All eyes might be on one former Michigan quarterback, as Tom Brady posted a goodbye to the New England Patriots on social media on Tuesday morning. But another one just cemented himself with the franchise he just won a Super Bowl with.
It’s now been awhile since Chad Henne — who played in Ann Arbor from 2004-2007 — has been a starting quarterback in the NFL, but he continues to be a capable backup to Patrick Mahomes with the Kansas City Chiefs, the team that won Super Bowl LIV in Miami earlier this year. But the Chiefs certainly feel lucky to have Henne — who is entering his 11th year in the league. Though Henne didn’t play in 2019, he’s completed 59.3% of his passes in his NFL career for 12,960 yards, 58 touchdowns and 63 interceptions.
Kansas City has thusly re-signed the former Michigan football star to a two-year contract.
“We’ve been blessed and fortunate to have two veteran guys that just did a tremendous job,” Veach told Chiefs Wire. “Chad (Henne) got hurt. And Matt (Moore) came out of retirement and played really good football for us in that Minnesota game that we won in the middle of the season. It was a big deal. We actually have two meetings scheduled with both their representatives this week as well. We’ll see how that goes, but I anticipate one of those guys being back and we’ll have to work through the dialogue with both their agents and see what makes sense for them and us.”
Now, we’ll be waiting for the other domino to fall as far as former Michigan quarterbacks are concerned, with Tom Brady mulling his options to switch teams for the first time in his NFL career.
