Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are still feeling the sting of their Super Bowl blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. That sting does not leave until a new season gets underway and the hunger to get back to the big game returns. So far this offseason, the Chiefs have been pretty busy.

The Kansas City Chiefs have found a quarterback to back up superstar Patrick Mahomes in the 2025 season, signing Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal in NFL free agency.

Minshew was selected in the sixth round of the 2019 draft by the Jaguars to back up Nick Foles. He was thrust into action in the season opener — against the Chiefs — and had a solid outing. He went 22-for-25 passing for 275 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort.
