Although many signs point for former Philadelphia Eagles backup-turned-Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, a person familiar with the situation expressed caution when asked about such a union.

Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks, a person told USA TODAY Sports that Jacksonville does indeed have strong interest in Foles. However, a handful of other teams also have inquired about the quarterback’s services.

The Jaguars and Foles’ camp haven’t yet engaged in contract discussions, and neither has any other potential suitor.

Multiple outlets reported during the weekend that Foles will soon sign with Jacksonville. However, while speaking to USA TODAY Sports, the person called such reports premature.

The Jaguars still have Blake Bortles under contract, but are expected to release him. Jacksonville has a strong defense, but mediocre quarterback play and limited play-makers on offense represented a stumbling block for the franchise. It’s believed that Foles can help elevate the Jaguars.

However, Jacksonville could face competition from Miami, Washington and possibly the New York Giants.

Foles is the top free agent quarterback on the market after the Eagles announced last week that they will not use the franchise tag in an attempt to retain his rights and trade him.

The team had exercised the option on his contract, but Foles bought back his freedom. Philly could have then used the tag in an attempt to receive compensation for the quarterback, but instead, they will let the Super Bowl LII MVP walk.
