The Chiefs made a significant step toward improving their backup quarterback situation on Wednesday, as they signed veteran Nick Foles, a source confirmed to The Star.
The news was first reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier in the day that Foles was also considering Minnesota and Dallas, and that a decision was expected soon.
The addition of Foles certainly makes sense, given the fact Chiefs coach Andy Reid selected Foles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Foles went on to complete 161 of 265 passes (60.8 percent) for 1,699 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions as a rookie in Reid's final season in Philadelphia.
