Quarterback Nick Foles will officially retire with the Philadelphia Eagles during their home opener Sept. 16 against the Atlanta Falcons.
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to retire as a Philadelphia Eagle,” the 35-year-old Foles said in a statement released by the Eagles. “The City of Brotherly Love has always felt like home to me as an NFL player. Philadelphia is a city I truly love, and it has been an honor to wear the Eagles jersey.”
Foles played for six teams over 11 seasons in the NFL after being drafted by Philadelphia in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft. He stepped into a starting position with the Eagles in the 2017 season, leading them to Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots.
