The comments from general manager Brett Veach after the Kansas City Chiefs signed Chad Henne as a backup for new starter Patrick Mahomes II seemed to indicate his new team values the veteran quarterback as much for his experience as his potential to help win games, if need be.
“Chad has been in this league a long time and has a tremendous feel for the game,” Veach said. “His experiences and knowledge will be valuable to our quarterback room, and on top of that, he has the physical tools to step in if needed.
