NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo said Foles will sign a four-year, $88 million deal.
Jacksonville offensive coordinator John DeFilippo was the quarterbacks coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Foles and DeFilippo were major factors in leading the Eagles to a 41-33 win against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52.
With Foles leading the way at quarterback in Jacksonville now, Rapoport is reporting the Jags will release Bortles.
