Nick Foles & Doug Peterson Speak With Peter King For FOOTBALL MORNING IN AMERICA

Peter King's new Monday morning NFL column "Football Morning in America" debuted today exclusively on NBCSports.com, and included interviews with Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles, who pondered his return to a back-up role after winning MVP in SUPER BOWL LII, and head coach Doug Pederson.

The following are highlights from King's interviews with Foles and Pederson:

• Foles on his potential move to a back-up role: "First time in NFL history, right? First time [for a SUPER BOWL MVP] to be on the bench the next year."
• Foles on his current contract situation and future: "I'm very happy where I'm at. Sometimes, if some team would offer two ones, it might not have been the best fit for me. I would love to enjoy my year in Philly, be a free agent next year-and I know I would love to play my entire career in Philly-but there's something about being a free agent where you can choose where you want to go and the people you want to play for. The great thing about not being traded and being a free agent is you have a choice."
• Pederson on whether he'd bet on Carson Wentz to start Week 1: "I can't say. I don't know now. I can tell you it's not going to be a Doug Pederson decision. It will be a doctors' decision. Carson will have to be 100 percent before he takes the field. I am going to rely totally on my medical staff."

A new "Football Morning in America" will post every Monday morning exclusively on NBCSports.com. It was announced in May that King signed an exclusive agreement with NBC Sports Group that included writing a weekly Monday morning NFL column for NBCSports.com; making regular appearances on NBCSN's and NBC Sports Radio's PFT Live with Mike Florio; and continuing to contribute to Football Night in America, the most-watched studio show in sports.

Beginning July 21, King will resume his popular NFL training camp tour, filing his column from the road each Monday, and providing video or written reports from team to team throughout the preseason. His first stop will be to Chicago Bears camp in Bourbonnais, Illinois.
