Shad Khan has one of the best mustaches out there.

He owns the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham F.C. and his net worth is $7 billion, which isn’t bad. Not bad at all.

Khan spoke this week and said this about Nick Foles, via ESPN:

“I can tell you this, categorically, that as soon as the season was over, our dream was to get Nick Foles for all the different reasons that have been elaborated before, and it happened,” Khan said Thursday after the franchise’s annual state of the franchise presentation. “I think that’s a critical part that we have addressed.

“… Yes, we wanted to do whatever to get Nick here.”

So they gave him four years at $91 million, with 50 guaranteed. The Eagles couldn’t do that, not unless they wanted to trade Carson Wentz, and a pretty sizable chunk of Eagles fans preferred that course of action.

Said Khan of Blake Bortles, after the jump:

“I’m still a Blake fan,” Khan said. “He’s a great guy. I think he did his best, and a year ago [2017] we had great results. To us, we wanted it to work out. I’m sure that so did Blake. I wish him all the best in the future; he deserves it. I think for us, now we have to move on, and he [Foles] was the best one out there.”

That’s true. Foles was the best QB on the market.

Anyway, just thought some of y’all would find that first quote interesting.
