The Philadelphia Eagles will honor former quarterback Nick Foles, who last month chose to retire with the team he lead to their first Super Bowl.
Foles, 35, will sign a contract to retire as an Eagle and will serve as honorary captain for the team's Monday Night Football game against the Atlanta Falcons.Foles became a Philadelphia legend when he stepped in for the injured Carson Wentz in the 2017 season and lead the Eagles on an improbable Super Bowl run.
"It was Foles' second tenure in Philadelphia, where he spent the first three seasons of his career after being drafted by the Eagles in the third round of the 2012 draft."To end it this way is the right way, and it means a lot to me," Foles said. Foles, who last played for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2022 season, said Monday will be the first NFL game he has attended as a non-player.
