FA Backup QB's for this upcoming offseason

[Dante84]

• Foles is clearly way to expensive to keep.
  
• Bray has yet to prove he can be a reliable NFL backup.
  
• I doubt we put a rookie in the backup spot - clearly
  QB2 is a position that Dorsey/Reid value highly (see: Daniel & Foles).

Taking all this into account, and assuming the above all transpires, who are some of the Free Agent QB's that we could put behind Smith next year?
___

2/15/17 UPDATE: Per Rotoworld, Chiefs are not expected to pick up Foles $6.4m option.

Furthermore, the Chiefs FO has continued to pound the drum that Alex Smith will be starting this upcoming season.

Updated the OP with the latest news. Figured this thread was relevant now with Free Agency approaching.

Terrible list, but I bolded some of the guys who make me vomit less than the others.

[R Clark]

I'm thinking cousins is the best on that list, I have very limited time watching any of them

That list is simply horrible.

[MahiMike]

Always liked Glennon

[oldman]

If we don't go with Bray as a #2, which of those guys could we get for $5-6M that would be better than Foles? That said, I'm not sorry to see Foles go.

so anyone take a bite on tyrod taylor if he's cut loose?

This. I think he could put up similar numbers to Smith, and maybe even be slightly better.

[Mr. Laz]

How about finally using a guy we drafted as our backup?

You know, like we are really trying to turn him into a starter.

That sounds pretty risky.

Since u need the help, this is what we do to stay relevant, we hit on draft picks, we shuffle out guys in contract years that are older to teams for draft picks like the Patriots do. We then higher our chances of hitting on our picks, and we keep cretain players at reasonable prices, while letting the overpriced not worth it guys go while getting good value from them. We don't and shouldn't draft a qb early until alex smith is 37-38, that way when he retire's at 40, we have a solid 3 years or maybe 4 of rookie contract left in our already poised, and polished qb.

If Alex Smith is a starter here for another 2 years I might have to go into a tower and start shooting people

Wow, you're a ****ing idiot. Wait until Alex is 40? When he's already one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL? Are you ****ing high, or just that ****ing stupid?
