Foles a Chief

[Sure-Oz]

@MikeGarafolo: Nick Foles has agreed to terms to join the Chiefs, source says. Reunion with Andy Reid.

@RapSheet: FA QB Nick Foles agreed to terms with the #KCChiefs, per @MikeGarafolo, and I'm told he also had offers from the #Cowboys & #Vikings.

@TerezPaylor: I can confirm reports that the #Chiefs have signed Nick Foles, via a source. Kudos to @MikeGarafolo, who had it first.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Not bad

[RunKC]

Woo!

[Pasta Little Brioni]

He would have started in Denver for sure

Who gets cut?

Bray or Murray?

[BlackOp]

Wow...bye, bye Bray/Murray.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I thought we'd extend Alex Smith. This move puts some heat on that, IMO.

I'd assume Murray gets the boot, Bray third string and Hogan goes to "IR"

[srvy]

Guess this speaks volumes for our backups. I like it just couldnt see us risk what looks like a great season ahead with sub par backups if Smith went down

[BlackOp]

Great move

[DaneMcCloud]

Holy fucking shit

[BigRedChief]

WOW, I didn't think that was possible. I was thinking he would get a starting job.

[BlackOp]

KC's back-up is better than all three of Denver's QBs...ha

[BryanBusby]

Wouldn't shock me if both Bray and Murray were moved

[pugsnotdrugs19]

There had to be a corresponding move just to get the minimum salary, so someone is already gone.

[Ron Swanson]

That is great news, I was really nervous about the backup situation.

[Mr. Laz]

Both? Not going to dump our 3rd round pick already are we?

Kinda disappointed to see Bray go.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

If Smith goes down for the year, you can forget any championship talk IMO right then and there.

But this move is a nice insurance policy if he were to miss a few games or so to keep the team afloat in the meantime.

[eDave]

Dang. When did this develop?

[thabear04]

So who gets cut? Or is Dorsey up late at night calling some GM saying Murray a great backup QB and we trade him for a 5th round. While some how Hogan gets "hurt" after a pre season game and he on IR mean while Bray the 3rd QB spot.

[srvy]

Is this the beginning of Andy doing his famous QB pawn off for a nicely placed draft pick?

[thabear04]

Probably a few hours ago talks about Cowboys and Chiefs were in the hunt for him.

Sure they haven't gone for a 1st rounder yet... but Reid/Dorsey are 10000 times more aggressive with the QB position than Pioli was. They at least throw bodies into the mix.

@AllbrightNFL: Aaron Murray has a dead cap figure of $90k, Tyler Bray has a $0 dead cap figure. #Chiefs

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I'll tell you what Foles is thinking.

He's thinking that IF he gets a chance to play due to injury, this is a damn good team to make him look really good as he auditions for future starting jobs.

Great skill players and running game to lean on, solid OL, and a great defense to back him up.

[Bewbies]

well there's one for sure! Good to know.

He had a year with something like 27 TD's and 3 INT's a few years ago.

He was drafted in Reid's last year in Philly.

[Bufkin]

Not even trolling, Foles is better than Smith. That 27/2 TD/INT season he had a few years ago was out of this world. Him going to the St. Louis dumpster fire doesn't change my mind.

[Sure-Oz]

2013 27 tds 2ints in 13 games.

[DaneMcCloud]

No way, Dude.

Barring Garappolo turning into the second coming of Tom Brady, the Chiefs have the best QB room in the NFL, bar none.

[Gonzo]

Jesus, we had a good backup the last couple years... Now we have a great one.

This guy can have a hot streak like no other. I know he's had some issues with consistency in the past but still... A great backup.

This is a pretty genius move in a way...normally you would think getting some competition would help make everyone stronger..

Alex on the other hand lost his job the last time he had to compete.

This could get interesting

This team is going to be ridiculous in 2016. Not only has Dorsey loaded the roster with talent through the draft, he's never stopped working it in free agency.

I can't even express how excited I am for this team.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Lol at anyone who thinks he's better than Smith already.

Maybe one day that'll prove true, but I highly doubt it.

[Ming the Merciless]

All kidding aside it's really cool we have a solid backup now.

And we have Foles.

[eDave]

Clark going for that St. Louis market. We should get dozens of new fans.

[Chiefspants]

Foles literally had the best QB rating, yards per attempt and yards per completion in the NFL for 2013.

When he's hot, he's in a different stratosphere than Alex "tuck it on 3rd down" Smith. This guy's not afraid to chuck it.

Foles will be a very good backup, most likely even better than Chase Daniel, but he's not going to be the starter unless there's an injury.

Strange choice for Foles. Seems like a starting job would come available soon enough. But whatever, great addition to the Chiefs.

If Foles took less money and came to a small market to compete and really made his decision thinking he could earn a spot...I have a lot of respect for him rather than like going to the Cowboys to take backup money and netflix/chill. I lIke that alot.

Smith was great last year, once we stopped losing. I actually expect him to have a huge year this year.

Alex is still the starter, but Foles' ceiling has already proven to be higher than Smith's.

Smith can still make it deep into the playoffs, but it'll depend on whether or not our defense can become the cast-iron front that Denver's did last January.

They don't have to meet cap compliance until just before the first week of the season so there's plenty of time to make adjustments.

[Chiefshrink]

He would have started in Denver for sure

Exactly !!

2 reasons why the signing. We are a SB caliber team with an above average system QB that can get it done but if he goes down we have nobody with any NFL experience at the QB position to lead the rest of the way. Not good. Foles can hit the ground running. When Foles was released I hoped we would pick him up and YES !! And the 2nd reason to PGM's point you do not want your adversary to improve at QB.

Yes,yes,yes !!!!!!

I don't think people realize how good he was in Philly with Reid when he had decent protection. Now if he has to go in because of injury he will be like a kid in a candy store. He never really had any support around him once Reid left and then Foles left Philly. Felt sorry for the guy because he reminds me of Jim Plunkett type play. He looks ugly playing but he gets the job done and wins.
Solid back up now and Dorsey is able to sleep now.

That was a perfect storm of circumstances in a lot of ways. Cam's waaaaaay overrated QB play along with his waaaaaaaay overrated offense going against a massively underrated but very superior Defense with a superior D coordinator made for an anemic offense to actually survive and win a SB.

CP finds Twilight Zone burst at 12:30 central on Thurs morning in early August. This will help CP traffic. Tonight it felt like the CP of old for the first time in what feels like, years!

[Discuss Thrower]

1) Well, bye Tyler Bray.

2) Two years ish younger than Smith when he was acquired by Kansas City. I find that noteworthy.

3) IMO that buys the front office two-three years to find a QB worth taking in the first three rounds as a potential QBotF prospect and gives them the flexibility to let Smith dangle if he wants an inordinately large contract in the future -assuming, of course, Foles doesn't suck abject shit.

[NJChiefsFan]

Well, Reid and Dorsey continue to show that they know the QB position is as important as it is. Tried trading for Foles previously, traded for Alex, played around keeping Bray, drafted Murray and Hogan...

Maybe none of those guys lead us to the promised land, but they have turned over every rock trying to find a QB. The idea that we would add a QB despite having too many already is just in principal a concept I can't comprehend.

I can't see Hogan being cut, but can they really get him on IR or to the practice squad? I don't see anyway Murray stays on this team. Smith/Foles/Bray with Hogan on the IR or Practice Squad seems like the absolute best case scenario right now.

Can't wait for our first "START NICK FOLES NOW!!!!211!!!!" thread to begin when Alex heads to the sidelines with a 1/2, 5 yds. stat line immediately following an opening 3-and-out vs San Diego.

[Chief Northman]

All I can say is that Dorsey is in win-now mode.

Regardless of how Chiefs fans feel about Alex Smith, everyone with a brain knows the season de-rails if he gets injured long-term. Bringing in Foles gives you enough talent at the #2 spot along with system familiarity to keep a run going and seriously contend.

More horizontal depth added to a solid, solid roster. Great move.

[Chief Northman]

Maybe all the Bray interceptions today sealed the deal.

I've contacted Clutch Gene to see if he can make up a better Foles HL video.

Heh.

Nothing is probably worse than the dumpster fire that was the NE playoff game those last few minutes. I put that more on the offensive coaches TBH.

Nice find.

I loved watching Foles at Arizona - he took a shitkicking playing behind a horrible line and rather talent-devoid team on offense, but he stood in the pocket like a champ and would just let fly. A bigger, stronger-armed, Jeff Hostetler...... tough SOB.

Good veteran backup signing. Foles can get you through a few games if needed. Wouldn't see him sticking around longer than 16' after re-setting his fundamentals under Reid.

For comparative money, I would have rather made a Dwight Freeney deal work to add more pass rush options while Houston is out, but...

All true, nothing wrong at all with the signing... young guy, decent pedigree so far. Andy drafted him, so there's something he likes and he's young.

[mdchiefsfan]

Man, Dorse swept in and sniped Foles from the Cowboys. Couldn't have happened to a better franchise.

My man-crush for Dorsey continues to grow.

[Cheater5]

I go to bed with Foles probably going to the Cowboys for Jerrah's cash.

I wake up and he ran to the comforting, pilllowed arms of Andy Reid.

Life moves pretty fast...

[Mav]

Alex better not let this dude get any playing time in any important games...

This is a pretty genius move in a way...normally you would think getting some competition would help make everyone stronger..

Alex on the other hand lost his job the last time he had to compete.

This could get interesting



Wrong. Alex got injured while playing the best ball of his life.

The reports he was signed to a 1 year deal does point to a win now mode. So Bray or Foles, either one are gone after this year if they do well.

If Alex goes down & Foles tears it up, I am not sure we could sign him even if we cut Alex at that point.

Other than win now, I am not sure this really helps us.

[Red Dawg]

As a back up this is a solid move. If it turns into our next starter when Alex is gone it's terrible. Foles is not good enough. Eagles cut him and Rams let him walk as well.

[Marcellus]

Decent signing I am sure was cheap, hope he never sees the field.

[TRR]

Eagles didn't cut Foles. They traded him for Sam Bradford. He also asked for his release from the Rams.

[BossChief]

This is a nice little wake up present.

With the raw, elite speed and playmaking ability this team has on offense...Foles could shine if given a chance.

Seriously

Hill and Conley are 2 of the absolute fastest players in the league right now. Hill is probably THE fastest. Charles and West can fly. Maclin has wheels. Wilson has wheels. Streater has wheels. Kelce is crazy fast for his size.

Alex is damn good at protecting the ball and playing smart, but Foles would make this offense extremely fun to watch.

[Coochie liquor]

Good to have a proven qb as a backup. But was hoping to see what Bray has also. The best news in the whole thing is he isn't available to Dungver now.

[staylor26]

Just saw that Foles also had 200+ rushing yards and 3 rushing TD's to go along with his 27 TD's in 2013.

That's 30 TD's in 10 1/2 games.

Unbelievable how good he was that year.

I don't think people realize how good he was in Philly with Reid when he had decent protection. Now if he has to go in because of injury he will be like a kid in a candy store. He never really had any support around him once Reid left and then Foles left Philly. Felt sorry for the guy because he reminds me of Jim Plunkett type play. He looks ugly playing but he gets the job done and wins.
Solid back up now and Dorsey is able to sleep now.

I love this signing... I want him to start NOW. To be fair, though...his best days as an Eagle were with Chip Kelly...

If there is a Chief who has some serious good rapport with Nick Foles, it's Jeremy Maclin.

[NJChiefsFan]

.

I disagree a little. While I think Dorsey sees what this team can do, I think he has done an incredible job of balancing this year and the future. He took this opportunity with Foles because it fell in their lap which could be seen as a move only as insurance for this year. He didn't risk the future for it, and if he had to I don't think he would have done it.

I don't see this as pushing the chips in, just never hesitating to add talent, despite it being the QB position. I love that they aren't worried about the other QB's having fragile minds that can't deal with competition.

[Tombstone RJ]

So is this the end of the Bray experiment?

[Coochie liquor]

And somehow Foles made #10 on the ugliest players in league history list. Maybe if Foles hangs with Bray he will get some pussy?

Well, in their defense, the Cowboys were totally idiotic in this. They REALLY needed a good backup with the old and injury prone Romo. Foles practically falls in their lap and they don't grab him. It's a real head scratcher on their part.

All day yesterday on talk radio they kept talking about "I don't understand why Jerry doesn't want Foles."

Plus there's the whole "it's the Cowboys" thing.

[the Talking Can]

I'll tell you what Foles is thinking.

He's thinking that IF he gets a chance to play due to injury, this is a damn good team to make him look really good as he auditions for future starting jobs.

Great skill players and running game to lean on, solid OL, and a great defense to back him up.

and a coach he can trust


love this move, was hoping it would happen...Hogan is the #3 hopefully

maybe we can flip murray for a 6th?...love the churn at QB

and if foles shows anything under reid, you'll be able to get a pick for him later

Eagles didn't cut Foles. They traded him for Sam Bradford. He also asked for his release from the Rams.

That's because after Week 5 last season Foles looked like absolute garbage, Keenum looked adequate, they spent a 3rd on a QB last year, and drafted Goff. He wasn't going to make the roster this season.

Over the course of his last 6 starts, he threw 1 TD to go along with 5 INTs.

Granted, I understand the Rams aren't talented at WR. But that's still piss poor play.

[Frosty]

I was a big fan of Foles in college so I am excited about this move. He was so good his first two years at Arizona and even put up good stats (1st in the PAC12 in yards per game) despite playing on an Arizona team that was absolutely devoid of talent due to injury and poor recruiting. I'm hoping the Chiefs can keep him past this year.

[Sully]

Why?
Agreed

[alpha_omega]

[Red Dawg]

I am a little surprised with all the Foles love on here. I like him as the back up for certain but we should not be hoping he replaces Alex at all. Foles is not a franchise QB.

[BleedingRed]

I see a guy who is MADE for the WCO he has a great arm, and touch.
https://s31.postimg.org/haoed894b/foles.png

First year starting in Philly he was 60%er, 2nd year with Chip Kelly (1st year) he was 64%er, 3rd year (even tho not great) he was 59%er.

The guy in the "RIGHT" system is a 60-65%er easy.

TAKE SPECIAL NOTE

Year 3 (2014) is when Foles lost Desean Jackson, (who isn't respected enough) having that burner type clear out safety deep really opens up the seem and crossing routes.

I get that Foles is more West Coast, but that doesn't excuse his play what so ever. Fisher wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel on offense. He asked Keenum and Foles to do very little. Keenum looked fine, Foles didn't(aside from every game before Green Bay).

This is a Jeff Fisher failure, not a Nick Foles one.

Hell, for a backup QB I'm fine with it. He's had more NFL success than Chase Daniel.

If Alex were to go down this year unexpectedly, you don't want to be throwing a 'rookie' into the mix, for all intents and purposes (yes, Murray and Bray have been here a little bit, but neither has seen live NFL action during the regular season).
