NFL.com insider Ian Rapoport reports that 'just under $14 million' will be guaranteed for Foles.
Foles, 26, was traded to the Rams this offseason, along with a 2015 4th round pick and a 2016 2nd round pick, in exchange for quarterback Sam Bradford, a 2015 5th round pick, and a conditional 2016 pick.
Over three seasons, 28 games, and 24 starts under center in midnight green, Foles compiled a 15-9 quarterback record, and threw for 6,753 yards and 46 touchdowns over 893 attempts.
In 2013, the Austin, Texas-native set the league-wide record in single-game touchdown passes (7), touchdown-to-interception ratio (27:2), and passer rating in a calendar month (152.8).
Foles is set to earn a base salary of $1.522 million this season under the helm of the Super Bowl XXXIV champions.
