but foles outdueled Brady 41 points in the damn superbowl. GIve the man his props eagles offense was sick but foles had a MVP performance no doubt. I slept on foles too but theres no denying hes a starter at worst

Wentz is better tho

Red Scorpion they should keep Wentz instead because Wentz potential is so high remember Wentz last year yeah a lot of improvement

I’m an Eagles fan and I agree. First of all it’s a bad look to free agents who want to come here. People don’t think about that. Also he delivered philly it’s first SB. He’ll never have to buy his food in Philly ever again. They won’t trade him. If Wentz goes down again next year he’s first man in and knows the expectation. Can’t get rid of a man like that. If he walks after his contract that’s one thing. Trading him after this run would be a huge mistake.

Joey Barrelwilde his pay check won't change you idiot. He's still under contract. Even if he's traded, he's still under the same contract on his new team next year

Joey Barrelwilde lmao you think winning a super bowl automatically makes you elite lol so if Trent dilfer won his Super Bowl with the ravens was he elite. The guy lost his job and did his new job as a backup perfectly. No one is stupid enough to pay 100m for this guy.

Joey Barrelwilde he's not starting over wentz that's for sure

J e t s jets jets jets

ja1boi lol

David Green thats false joe montana was already old wentz is 2 years in foles is older than wentz terrible comparison. Montana was already a champ and mvp steve young was talented and YOUNGER. the eagles situation is totally opposite

David Green that is a terrible comparison cuz joe Montana was on his way out while steve young still had years to go carson wents is not even 24 years old and nick foles is like 28-29 maybe even 30

Nick Foles value will never be higher. They wait another year they get nothing.

True but you know teams might pick up the phone with an offer for Foles. He is a starter. If teams call up the eagles they will listen for offers.

Foles has a good attitude but it's gonna be tough sitting it out when you won the super bowl next year. This Stephen guy is a money guy. He sees a tactic here. I'm glad he's not my boss.

William Smith He is ok with being a back up to, he knows what he can do and he understands how he can contribute to the Eagles. I’m just glad we got a ring with foles because he was supposed to be the franchise guy but chip kelly ruined it

i doubt it,, a football players dream is to start... you think he prefer to backup someone in philly rather than start... sike.. the dude wants to ball hard while he has a chance.. 2maro isnt promised to him. his career can end anytime... Right now his confidence is sky high in himself and she ride the wave while his priming with his own team..

Jerome Crockett you obviously have no clue about Foles. He's gone on record about this many times and is a very humble guy who understands his role. As stated by both William and Toolshed, he is happy on this team regardless of his role on this team. He's said that many times. He loves this city, he loves its fans, he loves his team! You'd be surprised what people would do to be in that type of environment.

yeah but its selfish to not let him chase his dreams.. he just won a superbowl he deserves to see what he can do.. he wants to settle into a backup role or chase the opportunity to be one of the greatest ever do it.. he gets one more ring with another team he goes into the hall of fame

Unfrotunately, he's still under contract til next year so he has no choice in this at the moment.

Would be messed up if they didn’t . He’s going to get benched next season if he stays on the eagles . He deserves a starting position .

Brandon Napper fuck em

if you do that he’ll rot on the bench

Brandon Napper You're letting your emotions for him cloud the most profitable option for the business, and the city.

Brandon Napper what about wentz

Aarsh Ray What else would you do? Bench him? You're just proving me right. Because of everything you just said his trade value is as high as it will ever get. Who cares what he did question is who can do it again first Wentz, or Foles. My money on Wentz

GRINGO NEW YORK I feel the jags would be perfect for him.

Stoner Stanley yeah he would fit in nicely with them...

Nick foles in jags would be TO BEAST

GRINGO NEW YORK, i get what you mean but foles is a playoffs god

GRINGO NEW YORK Nick Foles with Jags!!!! That's a Super Bowl team right there.

swat19 are they just supposed to leave him on the bench while he is so valuable

How?

swat19 nah he's right on this one. Why would you want an elite QB to be second string

Perry David Exactly, plus moving these Elite QBs around, along with this draft class, will make the upcoming season more exciting

swat19 how? Why wud u keep him?

Pokémon Trainer Yang Id like to see him in Jacksonville

or back in Kansas City

Pokémon Trainer Yang 👎🏽 nope

YES PLEASE. WE NEED A QB

Pokémon Trainer Yang jags instead

Because you have Carson Wentz

neko mckelly value and avoid potential problems in Philly with having him as backup qb.

0:17

If Philly is smart they would profit from selling Foles merch then let his contract go out.

neko mckelly why sit him on da bench?

Wentz showed way more then just potential.. he’d be the league mvp if he never got hurt. That’s saying a lot right there

The Eagles were the #1 seed with a week off and home field throughout the playoffs because of Carson Wentz.

exactly. I would be signing Foles long term(people also forgot his performance a few years ago with Philly when he started). Trade Wentz for the house, send him back to the Browns who were too scared to draft him originally.

Carson Wentz was poised to lose the Rams game. There wasn't anything locked up. Foles played the games to lock up home field throughout. Again, he's a definite under pressure, not a maybe. Wentz played terrific, but also go hurt trying to be a fullback in a critical part of the season.

Deathstroke The Terminator cam newton was an mvp..... ryan was an mvp.... he had the best line on football and the 2nd best D. Not to mention an abundance of weapons and the best rushing attack in football. Let's not say he made the team

Dat_Gamester You know that didn't end well, right?

@Dat_Gamester(open): In today's NFL business model, that's not a very likely(or viable) option.

Dat_Gamester naawwwwww this isn't that story bro .....

Dat_Gamester but Montana was older than young while foles is older than wentz

Monty Chambliss That honestly ended fantastically. Keeping Steve Young around got the absolute best out of Montana (2 straight super bowls, 2 straight mvps) then when Montana leaves Young is ready to take the reigns and 2 years later he wins the super bowl. The eagles can get the best out of Wentz if Foles sticks around and gives him pressure.

Kakaroto K why not get a number pick if possible. but i’ll keep him he just proved that a backup qb is the second most important position in football

Sean Ward You people in in Philadelphia haven't won shit for decades. Now Foles won you a Ring and you want to trade him. Lmao

You can’t keep both. Foles would leave when his contract is up. There is no way in hell he’ll settle for being a backup after winning the Super Bowl. And you would get nothing from that if you just keep him till he leaves. You gotta get something out of it while you can.

Kakaroto K chill I'm an eagles fan and every eagles fan that says we need to trade foles gotta zip they mouth 😂

John David Merritt so, you trade the guy who won you a Super Bowl? Lmao You have won nothing before, but you are trading the guy who won it for you !

Raiders Cat That cat looks yummy, do us a favor and take it to ur local chinese restaurant

Raiders Cat cheers my friend cheers

Trap 4 Thr33 #MyNameisDarrell CHEERS 🐱🍻

Raiders Cat What the hell makes u think ima nazi?

Dat Boi your comment.

Because he would want to start and you would want to trade him because his value is high, think the teams like the Cardinals,Browns, even the Bills would want him over a rookie QB

0:17

Because you have a young starter that would have won MVP and the SB anyway he's gonna be playing for years! Nick Foles damn near 30 not many players stay elite after that

The Fit Gamer Hope chiefs get him .🙏

A1 Video gamer because Philly fans didn't appreciate what foles did. Used him . Shame on Philly fans. 👎👎

Ike.O Cause Carson is better than Foles...Thats Why.

Ike.O because the eagles don't need him his value is high now the giants need a qb browns always looking for qb they both got number 1 and 2 pick browns also got a 4th pick cardinals and broncos might also need one

RariGold I don’t think my Eagles will trade him because of the injury to Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz injury was like RG3 and if not handled properly, we can mess up his career...

Ike.O basically what I'm saying the NFL is a business and each player is stock and foles was cheap stock that did well for a bit the plummeted for while so the eagles brought that while the price was low now the stock is at an all time high and what do you do then keep it or sell it to get your money it's about supply and demand my guy oh you need a qb well I got one

Ike.O no one listens to him but you just did lol

He didn't say Cam either smh

You take luck over wentz....the fuck? O.o

June Rivera wentz had the best line in football, tons of weapons and the 2nd best defense. Luck has had nothing on his team and went 11-5 3 years straight and to the afc championship game. People need to stop saying Luck isnt a top 3 qb. He's an unreal quarterback. Injuries aside he is the best young qb in football, if not maybe even the best. Signed, not a colts fan

Great qb..i dont disagree. Better than wentz? If wentz is consistent with what we've seen, no. He was aaron rodgers like this season.

Micah Watkins hmmmm 👀

That would be a move that would be the talk of the year!!

Oh god please no. Wash your mouth out with soap!

Kenny G Choonit I'm a Pats fan and I agree with that but I guess they're in a tough position to pick Wentz or Foles.

Idk bout that sir. Especially if you have an elite starter.

John Morrison you're not Elite until you win a Superbowl.

Kenny G Choonit and you're saying that Foles is elite🤔. Until they nfc championship his defense was carrying the team. He played 2 great games I'll admit but we all know who the starter will be next season. And for all of those that keep going around saying what if wentz gets injured again, my retort is what if he doesn't? You don't think Foles wants to sit in the bench again don't you?

John Morrison if we don't make the playoffs next year I don't want the excuse that we traded Nick Foles

mandings36, not clevland to much potential, maybe buffalos cause of benjamin

k dizzle you are fucking stupid , do you know what they did to get Carson Wentz ... he’s their future ...

When you have Wentz who is your franchise QB, then you talk about it. When you have a salary cap, then you talk about it. If the Eagles can afford to keep Foles they should, as Wentz is truly hurt and should not be rushed back. Everybody on the team is gonna want big money now too...

It makes sense especially for a number one draft pick

Marvin Santana Nope shows how much of a bot you are everything he says is his opinion get it?his opinion not mine different people think different things which is why this show is so good because they disagree alot.

Tee Man if you agree with show off stephen a smith than you are as dumb as he is...foyles is Superbowl mvp.. .you two negroes are not eagles fans

James Washington ok tell me how does he benefit the eagles when Wentz comes back?He is just going to be on the bench,they have to get something while they can while he's hot.

Tee Man get who??? Wentz got a fucked up knee and could get hurt again...you need more than one quarterback in case the other gets hurt...so if wentz gets hurt again because his ass will not stay in the pocket and keeps running...then what??... foyles might not start but could come in part of the games when eagles have a huge lead... why trade foyles...who's better...fuck stephen a ...he's not a real philly guy

its.mylez E7 exactly what I have been saying today haha

okay but what if wentz gets injured again?

hip360hop Foles would leave no matter what if you kept him as a backup. You can’t keep him unless you make him starter. But then Wentz would leave QBs don’t settle for being backups when they don’t have to.

John David Merritt that didn't answer my question... What happens if wentz gets injured again? If they keep foles, they still have a guy who has proven he can win in big moments. He's under contract for another year, so why not keep him for insurance purposes as max was saying. Wentz is an absolute stud, but you never know when a play may be your last

hip360hop because Foles will never be worth more as a tradable asset as he is now. The difference between waiting and pulling the trigger now can mean not getting your hands on future franchise talent. You don’t know if this was a flash in the pan, sure he came off the bench for the playoffs and won the Super Bowl, but so did Joe Flacco. Patriots waited till the deadline and only got a 2nd round pick for Jimmy G. You gotta sell when the value is at its highest. A lot of factors can make his value go down and if you wait too long, teams might just let his contract run out and then you get nothing.

Are you the guy who had his finger bit off by the eel?

Orcinus1967 na, day was ma uncle jimmy

Mopey lol they already set.

+youmadbro951 in what world are they "set". They only made it as far as they did because Seattle and Green Bay were riddled with injuries. Philly better pick up their game before the true contenders get healthy or it's gonna get ugly.

Preston2cool bullshit

+Samuel Akiwumi philly lost to a Seattle team featuring the legion of WHOM and a soggy card board box for an o line. I'm pretty sure that a Seattle Team with all it's starting defenders and o line would beat Philly by much more than 10. And gb missed Aaron Rodgers for most of the season. Just face it, if sea and gb are healthy, philly or Minnesota won't be back. Sea and gb both have a top 3 qb in my opinion and philly won't compete with that in a healthy state.

Preston2cool Haha Eagles are built for long term success my dude..first of all Our team was decimated with injuries all year as well but you only mention GB and Seattles injuries?Jason Peters, Sproles, Jordan Hicks, Maragos, Wentz...these are all Pro Bowl Caliber players but we still went 13-3 and won the Superbowl...We have our core guys locked up and once healthy next year we will be NFC favorites once again, so FOH with that! Secondly, A healthy Packer team( mediocre defense, not much depth) or Seahawk team (Legion of Boom falling apart, garbage O line) wouldnt have gotten past Atlanta or Saints in the playoffs, both of whom have better talent and teams overall, let alone our Eagles who have superior talent and depth in all 3 phases...You sir are just another Philly hater and see only what you want to see...But in the end we dont give a f*ck what anyone thinks, we just gonna keep shutting yall up with these W’s...We all We got We all We need!!!Fly 🦅 Fly!!!

Black Titan Shut up"

Stand your ground! You sound upset boy

How?

What do you mean by that?

Black Titan how hater

jorgelopezjr1991 Hook, line & sinker

Yu would. Like that lol the envy is real Eagles are here for years to come !!

LOL. That IS funny!

Noah Tetreault why would they get sam bradford, if the had him before and he did nothing😂😂😂

Noah Tetreault YOU NEED TO BE DRUG TESTED IMMEDIATELY!!!! SAM BRADFORD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah. Not for $20 mil fucking dollars. Cardinals are crazy. I was thinking 1 year $6 mil. I think Sam would be good as a backup, I’m not saying to start him over Wentz, but he would’ve been a solid insurance policy for the right price.

Charles If a dumbass like you was GM you would get murdered in Philly lol.

Wtf we wouldn’t make playoffs if it wasn’t for wentz

Charles yea get rid of your future for a guy who's never played a full season has never been consistent for long THINK

What a fucking Grade A dumbass. You're the ilk people make fun off for stupid fucking takes on the internet.

That makes no sense at all. Wentz is the future another Roethlisberger who ill get the Eagles some more rings.

Bryan Potter you would be fired.

youmadbro951 LOL

Stay off the Weedddddd

You the GM of the browns???

Trash
