The Philadelphia Eagles will one day have to make an important decision on what to do with backup quarterback and Super Bowl LII hero Nick Foles, and one former executive has given his take on what the team should do.

Former NFL general manager Bill Polian weighed in on the Eagles' quarterback conundrum Monday, suggesting the team shouldn't listen to any trade offers that don't involve two first-round picks and two second-rounders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

It's difficult to imagine the Eagles choosing to continue with Foles over incumbent starter Carson Wentz, so a trade seems to be the only thing in play aside from retaining Foles in a backup role.

An asking price of four high draft picks, two of which in the first round, seems more like Polian making a point than anything else, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Eagles command a significant return for a man who's proven he can lead a team through the utmost adversity.
