We need QBs so I'd trade our 5th for Foles. I'd still draft Geno Smith though and after that if we end up with a 3rd round compensitory pick we still have four picks to acquire some talent with early in the draft.

Gonna take more then a 5th. Foles is dirt cheap the next 3 years.

Well it is the 1st pick of the 5th round so there is that. We could always add on a concitional draft pick in the 2014 draft if need be.

Out of curiosity who else would actually be a good fit for Foles? Who really wants him that the EAgles will have any leverage in the deal? Foles doesn't seem to fit Kelly's offense so in the end what are they going to do with him? He may come cheaper then we think.

so foles is this franchise QB we can acquire because they don't need one having signed Dennis Dixon?

If he was something special, Kelly would find a way to make him work.

No Foles is the backup and emergancy starter if Geno ends up not being ready day one. Ha ha. He'll be ready but Foles will also help with that because he knows the offense.

Exactly.

He's not worth anything more than a 5th.

Chiefs interested in trading for Nick Foles

Story Highlights

Chiefs coach Andy Reid drafted Foles for Philadelphia in 2012

While the Philadelphia Eagles continue to see Nick Foles as an option to be their quarterback this upcoming season, the reality is the team now has two quarterbacks more fitted to run Chip Kelly's system.

The Eagles signed free-agent Dennis Dixon on Thursday. Dixon played under Kelly at Oregon in 2007 when Kelly was the offensive coordinator.

So it's in the realm of possibility Foles could be traded. And if so, the Kansas City Chiefs could be the destination.

The Chiefs and new coach Andy Reid are interested in acquiring Foles if he becomes available, according to a person informed of the team's thinking. The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs haven't discussed their thoughts on their roster publicly, said the team is working on plans to add a quarterback and considers Foles a possibility.

Kelly has said Foles and Michael Vick would compete for the starting job and that both could run a similar system, despite their differences in style. The person informed of the Chiefs' plans said the Eagles have not told Kansas City that Foles is available to this point.

But if the Eagles decide Vick is their best option, it makes sense to deal Foles. In seven games under Reid this past season, Foles showed flashes of being a successful NFL quarterback by throwing for 1,699 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions.

Foles led a last-minute comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. It was the only victory in Reid's final 12 games as Eagles coach. Reid's elation on the sideline after Foles' game-winning TD pass showed how thrilled he was with the performance.

Former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah, now an NFL.com analyst, reported Reid and Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, an assistant coach with the Eagles under Reid, "were very high on Nick Foles and his future."

The Chiefs have the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, but the class of quarterbacks is generally not considered strong.

The Chiefs will likely release veteran Matt Cassel unless he takes a pay cut from his $7.5 million base salary for 2013 -- and it's unclear if they'll even offer that option. The team's best chance at getting Reid a reliable signal caller will be in free agency or the trade market.

San Francisco 49ers backup Alex Smith has also been mentioned as a possibility.

What?

Let me guess: The Chiefs swap their first for the Eagles #4 overall, Foles and a 3rd rounder in 2014.

WELL IT'S DAMN SURE BETTER THAN TAKING THAT BUST GENO RIGHT DANE?

Worrisome. You don't trade draft picks for a player you intend to be a backup.
