Chiefs Article: Chiefs Most Likely Landing Spot for Foles - Page 17

Now that Vick has re-signed with Philly, it makes sense that this stuff would start coming out given the Reid/Foles connection.

Chiefs a logical landing spot if Nick Foles is dealt

Chip Kelly said Monday it was his "hope" the Philadelphia Eagles will have both Michael Vick and Nick Foles on the roster come Week 1.

Kelly called it an "open competition" at quarterback and stressed that Foles was kept in the loop on the Eagles' thinking in restructuring Vick's deal. It certainly doesn't sound like the Eagles are about to ship Foles out of town.

That said, Kelly didn't rule out a possible trade. Around The League checked in with NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, who served as the Eagles' west coast scout from 2010-12. Jeremiah doesn't know the Eagles' internal thinking on the matter, but he pointed to the Kansas City Chiefs as a potential trade fit.

The logic is simple: Andy Reid took over as head coach of the Chiefs last month after 14 seasons in Philadelphia. His staff includes Doug Pederson, the former Eagles' quarterbacks coach who now serves as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator. Foles' skill-set is ideally suited for the West Coast offense, and he spent his rookie season learning the Reid playbook in Philadelphia.

"I know both Andy Reid and Doug Pederson were very high on Nick Foles and his future," Jeremiah said. "They were huge supporters through the entire process and believe in him greatly.

"I would think they would explore that opportunity if it presented itself."

Reid and Pederson love Foles' size and accuracy, two traits they covet at the position. And while we don't imagine the Eagles would bend over backwards to help Reid, it certainly helps that the divorce between coach and team was largely amicable. That Reid now operates in a different conference doesn't hurt, either.

Kelly said Monday that every NFL team needs two quarterbacks. There's logic to that, especially when Vick is one of them. But if Reid wanted Foles enough, the Eagles would have to at least listen.

So no, the odds are not in Geno Smith's favor.

I made a joke in another thread and Clay, as usual, acted as if his dick was pulled out his asshole.

Seriously, you guys and your "Do or Die" bullshit need to lighten the **** up.

On Mike & Mike both guys pretty much guaranteed that the chiefs will trade for Foles.

Just like Alex Smith was a lock for KC. They're just running through the lists to have something to talk about on the air.

jspchief · 02-15-2013, 07:16 AM

Philly would have little incentive to get rid of Foles unless they got above market value in trade. They need a viable backup if they are trotting Vick out as the starter. How would they improve over Foles?

lcarus · 02-15-2013, 11:16 AM

I hope to God we don't get Foles. If we do, I guess we're just cursed to keep getting coaches/GMs that come in here and just trade or sign for their backup from their old team. **** that. Sadly, the only time we've tried to draft a QB and give him a legit shot to be the guy was Herman ****ing Edwards/Carl ****ing Peterson. Yeah Croyle failed hard, but at least they tried doing the correct thing.

Pasta Little Brioni · 02-15-2013, 11:17 AM

There is a reason teams have given us all their leftover QB's over the years...One less team to worry about.

Maybe it was smart. I know at the time, though, everybody said they were crazy for bringing in another QB in the 4th round like that.

Now some Chiefs fans want to use a 1st and a THIRD round pick (and a high one at that) to get our franchise guy and back up.

This shit has to end somewhere, guys. They're BACKUPS for ****'s sake

This. The benefit they got was an exception, not a norm.

Cardinals have already tried the Eagles back-up route.

I could live with that.

If Foles is with the Chiefs, it's an indication that Reid thinks highly of him and will give him a solid chance to start. I don't think Reid would want him as a back up. I think he may have seen something in the kid during his starts last year.

If the Chiefs do something like this, they better get Foles, the Eagles' 2nd pick this year (540 points) and a conditional 2nd or 3rd next year (and maybe even a later round pick this year) or they are leaving too much value on the table.

Technically true. But realistically they won't get that much. I hear draft charts are no longer the drafting bible.

They are trying to increase his value. Just posturing. I think they want to trade him. He is simply not a Chip Kelly type QB.

If he doesn't fit the Chip Kelly system he's basically useless to them. That's a pretty good incentive to trade him.

**Easy 6** · 02-15-2013, 12:46 PM

A short article in todays USA Today says that while nothing is "in the works" yet, a source familiar with KC's thinking says they are very much interested in Foles.

Dont shoot the messenger...

Foles is not one of those cases.
