In his first season as acting general manager, Eagles coach Chip Kelly has filled his quota for strange moves. First he traded LeSean McCoy then followed it up with not publicly executing Bradley Fletcher. His latest move might be the strangest as he has apparently sent quarterback Nick Foles to the St. Louis Rams for a mystery bag.
“What’s in the mystery bag?” Kelly asked in rhetorical fashion. “It could be anything. That’s what makes the choice so much fun! Yooo Philly!”
The decision to go with an unknown over Foles does not sit well with many fans. They would have rather failed with Foles than open up the mystery bag and find a carrot inside – which by the way, Vegas has as the odds on favorite to be inside due to its smell and carrot-like shape.
Foles is out and the mystery bag is in. For Kelly’s sake, he better hope it’s a quarterback, running back, or a defensive player at any position. You know, the positions they need to improve at.
