Nick Foles and Andy Reid are to blame for Patrick Mahomes’ new teammate’s decision to join the Chiefs.
signed a contract for a year with Kansas City
Carson Wentz wasted no time in ensuring his next chapter in the NFL, signing a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2024 season, following a protracted stretch without a deal during the 2023 campaign. The former No. 2 overall pick was persuaded to sign with the Chiefs by Nick Foles, a voice he was familiar with from his previous team.
Wentz gives quarterback Nick Foles credit for praising Chiefs coaches Andy Reid and Matt Nagy, who Foles had previously worked with when playing for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chiefs.
“I recall everything that was positive about [Foles’] tenure here,” Wentz reportedly remarked, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Teicher.
“He cherished it to the hilt. He enjoyed working with those individuals, and while I was making this choice, his words to me back then clearly rang true.
“Those things were undoubtedly a part, and knowing what I was entering into gave me a bit more peace and comfort.”
