Maybe Foles heard that all football players were required to show up and he didn't think he qualified?

He cashed his check and now he wants to get cut and sign with another team and cash a check worth more then what his base salary is right now.

Sneaky dude. I guess that's just business nowadays in the NFL.

He could demand a trade but the Rams have been trying to unload him, apparently no takers.

These OTA's are voluntary so he's not breaking any rules or incurring any fines...

He's looked like that for years.

Rams QB Nick Foles doesn’t appear for ‘voluntary’ training in Oxnard

OXNARD — The Rams opened the first of their six voluntary organized training activities (OTAs) on Tuesday with one notable, albeit expected, absence.

Quarterback Nick Foles, who lost his job last season to Case Keenum and whose job status grew even more tenuous with the addition of Jared Goff, the first pick overall in April’s draft, was a no-show.

While Foles and his camp haven’t publicly demanded a trade or to be released, their end game is fairly transparent. With the Rams giving Goff every chance to be their opening-day starter and Keenum someone they continually touted as their starter heading into training camp, Foles’ best bet for the future is seemingly with another team.

And with OTAs technically a voluntary part of offseason workouts — meaning he can’t be fined for being absent — it seems highly unlikely Foles will join the Rams over the next two weeks.

According to sources close to the situation, relations between the Rams and Foles appear amicable and respectful. The Rams had discussions during the draft about potentially trading Foles, who earned a $6 million roster bonus in March and whose $1.75 salary for 2016 is fully guaranteed, but a deal was never consummated.

But with quarterback situations always evolving around the NFL, the possibility of moving Foles at some point remains in play. And with three other quarterbacks currently on the roster — Goff, Keenum and second-year prospect Sean Mannion — the Rams could end up releasing Foles outright.

The Rams acquired Foles last offseason in the blockbuster Sam Bradford trade with the Philadelphia Eagles and then rewarded him with a two-year, $24,540,000 contract extension with $13,792,000 guaranteed.

But he was largely ineffective over the first 12 weeks of the season and was ultimately replaced by Keenum in week 12.

For now, he remains property of the Rams. But from a distance.
