Ever since he caught on with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a rookie in 2019, Gardner Minshew has popped around the league in various roles as a spot starter or backup quarterback.
After serving as quarterback insurance for Anthony Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts last season, the 28-year-old signed a new deal with the Las Vegas Raiders at the open of the 2024 free agency period.
Minshew beat out Aidan O’Connell in camp and will be the starting quarterback for the Raiders, at least at the start of the season.
Bettors who have dipped into the Las Vegas Raiders odds pool will be rooting hard for the young vet.
