The Dallas Cowboys are in search of a veteran backup quarterback after Kellen Moore suffered a broken ankle, and their primary target may need to be acquired in a trade.

NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Cowboys have interest in Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown.

With #Cowboys missing on QB Nick Foles, they"re expected to turn their attention to a pursuit of #Browns QB Josh McCown as the next option

Dallas was reportedly considering signing Nick Foles, but he ended up agreeing to a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday.

While Robert Griffin III is expected to win the starting quarterback job with the Browns, we have heard some reports that make it seem like Cleveland should keep McCown around. But if Hue Jackson is truly committed to RG3, he may decide to move McCown.

Nick Foles is heading to Kansas City for a reunion with Andy Reid.

NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo first reported that Foles will sign with the Chiefs.

In addition to the Chiefs, Foles had offers from the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings.

FA QB Nick Foles agreed to terms with the #KCChiefs, per @MikeGarafolo, and I"m told he also had offers from the #Cowboys & #Vikings.

Foles requested his release from the Rams last week. He spent 2015 with the Rams, throwing for just 7 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He spent the three previous seasons with the Eagles. Reid was the team’s head coach in Foles’ rookie season when he started six games for the Eagles.

Foles’ best season came in 2013 when he passed for 27 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

Kellen Moore broken ankle to Nick Foles rumors

The Dallas Cowboys could be in the market for a new backup quarterback after Kellen Moore suffered a broken ankle in practice on Tuesday.

Moore, who saw significant action in three games last season (starting two) for Dallas, was the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Tony Romo. But the former Boise State QB suffered a broken left fibula, team owner Jerry Jones confirmed, putting Dallas down a man at the position already.

The Cowboys drafted Mississippi State product Dak Prescott in the fourth round, but he is unlikely to be ready to serve as a backup QB. And that has people talking Nick Foles.

Foles is available as a free agent since being released by the Rams last week at his request. He has experience in the NFC East as a former starter for the Philadelphia Eagles.

When asked about Foles last week, Jerruh didn’t seem interested.

“Foles isn’t an option,” the Cowboys owner and general manager said. “We wouldn’t get him any snaps. We got four that are going to get the snaps.”

Now with Moore going down, Jones’ feelings on the matter may change. Keep in mind that according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cowboys were one of the teams to discuss a trade for Foles prior to the draft.
