Report: Quarterback Nick Foles signs with Chiefs


Quarterback Nick Foles and the Kansas City Chiefs have come to terms on a deal, according to a published report Wednesday night.

Foles drew interest from the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings before settling on the Chiefs, according to NFL Network. Foles, who was granted his release by the Los Angeles Rams a week ago, will be reunited with head coach Andy Reid.

Foles played for Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles. Reid selected Foles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The addition of Foles, 27, gives the Chiefs an experienced backup for starter Alex Smith.

Foles started 11 games for the Rams last season, throwing seven touchdowns and 11 interceptions in those contests. He was benched in favor of Case Keenum late in the season.
