The Eagles let go of Foles, who was named the most valuable player at the Super Bowl LII , where the team managed to defeat the Patriots. The team has set its eyes on Perez to replace Wentz, who has had difficulty playing due to his injuries.

Pérez signed with the Rams as a non-recruited free agent at the Texas A & M-Commerce last May and spent two weeks with the practice team.

Every player from the Alliance of American Football is authorized to sign with NFL clubs.
