Hes got a big arm. Obviously when you have the great offensive line we have and we think were going to have a very solid running game, the thing you worry about is people trying to suffocate you. Hes proven he can get the ball down the field, so hes got a lot of attributes that could fit well for us.A source told ESPNs Adam Schefter that Foles now has a couple options, with one being Dallas, and a decision is likely Wednesday or Thursday. The Minnesota Vikings are also thought to be interested in Foles. Pat Shurmur is the tight ends coach for the Vikings, and he worked with Foles in Philly.The Kansas City Chiefs also are interested in Foles.?At the start of training camp, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Foles was not an option because the team had four quarterbacks on its roster.

We want to get a guy in here sooner rather than later. Im not one of those guys, Are you close? Will it get done by the end of the day? We want to get it done as soon as we possibly can whether thats today, tomorrow or whenever it needs to get done.Foles was among the quarterbacks the Cowboys investigated this offseason, well before he was released by the Los Angeles Rams.
