Nick Foles is reportedly in talks to sign with the Indianapolis Colts as the backup to starting quarterback Matt Ryan. NFL fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the quarterback possibly signing with the Colts.

A Philadelphia Eagles fan commented that former Colts quarterback and current Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz gets replaced by Foles yet again.

When Wentz tore his ACL in the 2017 season with the Eagles, Foles stepped in and led Philadelphia to the Super Bowl that season. They defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52.

Another Eagles fan said that he'll work out better with the Colts than Wentz did:

The quarterback was drafted by the Eagles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. His first stint with Philadelphia lasted three seasons (2012 - 2014). The quarterback signed a two-year deal with the St. Louis Rams in 2015, starting 11 games.

In his lone season with the Rams, he threw for 2,052 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. After spending one season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016, he returned to the Eagles for the 2017 season.

The signal-caller took over for Wentz that season, winning Super Bowl 52 and was the game's MVP. He threw for 373 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in the game.

Foles signed a four-year, $88 million-dollar deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars in March 2019 but started just four games for the team. He suffered a broken left clavicle in his shoulder in Week One of the 2019 season versus the Chiefs.

The quarterback was traded to the Chicago Bears in March 2020, where he started eight games in two seasons with the team. Chicago cut the signal-caller this offseason, and the 33-year-old could find a new home in Indianapolis.

He'd be reunited with Frank Reich, who was the Eagles' offensive coordinator for two seasons (2016 - 2017).
