FA Backup QB's for this upcoming offseason
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. Last edited by Dante84; 02-15-2017 at 11:57 AM.. |

I know he won't stay, but some teams have found solutions at QB.
Mariota Winston Dak Wentz Goff-looks bad but they're not going to guarantee a start to Foles That's almost 20% of the league that has fixed their QB problems in 2 years He'll get a gig but the market may be softening on those guys. |

I'm guessing the Chiefs will turn that into a signing bonus. $11M spread over 3 years is a fair price for a backup of Foles' calibre.

Foles could agree to a smaller deal to stay.

They need to invest into the position high in the draft.
This team has TONS of young talent that's not going to stay cheap forever...to keep them together for as long as possible, they need to be able to get a QB on the cheap for 5 years, not continue to overspend on the position. |

I think the restructure foles, giving him the idea that Alex is winding down he's had time in the system, and the job could become his. All the while dorsey looking for a quarterback in the draft.

We would be fools not to invest in Foles. He's not going to get starter money but he can be a well paid back up. I also think he knows Kansas City might be the best place for him. Let's not forget Alex is in his early thirties. We also need to invest a high draft pick in the position.

Yup. And not just any QB. A first round QB unless there's a really, really good reason not to.

It doesn't have to be a first rounder. Now if the right guy is there and the board says QB by all means pull the trigger. I just think you always take the best talent in the first round and don't blink an eye |

At Alex's age, I would do it. I would overdraft a QB every year if it meant making sure we were continually giving talented guys a tryout. I believe in going with top of board. But QB is the rare position where i'd put the guy a few points higher if he had even a little bit of potential.
