Chiefs to decline Nick Foles' option

The Kansas City Chiefs plan to decline Nick Foles option for the 2017 season, which will make the quarterback an unrestricted free agent, a source confirmed to ESPN.

NFL Network first reported the news of the Chiefs' plan.

The Chiefs will free up $6.75 million in salary cap space by parting with Foles.

Foles, 28, joined the Chiefs last year as a free agent after being released by the Los Angeles Rams. He played in three games for Kansas City, starting one. He threw for 410 yards and three touchdowns.
