Revenge of the Birds on Gardner Minshew
From the article
signed him to a one-year, $5.75 million contract to help clarify a quarterback situation that remains undefined between what veteran Jacoby Brissett can do, and what rookie Carson Beck needs to prove
STACKED’s take
Minshew signed as backup QB on $5.75M deal; LaFleur wants him 'best backup of all time.'
Minshew signed a one-year, $5.75 million contract with Arizona to compete in an undefined quarterback situation between veteran Jacoby Brissett and rookie Carson Beck. Head coach Mike LaFleur has positioned Minshew as a backup, stating 'We want him to be the best backup quarterback of all time' and emphasizing that Minshew must be ready at any time despite not always getting starter's reps in practice. In preseason against Dallas, Minshew completed 19 of 23 passes for 177 yards, one interception, and an 80.6 passer rating. LaFleur praised his ability to keep plays alive and noted the interception was due to receiver Simi Fehoko falling on a coverage read, not a bad decision.
