On Monday, Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reported that the Kansas City Chiefs were signing former Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Carson Wentz to serve as Patrick Mahomes’ backup for the upcoming season.
On Thursday, the now well-traveled Wentz — the second overall selection of the 2016 NFL Draft — joined the Kansas City media for an introductory press conference via Zoom.
The Chiefs will now mark Wentz’s fourth team in four seasons since leaving the Eagles in 2020. While he knows it may be another one-year stint, Kansas City’s recent success and reputation under head coach Andy Reid factored heavily into his decision.
