Chiefs new quarterback Nick Foles says Andy Reid played an important part in his signing
Nick Foles had offers from the Dallas Cowboys, and Minnesota Vikings, but elected to play for a familiar face rather than go to a place where he may have a better chance to play.
Foles confirmed Friday that his relationship with Reid was the primary factor in his decision to sign with Kansas City.
“I told my agent, ‘That’s the guy I want to play for,'” Foles said Friday, via ESPN.com.
Foles will now compete with Aaron Murray, Tyler Bray and Kevin Hogan for the back-up number 2 spot and maybe even a roster spot.
