The Kansas City Chiefs have been talking to the Jacksonville Jaguars about quarterback Tyler Thigpen, according to a league source, but have been unable to come to an agreement to this point. Thigpen is stuck behind starter Matt Cassel, and with fellow backup Brody Croyle coming off a decent preseason performance and with him also having a close relationship with offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, Croyle has been the favorite to win the No. 2 job.

According to the team depth chart, Tyler Thigpen is 3rd on the depth chart behind Matt Cassel and Brodie Croyle.

RB Jamaal Charles is listed at 3rd as well, behind Larry Johnson and Jackie Battle

Matt Cassel has taken all of the first-team snaps at camp, and Tyler Thigpen has conceded his job is now to be the best reserve quarterback he can be.

After Kansas City traded for Matt Cassel during the off-season, Tyler Thigpen finds himself in the No. 2 spot on the Chiefs depth chart heading into this year's training camp.

"They've got a lot of money invested in (Cassel), and I'm comfortable being behind him," Thigpen said. "I'm going to support him and do anything that I can to make him better. I'm a team player and not just an individual."

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel is the starter. The Chiefs also have backups Tyler Thigpen, Brodie Croyle and Ingle Martin. Croyle didn’t participate in a recent veteran minicamp. His season ended last October with a knee injury and surgery. Chiefs coach Todd Haley indicated Sunday that Croyle could be ready to play by the start of training camp in late July. If so, the Chiefs won’t be in need of another quarterback, at least in terms of numbers. “As it stands, yeah,” Haley said. “Croyle is the wild card right now just on when we’re going to get him back. We’re hoping that before camp he’ll be ready to go.

“We’ll keep all options open and we’ll talk about these guys that were in here this weekend and anyone else that’s available or becomes available.”
