Report: Chiefs likely to move on without Nick Foles
Posted by Josh Alper on February 15, 2017

The Chiefs turned to Nick Foles after starting quarterback Alex Smith suffered a head injury during Week Eight of the 2016 season and Foles turned in a strong outing by going 16-of-22 for 223 yards and two touchdowns.

Foles got a start the next week amid some confusing injury reporting from the Chiefs about whether Smith was in the concussion protocol or not, but he wasn’t able to repeat his play from the previous game. It looks like that will stand as his one and only start in a Chiefs uniform.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Chiefs are likely to pass on their option on Foles’ contract for the 2017 season. Previous reports had pegged his salary at over $10 million, but Garafolo reports he’s actually due $6.4 million. Either way, that’s money the Chiefs will have to spend elsewhere.

Kansas City has Tyler Bray on hand as a backup option to Alex Smith, although it’s a spot they may look to address over the offseason with an eye on Smith’s contract expiring after the 2018 season. As a player with experience in a variety of systems thanks to moving from the Eagles to the Rams and Chiefs, Foles should find a market as at least a backup once he’s free to talk to other teams.

Nooooooooo!!!!!!Kicked him out once no refund.

There's a very good chance he ends up with a two year deal for a QB needy team. Jets seem like an obvious possibility.

Proof that you don't need a compact throwing motion or pinpoint accuracy if you have... uh...

...

...what does Foles do well? I forget.

How the everloving hell did he do what he did his first year in Philly?

Don't worry, Eagles fans are asking the same thing Leg.

Jets or 49ers, maybe Jags backup.

I'll mow my own lawn, thank you.

 

[den-the-coach]

I concur, he should never leave Andy Reid's side.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Nick Foles....

The funny thing is he might even be serviceable with our new coaching staff. Maybe that shows a lot of premature belief in McVay and friends, or take it as an indictment of the Fisher-Schotten-Cignet-Boras Frankenstein offense we ran. Maybe a little of both...

 

[dieterbrock]

Maybe he'll end up in New England after they trade Garapolo

Chiefs officially decline Nick Foles option, making him a free agent

The pool of available quarterbacks just got deeper.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Chiefs just declined their option on Nick Foles, making him a free agent.

This was as expected, since it would have cost them $6.4 million this year and they have Tyler Bray in reserve behind Alex Smith.

It also makes for some interesting options for a guy who at one point played really well for the Eagles.

Things haven’t gone nearly as well since then, but with the money quarterbacks are commanding now, he ought to do well for himself.

I hope the guy gets picked up, he was a decent guy, that was always honest IMO - I'm sure in the right system he'd be a decent QB - he rocked for the Eagles that year.
