Wentz's Future with the Chiefs uncertain
While Pacheco's future with the Chiefs looks set, there's uncertainty surrounding the status of quarterback Carson Wentz. Signed by the Chiefs in the offseason on a one-year, $3 million contract, Wentz has primarily served as a backup to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
However, with limited game time, the former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback may now be looking towards free agency in search of a starting role elsewhere.
Head coach Andy Reid has expressed his iration for Wentz, praising his leadership, work ethic, and abilities.
"I'm one of his biggest fans," Reid said of Wentz.
"I liked what he did before he was banged up there in Philly. And I liked what I saw last year from him for sure with his start with the Rams. And I like what I've seen here.
"I'm glad I have had the opportunity to see him here. I'd selfishly like to keep him, but I don't think that's going to be possible."
