Several teams were interested in his services but in the end Foles settled on a reunion with his old head coach Andy Reid. According to Mike Garafolo at Fox Sports, Foles has signed with the Chiefs.
2. Leon Hall signs with New York Giants
The top free agent defensive back on the market has also found a new home. Former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Leon Hall is expected to sign with the New York Giants today, per Rand Getlin of NFL Network. Ian Rapoport says it’s a one-year deal for $2 million.
3. NaVorro Bowman signs extension
Veteran San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Rapoport is reporting that Bowman has agreed to a four-year, $44 million contract extension.
4. Cowboys target Josh McCown
Having lost the Nick Foles “sweepstakes,” the Dallas Cowboys are now interested in trading for veteran quarterback Josh McCown. One problem: ESPN’s Ed Werder says that the Cleveland Browns are not eager to part with him.
5. Jay Cutler fires back at Bennett
The Bennett brothers had some harsh words for Jay Cutler in an ESPN profile that was released yesterday. Michael called him the worst quarterback in the NFL and Martellus claimed Cutler would throw into double coverage even when he was open.

6. Brandon Boykin out for the year
It’s been a tough offseason for nickelback specialist Brandon Boykin, who recently signed with the Chicago Bears. Things aren’t getting any better, either. Apparently he has suffered a torn pectoral muscle and will miss the entire 2016 season.
7. Justin Tucker makes a bold claim
Baltimore Ravens placekicker Justin Tucker has a hell of a leg, but we’re going to need proof of this one. Tucker told Good Morning Football that in perfect weather in Denver he can make a field goal from 84.5 yards out.
8. Falcons waive Torrey Green
According to TMZ, Atlanta’s rookie linebacker Torrey Green is under investigation in Utah for two separate cases of rape. The Falcons have released him.
9. Saints want Ronald Leary
The Cowboys are pretty well set up along their offensive line. It sounds like the Saints think they could stand to lose one of them. Rapoport says New Orleans has been trying to swing a deal for guard Ronald Leary for several months now.
10. Adrian Peterson loses appeal
The NFLPA won’t be pleased about this. According to Adam Schefter, Adrian Peterson has lost an appeal stemming from his domestic issues, which helps support NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s ability to continue settling discipline issues.
