PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Eagles' fans erupted on social media after the team announced they will let quarterback Nick Foles be a free agent. Howie Roseman, the executive vice president of football operations for the Eagles, made the announcement on Wednesday.
"After a lot of conversation, we think letting him become a free agent is the right thing to do," said Roseman.
Moments later, Eagles fans reacted to the news, many letting the former Super Bowl MVP know how much they appreciate him.
Thank you for everything @NickFoles ! We don't win the Super Bowl or have A 2019 playoff run without you. A class act on and off the field. Good luck in your future! #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/Gl5TwlObDe

And last, but not least there were the fans who expressed not wanting him to go to a rival NFC East team.
Best of luck @NickFoles (please sign anywhere other than the Giants, Redskins, and Cowboys) XOXO, Philadelphia #FlyEaglesFly ????

I really hope we don't see Nick Foles in a Redskins jersey this year. That would be such a slap in the face to Eagles fans

Good luck @NickFoles except if you go to the Redskins, Giants, or play against the Eagles https://t.co/r971tYFCk9
