Free agent quarterback Gardner Minshew reached agreement Thursday on a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Minshew will replace Carson Wentz as Patrick Mahomes' backup with the Chiefs. Wentz is a free agent.
The Las Vegas Raiders released Minshew Wednesday, one year after signing him to a two-year, $25 million contract in the 2024 offseason.
Minshew, 28, was in a tight quarterback competition with Aidan O'Connell during training camp last year before ultimately winning the starting job. But Minshew struggled in the starting role, passing for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 10 games -- nine starts -- before suffering a season-ending broken collarbone against the Broncos in November.
