Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew II or Jalen Milroe

Thursday, March 13, 6:52 PM

Free agent quarterback Gardner Minshew reached a two-year agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. The amount of the deal has yet to be disclosed. Just one season after the Las Vegas Raiders inked Minshew to a two-year $25 million contract, he'll join his fifth squad after being selected by Jacksonville in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. With the release of former Chief Carson Wentz, the 28-year-old will slot in as the backup to new teammate Patrick Mahomes. The Washington State product never panned out consistently as a starter. Still, he's one of the better second-string options in the league and provides a skillset similar to Mahomes with his mobility. Kansas City has yet to make a groundbreaking acquisition in 2025, but they've picked up some essential depth pieces nonetheless.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe told reporters of SeattleSports.com that he's been focused on improving his lower-half mechanics during rookie minicamp. The Alabama product has been working on fine-tuning his base to aid in his evolution as a passer. "It's all about being an efficient passer," said the 22-year-old. "And so the more you work, the more you understand your body...So that's something that we continue to work on." Milroe was anything but the model of efficiency during his senior year at Alabama, though seeing him address it early is an encouraging sign. More so, considering he's under the tutelage of Jordan Palmer, brother to Carson Palmer, who worked with Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. The Seahawks' third-round pick has all the toolsy, physical gifts that play at the NFL, but he'll still need to refine his mechanics before surpassing teammates Drew Lock and Sam Darnold on the team's depth chart.
