Gardner Minshew II News
Monday, March 9, 2:06 PM
Former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew reached an agreement on Monday on a one-year, $8.25 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Cardinals have released Kyler Murray (foot), but even with the addition of Minshew, the Cardinals intend to keep veteran Jacoby Brissett as their starting QB in 2026. It means that Minshew will be the backup in the desert next season. The 29-year-old gunslinger spent last year in Kansas City, backing up Patrick Mahomes. The forer sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019 out of Washington State appeared in four games (one start) and went 6-for-13 for 37 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Minshew injured his knee in his lone start late in the 2025 season and didn't play again after Mahomes suffered a season-ending knee injury. A Pro Bowler in 2023 with the Colts, Minshew won't be on the two-QB superflex radar unless Brissett misses time with an injury.

Bo Nix News
Wednesday, July 29, 10:38 AM
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) was a full participant as expected today in practice, according to The Athletic's Nick Kosmider. Nix is coming off an ankle injury that he sustained in the AFC Divisional Round playoff win against the Buffalo Bills. The 26-year-old had surgery in January and a minor clean-up procedure in April. Nix not only was a full participant in practice but also looked sharp during red-zone work, according to Kosmider. He could be in line to take his game to the next level after the team traded for Jaylen Waddle earlier this offseason. On paper, Waddle and Nix make the perfect pairing for real football and fantasy football success. Nix is currently an undervalued target in redraft leagues and is being drafted as QB15 on Yahoo.
