Nick Foles. 3. player. 124. . QB. Kansas City Chiefs

Why It Makes Sense: The Vikings were one of the teams interested in signing Foles when the Rams cut him, so there’s a connection. Foles is also an ace game manager if he’s in the right situation — something he’s been in once. Don’t expect MVP-caliber Foles but don’t count it out either. With Adrian Peterson in the backfield, anything is possible. Remember that Foles made a star out of Riley Cooper. I’m not saying he’s Aaron Rodgers but he’s sure as hell better than Shaun Hill. The Chiefs also love Tyler Bray as their backup, so parting with Foles and getting some return makes sense.

Why It Won’t HappenIt’s going to be hard to see the Chiefs trading Foles to the Vikings when they might get better return from the Cowboys. While the Dak Prescott hype is high, the Cowboys need someone with NFL experience to lead the team. Dam might be the future, but Foles can help the team win now, just like in Minnesota. The difference is, Foles might have a say in where he goes and he’ll more than likely pick Dallas. It’s an almost identical situation with an offensive minded coach rather than Zimmer’s defensive focus.

Proposed Trade: Kansas City wouldn’t demand a 2nd rounder or anything, but it’d be at least a fourth or fifth. That steep.  Aaron Murray is more in their price range but vastly less talented.
