Chiefs sign Chad Henne

[Simplicity]

Chiefs are signing Chad Henne to a two year deal, a source confirms. @MikeGarafolo had it first
-@TerezPaylor

[KCrockaholic]

Meh. Ok.

[Otter]

There's the #2! Wonder who the Chiefs are going to draft? It's do or die with Pat next year.

[gblowfish]

Another Michigan QB? I'm having Elvis night sweats...

[Randallflagg]

Well, now we know.....

[Easy 6]

Perfectly fine with this, he can win 2 of 4 or so if Pat goes down for a short span

[rico]

Well, ok then.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they went the UDFA route...but or maybe like a 6th or 7th rounder...just a wild guess.

[BigCatDaddy]

I am going to give him every Alexcuse to this point in his career and hope Andy can work his magic if PM2 misses a game or so with an injury.

No, a Chief.

Good signing. They needed to fill this position badly. Hope he never sees the field, outside of preseason. Now lets get a NT.

I just want a guy that can help Mahomes learn, fine with Henne.

[carcosa]

HEL YA!!!!!!

[Coochie liquor]

You just know Pats first int and the fans will start yelling for Henne...



I kid, I kid

[gblowfish]

He kind of reminds me of Todd Collins playing behind Green.

[Mr. Wizard]

I just looked up Chad Henne highlights on YouTube............... there weren't any.

Who gives a shit if it's embedded? It doesn't change the information.

[Hammock Parties]

Reckless.

[ModSocks]

I keep getting Chad Henne and Drew Henson mixed up.

[alpha_omega]

Probably about the best we could have done at this point. I'll take it.

[raybec 4]

I keep getting Chad Henne and Drew Henson mixed up.

I get Drew Stanton and Drew Henson mixed up

[Simply Red]

I'd have soft passed, not that happy about this. But at the same time - it's not the end of the world. Bring on the Badger!

[Gravedigger]

I tried looking up Chad Henne Highlights on YouTube.... there's not alot....

[BigRedChief]

Oh welllll..... if Mahomes goes down we are screwed anyway. l don’t think paying $7 million to Chase Daniels would have changed that. Our eggs are in the Mahomes basket for the good and bad.

[FloridaMan88]

I tried looking up Chad Henne Highlights on YouTube.... there's not alot....

Look up Appalachian State highlights, circa September 2007.

[ptlyon]

I just looked up Chad Henne highlights on YouTube............... there weren't any.

The hidden touchdowns will be amazing...

[srvy]

Yuk but I guess its best we could dig out of the landfill.

[tyreekthefreak]

Yeah, if PM goes down we are screwed..........personally I would have paid Bray with his big arm versus Henne and his noodle arm. Wait til preseason and you will see what Henne offers.........hope I'm wrong but.......

[MahiMike]

These career backup Qbs have it made. Henne is garbage. Bortles owes him a cut of his new deal. They gave the job to hennein preseason and he lasted about a half a game.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I think I’d draft a QB later on for sure. Someone who might be able to beat Henne out and serve as a cheap backup for 4 years.

We’ll see.

[oldman]

Y..personally I would have paid Bray with his big arm versus Henne and his noodle arm.

But Henne can successfully complete a handoff. Just sayin'.

[rabblerouser]

But Henne can successfully complete a handoff. Just sayin'.

Yeah, you gotta be able to take the snap, complete the handoff, AND complete passes.

Bray has never shown an aptitude for any of that.

Henne is cheap. He can win a game or two while we rest Mahomes for Home Field Advantage

[Jerok]

I'm just glad we have a backup quarterback. Really didn't care who. I mean, when was the last time a backup QB won the superbowl? It's been almost a month. That's years in the NFL. Years.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Was Steve DeBerg not available?

[Pitt Gorilla]

I get Drew Stanton and Drew Henson mixed upPretty sure all three are the same guy.

This is really the only dumb thing the Chiefs have done this off season thus far.

[Hammock Parties]

This is really the only dumb thing the Chiefs have done this off season thus far.

Backup QB is important.

Good signing.

[DaFace]

There was a time when you could debate if Chad Henne or Case Keenum was the better QB, so it's kind of fun that our backup QB isn't THAT much worse than the Broncos starter.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Here’s a video of Henne working a half with the Jags starters last preseason against a good Panthers defense https://youtu.be/Zmk1EdY7flg

He checked down a lot, but also made a couple of really nice deep throws. Might be why we wanted him.

[cabletech94]

well slap my ass and call me charlie.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Eh. The team needed a cheap backup. He is pretty much the same as Case Keenum, but 20 times less expensive ROFL

[Iconic]

Was hoping they'd either get someone with potential or a guy who's more of a mentor. Henne is just the definition of meh and brings nothing significant to the table.

[DaneMcCloud]

Who would you have signed instead?

[Mecca]

Colin Kaepernick! LOL

[Chiefshrink]

There's the #2! Wonder who the Chiefs are going to draft? It's do or die with Pat next year.

Didn't know anything about this kid "Logan Woodside" from Toledo but when I watched this year's combine of Qbs I couldn't help but notice this kid who kept standing out. Not only how strong his arm is but amazingly accurate and very athletic. He is very Mahomesque when you watch this 2017 highlights vid. I am sure Kareem Hunt could tell you all about him.;)

[Chiefs=Champions]

I actually like Henne as a 2. Think he will do well in our system.

you could have at least posted some stats about the guy if you are going to go off topic from henne's awesomeness :thumb:

[Chiefshrink]

Do your own homework, it's as easy as point and click:p I really didn't go off topic. Just conversing with Otter about his comment i.e. to a potential 3rd QB that might be drafted at the b/u spot.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

I have seen enough Chiefs become Fins. This is a bit of a
surprise

[Iconic]

Who would you have signed instead?

Geno, EJ, Moore

[Hoover]

Watch Bray lead the Bears to the Super Bowl this year... FU@K!

[kysirsoze]

Colin Kaepernick! LOL

This is a punchline around here, but I would have been as excited as I could possibly be for a backup QB signing.

[BigRedChief]

People are going to whine about everything. Geeezzzz. We need lots of help on defense. You want to spend money on a better backup QB? Who would that be? Would they save our season if Mahomes goes down?

Draft a backup? WTF?

It’s the only position we should all agree that we can go cheap at least this year.

[KCCHIEFS27]

It's a good thing to know that even if Mahomes goes down the Chiefs will still have the #1 offense

[BigRedChief]

Geno, EJ, Moorenone of those guys save our season if Mahomes goes down.

[Chiefshrink]

none of those guys save our season if Mahomes goes down.

I think he was being sarcastic.

[Eleazar]

Or nail clippers?

ROFL photo stolen from google images. Those mitts are not mine.

[BigCatDaddy]

Who would you have signed instead?

Im not dieing on that hill but Austin Davis is interesting. Had an ok season as a 25 year old under Jeff QB killa Fisher. Not really given much of a fair shake since. 3 starts with the Browns? But yeah, it is backup QB. Nothing to lose your shit over.

[NJChiefsFan]

Was hoping they'd either get someone with potential or a guy who's more of a mentor. Henne is just the definition of meh and brings nothing significant to the table.

I don't really mind this. In the short-term, having a vet for Mahomes is a good thing. Can always draft a late high-upside QB in this or the next few drafts.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Former #Jaguars backup QB Chad Henne, who visited #Titans, signed w/ #Chiefs for 2 years, $6.7M, not incl performance incentives & escalators, per source. $3.1M signing bonus, $1.015 base in 2018, $2.5M base ($1M gtd) in 2019, plus workout bonuses. Essentially 1-year, $5.15M gtd.

[Rausch]

I like it.

If Mahomes get hurt we have Alex Smith Jr. in the fold...

With how retarded backup QB contracts are getting that's not bad.

[Molitoth]

I haven't put a lot of thought into it, but I would have rather had Bridgewater.

[Sassy Squatch]

Dude got a 1 year 15 million deal. Fuck that.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He got $15M and a chance to start...

[DaneMcCloud]

I haven't put a lot of thought into it, but I would have rather had Bridgewater.

Bridgewater wants to be a starter and that isn't happening in KC, which is why he chose the Jets.

[DaneMcCloud]

Dude got a 1 year 15 million deal. Fuck that.

Base of $5 million with incentives up to $15 million.

Knowing the Jets, they're not going to allow him to hit all of those incentives.

[Sassy Squatch]

Base of $5 million with incentives up to $15 million.

Knowing the Jets, they're not going to allow him to hit all of those incentives.
Highly doubt he signs the same deal here. He'd never even sniff the money unless Mahomes got hurt.

[Rausch]

I haven't put a lot of thought into it, but I would have rather had Bridgewater.

He was gone a week ago...

[Rausch]

With how retarded backup QB contracts are getting that's not bad.

It's a fucking steal...

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I posted the video earlier in the thread yesterday but if you watch the Henne snaps with Jacksonville’s starters last preseason against Carolina, you see why they wanted him. Threw a couple of really pretty deep balls.

He's a slow learner (in the NFL) but a legit game manager as he goes on.

He's got some pimp in his walk, I promise you...

From a conference call today:

Chad Henne intends to help Patrick Mahomes become “the most prepared quarterback in the league." - @pgsween

[notorious]

Reid will build Henne up, he will play well during spot duty, and the Chiefs will trade him for picks.

Nice work.

[ptlyon]

If he plays we've got a major problem

[notorious]

13-1 with home field wrapped up.......

:)

[King_Chief_Fan]

yes....Chiefs need to keep looking for #2....Henne might be o.k. for #3

get out of town....Smith already did that.
Mahomes will teach Henne what he SHOULD have done to be a QB.

[saphojunkie]

get out of town....Smith already did that.
Mahomes will teach Henne what he SHOULD have done to be a QB.

It's super valuable to have another set of veteran eyes in the QB room. Guys who have years of prep listening to coaches dissect defenses, schemes, and players. "When you play this team, you always have to watch 26 - he baits you into that deep out and jumps it. watch.."

Side note:

Notice how whenever anyone talks about Alex Smith and how good it was for Mahomes to sit behind him for a year, they always talk about preparation? It's "he really learned how to prepare, how to be a pro, how to be a leader in the locker room."

Not on fucking word is ever mentioned about Mahomes learning anything from alex ON THE FIELD. It's all the week leading up.

Sundays are going to be fun as shit this year.

You can't be serious...

[Rausch]

ALL THIS.

I think he's a guy you can build up and can go 2-2 over a 4 game stretch should there be an injury.

He won't save or sink your season...

[thegame214]

THIS game is why we signed Henne. Imagine all the intel he has.

[Titty Meat]

Hennething can happen

[thegame214]

He for real though probably has some valuable info :)
