The Kansas City Chiefs will be searching for a new quarterback for 2017, at least in a back-up role, with the report that veteran Nick Foles will likely be released by the team before the new league year, per Mike Garafolo.
Chiefs likely to pass on QB Nick Foles’ option for 2017, making him a free agent-to-be, sources say. Was due $6.4m (not the reported $10.4m)

Foles signed a surprising one-year deal with the Chiefs before the 2017 season when it was clear that John Dorsey wasn’t comfortable rolling with unproven youngsters behind Alex Smith.
