“If any team is open to adding weapons of all kinds, it’s them(Kansas City Chiefs). Andy Reid isn’t shy about offering opportunities for comeback stories, Patrick Mahomes would likely embrace the chance to work alongside him, and Chad Henne could still stick as the more conventional pocket-passing backup” Benjamin made his speculations.

Although the Chiefs currently have two capable backups in the form of Chad Henne and Shane Buechele, the Chiefs might still go for the veteran. It is cause he can offer a great combination of backups with his past experiences and incredible talent. Benjamin also added that receiver Daurice Fountain was recently spotted running routes for Kaepernick, and Eric Bieniemy may use the QB in some of Kansas City’s trick-play formations.
