The Las Vegas Raiders have signed quarterback Gardner Minshew to a two-year, $25 million contract, which I think is an absolute bargain for them, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Minshew replaces injured Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, returning after a year in which he led Indy to a 7-6 record en route to the Pro Bowl as a starter.

Gardner Minshew, the man, the myth, the legend, had a huge presence in the NFL, sported a great mustache and said some of the greatest bangers of all time. (Related article: Star defensive tackle gets amazing 9-figure deal, new team could be the best defensive line in the league)
“Vincent van Gogh, people said to him, “You can't be a great painter because you only have one ear.'' Do you know what he said? “I can’t hear you,” Minshew said in The Players Tribune in 2020. interview.Indeed, he stolen from the moviebut give the men a break.
Minshew is a football guy on and off the field. Although he has spent time bouncing back and forth between starter and backup positions during his five-year NFL career, the former sixth-round pick has shown he has the ability to lead the franchise to a winning record. certified.
He's also clearly a deep-red American.

I completely agree with the Minshewmania theory. After a strong start to his NFL career as the Jaguars' starter in 2019, Minshew struggled in 2020 and was ultimately benched. After spending several years as a backup in Philadelphia, Minshew signed with the Colts as a backup before the 2023 season. However, when Minshew was thrown into the crucible, he answered the call and saved Indy.
If given the chance to start in Las Vegas, all signs point to the fact that he will compete with incumbent Aidan O'Connell for the job.
I have no doubt that he will be answering the phone in Las Vegas as well.
How could you not if you had that mustache?
