The Eagles may replace Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles with another veteran quarterback to serve behind Carson Wentz.

The team will pursue veteran quarterbacks in free agency later this month, a person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media.

Foles is set to hit the free agent market after the Eagles decided not to place the franchise tag on him. Third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld will become a restricted free agent if he receives a tender offer from the Eagles before the start of the league year.

Executive Vice President of Football Operations Howie Roseman failed to anoint Sudfeld as Foles’ heir apparent while speaking to media at the NFL Combine on Wednesday.

“We have a lot of confidence in Nate,” Roseman said. “He’s had an incredible opportunity to learn from two of the best quarterbacks in the national football league and this is a big opportunity for him and a big year for him.”

The Eagles will have plenty of veteran options to pair with Wentz next season. While the Eagles may still retain Sudfeld, the team will pursue an experienced signal-caller to compete for the backup job.

Teddy Bridgewater, Tyrod Taylor and Josh McCown are the top impending free agent quarterbacks behind Foles. Of the trio, Taylor offers the most similar skillset to Wentz.

Sudfeld, who has appeared in just three games, has completed 20-of-25 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. While he has shown his potential in limited action, the Eagles could benefit from a proven commodity in case Wentz were to suffer an injury for a third-straight season.

“Nate’s done a great job,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. “He’s put himself in a position to compete for it. We don’t just go around handing out jobs. We want him to compete for a spot. We feel like he’s earned the opportunity to do that. I’m comfortable with him, what he’s done. He’s been with us now for a few years and he understands our system so it’s a matter of him just embracing that and moving forward.”

NFL free agency begins on March 13 at 4 p.m. ET. The Eagles also have until that time to extend a qualifying offer to Sudfeld.
