There will be one less quarterback on the open market this off-season.

Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard has told FOXSports.com that he has agreed on a three-year deal to remain in Kansas City. Huard would not discuss terms of the deal, but it is believed to be worth about $7.5 million over the life of the deal.

"This makes so much sense for me," Huard said. "I already know the system. I love the city."

The 33-year-old filled in admirably last season for Kansas City starter Trent Green, who suffered a severe concussion in the team's opener. Huard started eight games for the Chiefs in 2006, leading them to a 5-3 mark during that stretch, while compiling an impressive 98.0 passing rating.

Green's status for 2007 still remains to be seen and the Chiefs also have rookie Brodie Croyle waiting in the wings. But the re-signing of Huard gives the Chiefs a veteran quarterback to fall back on.

"I don't know exactly what's going to happen with our quarterback position, but at least I know I'll be in the mix," Huard said.

just my opinion, but, Huard did play well during Greens injury, But I hope KC will sign a young QB for the future so he can learn from these 2

I figure Green is gone. I hope Croyle is as good as Herm thinks he is. Not too sure where Viper is coming from with the drafting of a good young QB... we are already supposed to have one.
