Looks like the Bears are the front runners:

Source is telling me Bears deal for Wentz is close. Foles is speculated to be included with another offensive player and a first rounder. Buckle up.

Yikes. Hard pass if that’s the compensation.

Wow, that would be incredibly stupid. Well, KC traded up from 22 to 10 to get Mahomes, based on the way these QB markets are going, a deal like that to grab Mac Jones might be the best option. Bring Brisket back on a 1 year team friendly deal as vet competition and see if Jones can win the job outright. That's starting to look like the best idea based on these outrageous QB prices.

Also seeing reports that Foles might come to Indy as part of Wentz trade to Bears. Foles would be a perfect veteran placeholder for a rookie QB acquired in a trade up. I hope Ballard likes Mac Jones.

Foles has been terrible everywhere except for his half season magic when he won the superbowl. Now clearly Reich was his co-ordinator back then, but personally I don't want Foles anywhere near a Colts roster.

To me, acquiring Foles would be an indication that they plan to trade up and draft a QB. That would be the only positive to it IMO. I've never thought of Foles as anything more than a journeyman placeholder.

That said, there are no good options at this point. Trades for existing QBs would all yield either aging stars who would be a bandaid similar to Rivers or damaged goods that we'd have to trust that the front office sees something they believe they can fix. The top of the free agent market is Jameis Winston, who falls into the aforementioned damaged goods category. The draft will require a trade up, which will consume next year's 1 as well, and possibly more picks. But if we look at Ballard's most recent team prior to the Colts, they have done pretty well with their trade up for a QB they liked. A similar trade by the Colts may be the best option at this point.

Kinda hopin Carr in Vegas comes available. Might be a good fir for us given all the other options.
