i wouldn't give a squash for that

Exactly.

He's not worth anything more than a 5th.

No Foles is the backup and emergancy starter if Geno ends up not being ready day one. Ha ha. He'll be ready but Foles will also help with that because he knows the offense.

Pretty much.

Story Highlights

Chiefs coach Andy Reid drafted Foles for Philadelphia in 2012
Foles went 1-5 as the starter during his rookie season
Foles threw for 1,699 yards, six touchdowns with five interceptions

While the Philadelphia Eagles continue to see Nick Foles as an option to be their quarterback this upcoming season, the reality is the team now has two quarterbacks more fitted to run Chip Kelly's system.

The Eagles signed free-agent Dennis Dixon on Thursday. Dixon played under Kelly at Oregon in 2007 when Kelly was the offensive coordinator.

So it's in the realm of possibility Foles could be traded. And if so, the Kansas City Chiefs could be the destination.

The Chiefs and new coach Andy Reid are interested in acquiring Foles if he becomes available, according to a person informed of the team's thinking. The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs haven't discussed their thoughts on their roster publicly, said the team is working on plans to add a quarterback and considers Foles a possibility.

Kelly has said Foles and Michael Vick would compete for the starting job and that both could run a similar system, despite their differences in style. The person informed of the Chiefs' plans said the Eagles have not told Kansas City that Foles is available to this point.

But if the Eagles decide Vick is their best option, it makes sense to deal Foles. In seven games under Reid this past season, Foles showed flashes of being a successful NFL quarterback by throwing for 1,699 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions.

Foles led a last-minute comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. It was the only victory in Reid's final 12 games as Eagles coach. Reid's elation on the sideline after Foles' game-winning TD pass showed how thrilled he was with the performance.

Former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah, now an NFL.com analyst, reported Reid and Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, an assistant coach with the Eagles under Reid, "were very high on Nick Foles and his future."

The Chiefs have the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, but the class of quarterbacks is generally not considered strong.

The Chiefs will likely release veteran Matt Cassel unless he takes a pay cut from his $7.5 million base salary for 2013 -- and it's unclear if they'll even offer that option. The team's best chance at getting Reid a reliable signal caller will be in free agency or the trade market.

San Francisco 49ers backup Alex Smith has also been mentioned as a possibility.

What?

Let me guess: The Chiefs swap their first for the Eagles #4 overall, Foles and a 3rd rounder in 2014.

I'm sure it's nice to for everyone to see that you've reverted back to Full-reerun mode.

Kudos.

You're the idiot who declared Geno wouldn't win a SB last night.

I don't even NEED the Chiefs to draft Geno. Just a QB.

You've been blowing dumb posts out your ass since Romeo Crennel was hired as our HC.

Yeah, right.

No matter how many "dumb posts I blow"' there is no way in Hell I could ever match the more than 145,000 dumb posts you've made over various mults and bannings.

Furthermore, genius, you can't prove that Smith will win a championship anymore than I can prove he won't, but of course that irony went right over your pointy head.

It wouldn't be a shock to see a Smith slide to later in the first round. I think Oakland might take him, but seeing them pick the USC product or Manuel, they could be in love with his athleticism, wouldn't be all that shocking. It's the Raiders.

Certainly feels like moving down would make sense, if and only if Albert is truly healthy.

Manuel as the top QB huh? Yeah, likely.

In a year like this, where there are no QBs who'd be high first round picks any other year, it's likely to be more difficult to trade down than usual. Fewer teams wanting to move up, more wanting to move down. A team like Oakland might just see him as their type of guy and just take him.

If you go by the draft chart, moving from #4 to #1 is 1200 points, the same value as the #12 pick in the first round. Doing the trade as above would be essentially saying that Foles is worth a middle first round pick. No way.

If the Chiefs do something like this, they better get Foles, the Eagles' 2nd pick this year (540 points) and a conditional 2nd or 3rd next year (and maybe even a later round pick this year) or they are leaving too much value on the table.
