Recently, the Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly considering cutting their 2nd-string QB Nick Foles as he may be playing in a different uniform next season. Today’ we’ll be looking at the potential 2nd-string QB options for the Chiefs next season

Jay Cutler

The Chicago Bears have recently added Jay Cutler to the 2017 NFL trading block making him a potential 2nd-string QB for Kansas City. Jay Cutler seems to be at the twilight of his career and could finish in KC. What’s interesting is that Dave Dameshek once did an N “if” L about how the Kansas City Chiefs could’ve traded for Jay Cutler in the 2009 NFL offseason if Tom Brady didn’t get injured by the Chiefs in the ’08-09 NFL season. You can watch the full N “if” L video down below.

Just to think, we may actually be living in the N “if” L by the 2017-18 NFL season. Strange

Tony Romo

Tony Romo has been the talk of the 2017 NFL offseason, as it’s likely Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are moving on from Tony Romo in favor of new rookie QB Dak Prescott. Which means Tony Romo could be sent over to the Kansas City Chiefs as a Nick Foles replacement. The biggest issue of course is, Tony Romo getting injured frequently which would mean we would have to throw in Tyler Bray, In case both Alex Smith and Tony Romo are injured in a game, and that could hurt the Chiefs in the 2017-18 season.

Jimmy Garroppolo

Jimmy Garroppolo is an interesting choice for a 2nd-string QB to Kansas City. He was the New England Patriots starting QB for the first 4 games of the 2016-17 NFL season and he did pretty well, which as fantastic for Garroppolo, so maybe he could be traded over and play 2nd string for the Kansas City Chiefs next season. Now, some would argue Jimmy Garropolo would be too much like Matt Cassel after we traded for him from the Patriots in the 2009 NFL offseason, but unlike Matt Cassel, I believe Jimmy Garroppolo has talent and could potentially take over for Alex Smith in the coming NFL seasons.

DeShaun Watson

If the Chiefs can’t trade for a new 2nd-string QB next season, then maybe there’s a shot at drafting 2017 National Champion starting QB DeShaun Watson in the upcoming 2017 NFL Draft, he would make a very good fit for the Chiefs next season, and could eventually take over for Alex Smith in the coming seasons. However, the Chiefs could only possibly get Watson if either the draft order is switched around so the Chiefs have a better chance of drafting DeShaun Watson, or DeShaun Watson gets drafted by another team but refuses to sign with them making him a free agent in the 2017 NFL offseason or a more drastic situation would be a draft pick trade involving DeShaun Watson to KC if he’s once again drafted by another team.

Conclusion

Overall, those are my top 4 picks to be Kansas City’s new 2nd-string QB for the 2017-18 NFL season, I’m not sure what the Chiefs will do for a 2nd-string QB after Nick Foles departs but we’ll see.
