Nick Foles broken collarbone could be the perfect excuse for the Philadelphia Eagles to part ways with Foles after this season.

According to NJ.com, If Mark Sanchez meets coach Chip Kelly’s high expectations, Foles’ days as the Phildelphia Eagles’ quarterback are numbered.

Sources with knowledge of the Eagles’ plans, say Foles’ long-term Philadelphia future was already in doubt prior to the injury.

“I think (general manager Howie Roseman) is looking at quarterbacks,” a league source told NJ.com. “He’s kind of soured on Foles, and I don’t think he’s alone. The organization isn’t sold that he’s the guy going forward.”

Foles production has not resembled the lofty numbers he put up last season. Last season Foles threw 27 touchdown passes to just two interceptions, while completing 64 percent of his passes and a league-high quarterback rating of 119.2.

This season, in eight starts Foles has thrown 13 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions with a quarterback rating of 81.

Foles was drafted by Andy Reid and a regime no longer in Philadelphia. In Foles defense, Roseman reportedly preferred Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins over the Arizona product during the 2012 draft.

I’m not sure Cousins would have worked out either.

Foles was on schedule to be the next quarterback to received a big time extension. That could all change now.

“Let’s just say the way things were going, he wasn’t going to get a contract extension that’s for sure,” another source told NJ.com before Foles’ injury. “Now, if he has a big second half, that could change.’
