Nick Foles took 21 first-team quarterback reps at Eagles OTAs Monday, while Michael Vick received only 15.
Vick had the edge last Monday, getting 21 reps compared to Foles' 16. Matt Barkley has been getting more third-team reps ahead of Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne. The Eagles will distribute quarterback reps in an effort to create at least an illusion of an open competition. We fully expect Vick to win the starting job. May 20 - 3:20 PM

Nick Foles got "significant" first-team reps during Monday's OTAs.

Michael Vick opened up with the first team and the starting gig is clearly his to lose. But coach Chip Kelly isn't going to just hand the job over on a silver platter. "We're just trying to get reps off and trying to get film and look at it," Kelly said. "It's May 13 and we've got a long ways to go before we ever set a depth chart or do anything like that." Matt Barkley and Dennis Dixon did not get any first-team reps.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

Jeremy Maclin says Nick Foles was "sprinkled in" on the first-team offense during Eagles' voluntary workouts.

Coach Chip Kelly has continued to claim Foles is on even footing with Michael Vick, but this — along with everything else — would suggest otherwise. The Eagles didn't give Vick a $3.5 million signing bonus with the intention of him holding a clipboard in 2013. That should be Foles' primary duty.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

The Eagles were reportedly approached by at least one team during the draft regarding a Nick Foles trade.

Per Philly Mag, the Eagles "weren't all that interested in engaging in talks." New coach Chip Kelly has been highly complementary of Foles and GM Howie Roseman personally called Foles amid all the trade speculation to express that the team wanted to keep him. With the oft-injured Michael Vick working on a one-year deal and Matt Barkley a complete unknown, keeping Foles around makes plenty of sense.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

The Philadelphia Daily News projects Nick Foles as the Eagles' Week 1 starting quarterback.

Daily News columnist/reporter Paul Domowitch submitted his Week 1 lineup projection without comment, but he's clearly anticipating Foles beating out Michael Vick and Matt Barkley. While we tentatively still anticipate Vick winning the battle, it's a reminder that the Eagles are in no way committed to any of their QBs for the long term and it will be an open competition in training camp.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

Nick Foles insists that he's a fit for Chip Kelly's offense.

Foles met with the media on Wednesday and seemed a little agitated by questions about his place in Philadelphia. "I wouldn't be right here, right now, if I didn't fit. ... I feel like I can go in and run anything," he said. Questions are going to persist about Kelly's feelings on the lead-footed Foles through the draft, when the Eagles could dangle him in a trade. ESPN's Chris Mortensen has previously suggested that Foles could be had for a third-round pick.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the Eagles did not want to trade QB Nick Foles.

Prior to the Alex Smith trade, Reid reached out to his former employers to inquire about Foles. Either the Eagles' asking price was too high, or they simply didn't want to move him at that point. Regardless, Reid says conversations ended there. We still suspect that Foles is available via trade ahead of April's draft.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

The New York Daily News reports the Jets aren't exploring a trade for Eagles QB Nick Foles "at this point."

Foles has yet to be credibly linked to Gang Green, but it makes sense from a dot-connecting standpoint since he'd be reuniting with OC Marty Mornhinweg. Foles would arguably be an upgrade on Mark Sanchez, but the Eagles' seemingly steep demands make a trade unlikely.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

ESPN's Adam Schefter stated on SportsCenter that the Alex Smith deal "squashes" the notion of a Nick Foles-to-Kansas City trade.

We wonder if Philly overplayed its hand here. The Eagles openly claimed Foles was available only for a first- or second-round pick, despite his obviously poor fit under Chip Kelly. If the Eagles are going to trade Foles -- and Schefter reported that "people around the league" still believe they will -- they may have to settle for a middle-round pick after alienating his likeliest suitor.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

USA Today reports that the Eagles and Chiefs indeed discussed a trade that would send Nick Foles to Kansas City this week.

A source tells USA Today's Mike Garafolo that "no progress has been made," but that obviously is subject to change. The Eagles are reportedly "conveying" to the Chiefs that they plan to keep Foles, likely in order to maintain leverage in future trade negotiations. It's believed Philadelphia would accept a second-day draft pick for Foles. He was the 88th overall pick last April.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

ESPN's Chris Mortensen stated on NFL 32 Thursday that he believes Nick Foles could be acquired for a third-round pick.

Foles-to-Kansas City is the obvious connection because Andy Reid drafted Foles and the Chiefs need a quarterback. (Desperately.) "I do believe there is some substance to the desire to talk to the Eagles about Nick Foles," said Mort. "I think it'd take probably a third-rounder to get Foles. So I wouldn't close the door on that." In an ideal world, the Chiefs could acquire Foles for a third-rounder, re-sign Dwayne Bowe, and perhaps draft Luke Joeckel at No. 1 overall.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

When asked about trading Nick Foles, coach Chip Kelly said, "I want to coach Nick."

Kelly said there have been no trade conversations, but "you're always going to listen." The coach added that he can see Foles running his offense. There's nothing here that we haven't heard yet this offseason. Foles isn't a scheme fit, so look for the Eagles to try dealing him to a quarterback-needy team before the draft.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

A source close to the situation tells the Philadelphia Daily News that the Eagles have "not even discussed" trading Nick Foles, and "want to keep Nick."

We'll believe it when we see it. Foles is not a fit for Chip Kelly's offensive design, and it's incredibly difficult to imagine the Eagles thinking otherwise after they re-signed Michael Vick to a deal worth $7-10 million for 2013. Look for Philly to trade Foles before the draft, targeting someone like Arizona's Matt Scott to develop along with Vick and backup Dennis Dixon.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

The Associated Press reports that the Eagles would want a first- or second-round pick to "even consider" trading Nick Foles.

The AP's story cites an "NFL source," which is clearly in the Eagles organization and using the media in an attempt to create leverage. Foles' trade value is not a first- or second-round pick, and the Eagles know that. But they intend to feign the impression that it is, and that there's "no way" they'd trade Foles without being offered a top-two-round draft pick. We suspect Foles will be traded for a third- or fourth-rounder closer to April's draft. In the meantime, the Eagles will pretend Foles is part of Chip Kelly's long-term plan.

Nick Foles - QB - Eagles

League sources tell CSN Philly the Eagles have "no plans" to trade Nick Foles unless they're "blown away by an offer."

USA Today reported Thursday that Andy Reid wants his former pupil in Kansas City. The CSN Philly report seems to be a team-planted response, as the Eagles are making it clear Foles isn't available for pennies on the dollar. The Eagles also have some leverage because Foles is easy to carry on the roster with cheap base salaries through 2015. We still suspect Foles will end up with the Chiefs if Reid really wants him. Chip Kelly may love Foles' toughness, but his lead feet make him a no-go in the new coach's spread-option offense.
