The Kansas City Chiefs still don't have a reliable starting quarterback for the 2013 season, a glaring issue that will assuredly be addressed in the coming months. One possibility for Andy Reid and his new team could be to bring in the quarterback he drafted last year out of Arizona, and as Chris Mortensen sees it, the Chiefs would have to give up at least a third-round pick to do so.

For more on the Chiefs offseason, head over to Arrowhead Pride.

Mortensen said on ESPN's "NFL 32" a third-rounder would probably be the going rate to acquire Foles. He seems to believe Kansas City is inclined to head to the bargaining table for the 24-year-old passer.

Clearly the connection between Reid and Foles would be a starting point to these negotiations. He drafted Foles in Round 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft, ultimately supplanting Michael Vick with the rookie quarterback later in the season.

If the Chiefs find a way to bring in Foles, retain Dwayne Bowe and use their No. 1 pick in April for another valuable commodity like Luke Joeckel, we might actually see the beginning of a decent offensive display. Kansas City has plenty of work ahead this offseason.

Well, that won't be the case with the Niners, they want rid of Smith, but I don't want him.
Philly, I gotta believe after they traded for Dixon and re-did Vicks contract that Foles is just not going to be the 'type' of QB Chip wants and once the NFL calendar turns the page Foles will magically be available. I say the deal for Foles to KC gets done. like it or not.

well, in the combine press conference Reid commented that Pioli brough in good QB talent, good enough to win with.

Must be true then.

Did I say that?

He's the one the cited as a source, not me.

You can't selectively pick the parts you like and ignore the rest of the story.

Stop being such a gash.

Dude......Reid is NOT going to let the cat out of the ****ing bag and completely slam the QB's we have on this roster.

Regardless of how bad we all want him to come out and say "I've watched tape, these QB's are garbage and I can't win with any of them", he's just simpley not going to do that. In fact he will do the opposite, and then hopefully send them both packing.

I don't think the Foles trade possibility is really over.

For the record, I kind of liked Foles where he was drafted. But I knew he needed a QB guru to develop. So I didn't want him for the Chiefs who were gonna waste the pick by never developing him. Now with a QB guru at the helm, my feeling is if Reid wants him bad enough, he must feel that his ceiling is high. So if Reid wants him bad enough, I hope a fair trade goes through.

I agree...eagles are just trying to get best value for him. They hold all the leverage.

I'd be okay giving up the 3rd rounder for Foles and drafting Geno #1. Let them battle it out.

I sense you are the only one who is TOTALLY in. I think most of the other Geno band-wagoners look at this as a workable alternative IF, to their chagrin, the Chiefs pass on the Geno. The reason is that even if Reid may not be the most complete HC his eye for a QB is unquestionable. If he sees a high ceiling in Foles then a lot of us who do think about all options instead of blindly obsessing on one are willing to defer to his judgement.

Pretty much so far. Like everything else it can also change. But his resume is pretty strong in that department. I'd take his opinion on QBs over yours 100% of the time.

Minus top 2 picks Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick, Reid's QBs have more INTs than TDs.
