3 veteran options for Chiefs to consider at backup quarterback

Shortly after winning Super Bowl LVII, the Kansas City Chiefs' 37-year-old backup quarterback, Chad Henne, announced his retirement.

Henne had grown into a folk hero in Kansas City for stepping up whenever his number was called. None was more important or memorable than when Henne stepped in for reigning NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Divisional Round game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, leading the Chiefs on a 12-play, 98-yard drive capped off by a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce.
