Cowboys' hunt for a backup QB goes on.
Foles, 27, is in a different stage of his career. After being traded to the Rams in 2014 and then released this offseason, Foles is just trying to find a role in the NFL.
Reid, 58, is entering his fourth season with the Chiefs. Reid is 31-17 in Kansas City and 1-2 in the playoffs.
While Alex Smith is the Chiefs' starting QB, Foles will compete with Aaron Murray for the backup role. The Chiefs' former backup QB Chase Daniel is, ironically, in Philly. Daniel followed new Eagles head coach and former Chiefs offensive coordinator, Doug Pederson.
