The Kansas City Chiefs reached a one-year agreement with quarterback Gardner Minshew II, per multiple media reports.

Minshew has played six NFL seasons, spending time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and Las Vegas Raiders.

In 2023, Minshew got the opportunity to be a starter for the Colts, securing his first Pro Bowl selection in the process. Across 17 games (13 starts), he threw for 3,305 yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions. On the ground, he rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns.

As a starter, he led the Colts to a 7-6 record.

Coming off a successful campaign, he signed a two-year contract with the Raiders last offseason. However, he went 2-7 as the starter, throwing for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and a career-high 10 interceptions. His passer rating of 81.0 marked a career low.

The Raiders elected to release him earlier this month.

Minshew is coming off an underwhelming season, but the former Pro Bowl signal-caller will be one of the most accomplished backup quarterbacks in the league. With 46 career starts under his belt, he gives the Chiefs insurance behind Patrick Mahomes.
