Chiefs Signing QB Matt Moore, Place FB John Lovett On IR

According to Adam Schefter, the Chiefs are signing QB Matt Moore on Monday. 

The Chiefs announced the signing of Moore and placed FB John Lovett on injured reserve. 

Kansas City is in need of a backup quarterback following the news Chad Henne would have surgery on a fractured ankle this week. 

Moore had been working with the Dolphins in an unofficial capacity as a scout. The Chiefs actually showed interest in him last May before electing to sign Henne. 

Moore, 35, originally signed on with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon State back in 2007. He spent three years in Carolina before signing on with the Dolphins in 2011.

Moore played out the final year of a two-year, $3.5 million contract with the Dolphins in 2017 and did not play in 2018.

In 2017, Moore appeared in four games for the Dolphins and completed 61.4 percent of his passes for 861 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions.
