PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles finds his name atop several teams' wish lists, according to multiple reports.

The St. Louis Rams, Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans have interest in the 2013 Pro Bowl selection, if the Eagles decide to trade him, according to NJ.com.

Foles threw 13 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions last season. The quarterback played just eight games before breaking his collarbone.

Eagles coach Chip Kelly would not commit to Foles following his departure.

"The reality is the reality," Kelly told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I can't say, 'Hey, let's not make a decision because I need to see him play 16 more games.' In certain times we're going to have to make decisions, so you have to make it based on what you have. We don't have any control over the injury."

The 26-year-old was drafted by Eagles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

In December, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said that he wants quarterback Sam Bradford back next season, according to the NFL Network.

Foles best year came in 2013, when he tossed 27 touchdowns and just two interceptions, for a quarterback rating of 119.2. Last season his rating plummeted to 79.1, as the quarterback totaled 10 turnovers.

Foles is 14-4 as a starter under Kelly and owns a 61.6 career completion percentage and has thrown 46 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in three seasons.

NJ.com reported that the Eagles "are going to try" to move up in the upcoming NFL Draft to take Oregon quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota.

Mark Sanchez completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 2,418 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions replacing Foles this season.
