Chiefs agree to deal with Huard

There will be one less quarterback on the open market this off-season.

Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard has told FOXSports.com that he has agreed on a three-year deal to remain in Kansas City. Huard would not discuss terms of the deal, but it is believed to be worth about $7.5 million over the life of the deal.

"This makes so much sense for me," Huard said. "I already know the system. I love the city."

The 33-year-old filled in admirably last season for Kansas City starter Trent Green, who suffered a severe concussion in the team's opener. Huard started eight games for the Chiefs in 2006, leading them to a 5-3 mark during that stretch, while compiling an impressive 98.0 passing rating.

Green's status for 2007 still remains to be seen and the Chiefs also have rookie Brodie Croyle waiting in the wings. But the re-signing of Huard gives the Chiefs a veteran quarterback to fall back on. "I don't know exactly what's going to happen with our quarterback position, but at least I know I'll be in the mix," Huard said. Jay Glazer is a senior NFL writer for FOXSports.com.

Well I guess that makes Rattay or Harrington as backup front runners for us...

i really doubt we were even going to look at him.. he got decent money 3 years 7.5 million.. dont think well spend that much either... hopefully we can get harrington 2 years 4 million.

signing huard is the best thing they could have done. they should release green. that head thing really hurt him and i think it was more serious then what was put out

 

[Bob Sacamano]

it's another bad year to be in need of a QB, unless you pick in the top 10 of the draft, and even then it's a crapshoot

 

[miamicowboy21]

Harrington stinks, i want no part of him.

 

[BLT]

hell if the chiefs release trent green i think hed be a great backup for romo.

That tackle that hurt Green was vicious. I don't mean dirty, just very rough.

yeah, thats those type of tackles that ended aikmans career. i think green should be released or he should just retire and i think he will. its a great game but not something they should put their life after football in jeopordy for.

That's one possibility off the list. Consult my old posts for further options if you like.

There's Carr, Plummer, Rattay, Volek, Griese, Collins, Holcomb, and others that COULD be available for a small fee, if not for free.

Yes, Ricky Ray is off the list until 2008, as he's still under contract with the Edmonton Eskimos. After that, who knows?

Don't completely rule out Couch (depending on health) or Maddox.

We really need to burn a draft pick on a QB, sleeper or otherwise.

i saw holcomb mentioned a few times... he wouldnt be that bad of a backup QB.

Or that great of one. I think we can do better than Holcomb.

for pete's sake, why are you so hung up on who our backup QB is going to be?
