Raiders expected to release Gardner Minshew, source confirms

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to release quarterback Gardner Minshew when free agency begins next week, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Minshew, 28, signed a two-year, $25 million free agent contract last offseason with $15 million guaranteed. He has a cap hit of $14 million in 2025, and $3.16 million of guaranteed money left on his deal. The Raiders could save $9.3 million by making him a post-June 1 cut.

Minshew was in a tight quarterback competition with Aidan O'Connell during training camp last year before ultimately winning the starting job.
