Another Kessler thought - was he Caldwell’s “plan A” as backup QB?

Kessler has presumably been available for trade for some time and Henne had gone to KC well before this move was made. Plus, Caldwell told the media he has his “plan” some time before this deal was done.

Now, I accept it might take some time to agree a trade like this, even one which was in Caldwell’s mind for a while. But this seems a little longer than usual.

I think the extended time-gap might tell us there was someone else they were also interested in.

An option they wanted to pursue before turning to Kessler.

Or perhaps it simply indicates they wanted to see who else might become available after the initial free-agency frenzy.

Whatever, I think the timing is interesting.

I guess we’ll never be told though.
