"Chicago Bears third string QB Nick Foles isn't happy in Chicago but he's not helping the Bears out in any way. He's blocked at least three trades out of town thanks to his no trade clause but continues to pout around camp. Earlier this week he sent some smoke signals out to the Indianapolis Colts pretty much implying that he would accept a trade there. The Colts are of course in a tough position with Carson Wentz out at least 5-12 weeks after foot surgery and they don't really have any trust worthy backups while Foles already has an established relationship with Colts' head coach Frank Reich. Reich was asked about Foles' recent comments and the idea of him becoming a member of the Colts. "I'll say a couple of things. This is Carson's team first of all. He's our quarterback. We're so excited about having him. He knows that. When we brought him here, we brought him here for one reason. He's going to come in here and lead this football team. I don't mind talking about Nick Foles. I love Nick Foles. He plays for the Chicago Bears. I haven't talked to him, but I think he's a great player. I think he's proven that. I think he's a great teammate - there's nothing about Nick Foles that I don't like. I think he's a winner. He's certainly a guy that fits our kind of culture, but he plays for the Chicago Bears. We're glad we got the guys we've got, and we're focusing on getting our team better, and I'm excited about that and the players that we have."A bit of cryptic message by Reich which half feels like he wants to trade for Foles and half feels like there's zero chance a trade will happen. What do you think of Reich's comments?
