The Eagles have made it clear Carson Wentz is their quarterback for 2019. But, backup Nick Foles' status with the team continues to remain uncertain.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday the team picked up Foles' 2019 option for $20 million.
The quarterback then bought out the final year of his contract for $2 million, according to ESPN.
Foles will become an unrestricted free agent, according to NFL Network's report, unless the Eagles place the franchise tag on him, which is worth about $25 million.
Sources: #Eagles QB Nick Foles is, in fact, buying back his freedom for $2M, voiding the new and final year of his contract. Now, he’s a free agent... unless Philly hits him with the roughly $25M franchise tag.

Given Foles' late-season heroics the past two years, he should be a hot commodity if he reaches free agency.
Among possible destinations mentioned for Foles are the Jaguars, Dolphins, Broncos, Bengals and Redskins.
