The Chiefs appointed Gardner Minshew as their backup quarterback for 2025, following Carson Wentz in 2024. Head coach Andy Reid praised Minshew’s experience, noting it will benefit starter Patrick Mahomes on gameday, as both can share insights and strategies. Minshew, 29, has started 46 games since being drafted in 2019 and had a productive 2023 season with the Raiders, completing 66.3% of his passes for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns, and ten interceptions.
