Quarterback Brady Quinn has signed a deal with the Chiefs, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The team agreed to a three-year contract Wednesday with Kyle Orton, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Two of the other quarterbacks on the free-agent market are Chad Henne and Kyle Orton. Both are getting early interest.

Coach Romeo Crennel‘s Saturday statement that he would be “crazy” not to consider acquiring Manning, were he to become available, raised eyebrows, in light of a recent report that Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli and the Colts QB’s agent have spoken twice.

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh expects Kendall Hunter to get more work in 2012. That’s not what Frank Gore owners will want to hear, but it may not be as bad as it sounds.

John Fox met with the media Thursday morning, and it didn’t take long for someone to ask the Brady Quinn question.

Matt Cassel’s job in Kansas City might not be safe with the team announcing that they would like a QB competition for next season.

A running log of NFL Week 16 from a fantasy perspective.

Adrian Peterson looks like he’s back, Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t appear to be going anywhere and the Chiefs have no idea where they’re going at QB.

It was believed that Tim Tebow would have an 11-game audition to show whether or not he could be an NFL quarterback. It might not even last that long.

The football trade deadline is just that, dead. There is little to no excitement. There is no intrigue. Teams out of the race don’t send picks to other teams for future consideration like in other sports like baseball. Here are some trades I would love to see happen.

The Broncos’ decision to name Tim Tebow the starting quarterback likely will have a domino effect on the offense that begins with WR Brandon Lloyd and also could include WR Eddie Royal, according to NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi.
