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.

Reid: "We haven't gone through all that. I had him in because he had a fairly significant injury, so we've kind of got to work through that. I've got to see how all that works out."
"...he had a fairly significant injury...""Fairly significant injury" is what jumped out at me. Albert took his physical several weeks ago and it was leaked by his camp that he passed the physical. I noted back then that him passing a physical means very little because there's a huge difference between a team feeling a player is healthy and a team feeling a player is healthy enough to give him $50 million.
Back then, we didn't think Albert's back injury, which cost him time last year, was a big deal. But Reid's words "fairly significant injury" have me wondering about that.
Maybe I'm just reading way too much into this. Maybe. But Reid hardly gives any detailed information out so this jumped out at me.

Reading way too much into that statement from Reid.

Chip Kelly said he isn't trading Foles and that's that. He said he looks forward to seeing him on the practice squad.

Anything the Chiefs do to try to get him would be tampering.

Why should we believe him again?

Right now, that's all Andy Reid CAN say. Otherwise, he's guilty of tampering.

Yup

I agree.

They are in contract negotiation and have said as much...Reid can't say anything good or bad while Dorsey is working on an extension.

Because if he wanted to trade him, he destroyed the value for doing so by closing the door like that. Now, Chip would have to call KC and be like "still interested?"

"sure, for a 5th"

**Pestilence** · 02-22-2013, 09:03 AM

If Foles is going to get traded.....it'll be right before the draft or after the draft. Teams with a high enough pick are going to want to sit down with the QBs and see if any of them fit what they're looking for. If they aren't.....then they can approach the Eagles for Foles.

Why?

Jamaal Charles had arguably his best game of the season behind Donald Stephenson.

NOTHING is more important than getting a QB. NOTHING.

BossChief · 02-22-2013, 09:14 AM

We have three players with left tackle experience.

Albert
Stephenson
Allen

We have total crap at quarterback.

This should be easy.

**Pestilence** · 02-22-2013, 09:19 AM

I've said it before....and I'll say it again. Drafting Joeckel would be a waste of 3 draft picks.

1st overall pick
Donald Stephenson's pick
Brandon Albert's pick

And like BossChief said....you could even include Jeff Allen's pick in there as well.

Sorter · 02-22-2013, 09:22 AM

This man

and this man

officially give a big **** you to Joeckel.
