Eagles Notes: Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie: Nick Foles' future a question for next coach

Perhaps the biggest question surrounding the Eagles entering the offseason is whether Nick Foles can be a starting quarterback. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie said former coach Andy Reid was high on Foles, but the next head coach must determine whether Foles will start.

"Nick has every opportunity, and everyone in the building thinks the world of him in terms of his promise and potential," Lurie said. "This is going to be a decision made by the new head coach, not by the owner."

Foles did not want to reveal where he'll work out during the offseason, but said he will be close to family and will return to Philadelphia for the offseason program. He identified some possibilities for improvement.

"Studying the film, fundamentally, [and] recognizing defenses more," Foles said. "I think it's every little thing you can think about."

GM Howie Roseman praised Foles' potential, but compared Foles to a pitcher who needs to go through the league more than once. Roseman wants to see how Foles will adjust when teams have more film on him.

"We got to make sure we're evaluating the full package of Nick," Roseman said. "He's got a lot of good tools. That and the coach are the most important thing in any franchise."

Jeremy Maclin has one season left on his deal, but the former first-round pick doesn't anticipate signing a contract extension during the offseason.

"If you had to ask me, I don't think a deal's going to be done for next season," Maclin said.

Maclin figured the Eagles have more to worry about than his contract. He understands the risk of playing without a long-term deal, but it could also improve the receiver's stock. Maclin finished with 69 catches for 857 yards and seven touchdowns, but still has not topped 1,000 yards and experienced the standout season many expected when he was drafted.

At 24, though, his best days are still ahead. And a big season in 2013 could raise Maclin's price.

"When the time is right, I'll look at all that stuff," he said. "But right now, that's not what it needs to be."

Roseman said the Eagles have not yet made a decision on whether to keep quarterback Michael Vick for next season. Vick is due $3 million on Feb. 6. . . . Guard Evan Mathis said he'll need to undergo ankle surgery to remove bone spurs, but he should be ready for offseason work. . . . The Eagles signed seven practice-squad players to futures contracts: defensive tackle Ronnie Cameron, tight end Derek Carrier, wide receiver B.J. Cunningham, linebacker Marcus Dowtin, offensive lineman Matt Reynolds, guard Julian Vandervelde, and cornerback Eddie Whitley.
