DONE DEAL: Kansas City Chiefs Has Officially Sign Former All-Pro And Super Bowl 52 Champion QB as Back Up QB to Patrick Mahomes in Massive Trade

The Kansas City Chiefs are adding another prominent quarterback to their roster.

The Kansas City Chiefs seem to be unstoppable.
After another season and another Super Bowl victory, the Kansas City Chiefs appear to be able to continue adding to their already impressive roster on both sides of the ball.
With one of the most impressive offensive lines in football and a perennially top ten defense engineered by general manager Brett Veach and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, it appears that Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes has everything except a true number one receiver – at least since Tyreek Hill’s departure.

Despite the recent trade of stud cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, the Chiefs maintain an elite, championship-caliber squad. According to Jordan Schultz, they are now looking to consolidate some of the backup roles with guys who had previously had extraordinarily good pedigree.

What Does Carson Wentz Bring to the Kansas City Chiefs?

The Chiefs are clearly not seeking for a future replacement for All-World quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Despite a strong defense and a typically good offensive line, the team’s success remains heavily dependent on Mahomes’ performance and availability.

For other teams, like the San Francisco 49ers, lower ceiling type players who are nevertheless excellent, such as Brocky Purdy and Jimmy Garoppolo, can be successful, as Kyle Shanahan’s team has made two Super Bowl trips in five years.

However, without exceptional receiving weapons and a less scheme-dependent system, despite head coach Andy Reid’s obvious genius, a low-ceiling, middle-of-the-pack quarterback will sink the Chiefs’ season if Mahomes misses significant time.

Enter Carson Wentz, who, while demonstrating the ability to deliver some really horrible takes, also had an MVP-caliber season in 2017, when the Nick Foles-led Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LII.
So it stands to reason that, in a stable franchise, with excellent coaching and smart play calling – with an established starter who will have the pressure lifted off his shoulders – Wentz might be able to succeed and play a potentially pivotal role in Kansas City’s future successes, if the time and place call for it – which the Chiefs will undoubtedly hope does not.
