The Kansas City Chiefs have signed quarterback Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal, enhancing their depth behind starter Patrick Mahomes. Minshew, who previously played for the Las Vegas Raiders, joins the Chiefs as they continue to look for reliable backup options. Following a season marked by a fractured collarbone, Minshew's health will be a key factor in his contributions to the team.

In his last season with the Raiders, Minshew demonstrated solid performance metrics, completing 66.3% of his passes for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns, and ten interceptions across ten games. Despite a disappointing team record of 4-13, Minshew's experience may provide valuable insights and support to Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense. This signing continues the Chiefs' trend of bringing in new backups in consecutive offseasons, indicating their commitment to ensuring Mahomes has robust support if needed.
