If you had "no way is Connor Halliday actually walking away from football forever" in the betting pool, it looks like you win!

Connor Halliday appears ready to resume his quest to become a professional quarterback by trying out with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a report from Cougfan.com.

Halliday mysteriously "retired" from football back in May after abruptly leaving Washington D.C., where he was scheduled to begin his career as an undrafted free agent with the NFL team there. While it seemed hard to believe at the time that he could be totally recovered from his awful broken leg and still just give up the game, Halliday offered no explanation, and Mike Leach even said at Pac-12 media days that Halliday really had just walked away.

Whatever was going on then -- was he burned out? not fully recovered? suddenly offended by Washington's mascot? -- it appears to be resolved now. And to be honest, there are fewer places in the NFL that could be better for Halliday to land than Kansas City, where Andy Reid is a great for young quarterbacks. (The same cannot be said for Daniel Snyder's franchise.)

There's virtually no chance he can make the active roster with Chase Daniel and draft pick Aaron Murray backing up Alex Smith, so the practice squad seems the likely destination if Halliday can catch Reid's eye.

The Cougfan story notes that Halliday also is exploring CFL options; I'm not sure how that works, since they're already midway through their season, which ends in November.

However this works out, I'm really excited to see Halliday giving it a go. He left WSU as the school record holder in career yards, touchdowns, completions and attempts, and after all his hard work -- both to develop as a quarterback and to recover from the broken leg -- to not give pursuing the NFL a serious shot just seemed like a shame. I'll be rooting hard for him.

WHO?

[BigChiefFan]

I'd say that means Tyler Bray's days are nearing an end as a Chief.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

ok.

"Halliday, signed by former head coach Paul Wulff, is not the typical Mike Leach quarterback. The lanky 6-foot-4, 198-pounder has a live arm and loves to show it off, attempting more challenging passes than the simple dump-offs so common in most spread attacks. "

Not a noodle-arm.

I like.

[ptlyon]

Did he bag groceries? If so, sign that bastard.

[Frosty]

Meh

[Titty Meat]

Cut Bray out this guy on the PS. Don't think Murray is all that either.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

And why would we be looking at another QB if we already are carrying 4 and expecting to cut 1?

Trade DanielS?

[Mr. Laz]

where Andy Reid is a great for young quarterbacks.
so far i can't tell

[Discuss Thrower]

Nobody is getting traded.

Not happening. Bray will more than likely go on IR and this kid will have a shot at making the PS.

So this team is going to be carrying 5 QBs in one way or another?


...I don't see it.

He'd have to remove the 9 and move it over.....which would leave a shadow where the 9 used to be.

He is featured on the tv show the Agent. I saw it on CNBC the other night.

FINALLY!!!
How many "prospects" will this team go through?

[Kman34]

Big wind-up throwing motion...I bet Andy sends him down the road....

[DaFace]

People around here sure do love to pin their hopes on practice squad level quarterbacks.

And white guys who Instagram their box jumps.

[Beef Supreme]

We don't have a real quarterback, but we did sign a Halliday Inn express last night.

[lewdog]

A piece of trash from Washington State. Do not want.

Slut.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Fuck this.

[ChiefGator]

Well, I do like to see the front office keeping busy and kicking every tire. Do other teams do the same large quantity of tryouts that we have under Dorsey?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

When is this shit suppose to happen?

I need a new jersey...

[CleveSteve]

Half say why waste time. Other half at least kicking tires.

Shit beside 3-5 QBs there is a drought.

Turn over all the rocks Dorsey.

Reid hasn't only given Aaron Murray a single pass attempt this preseason. If Reid isn't going to try and develop the QB's we have then why in the fuck bring in more?

If Reid has given up on the ones we have then cut them and move on already.

You say that like the only way you develop QB's is to play them in the preseason. Practice is there for a reason, you know.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Do did this fucker leave town already?

Do-da, do-da?
