The Chiefs took to social media on Monday, March 17, to share footage of Minshew inking his big deal, and he was all smiles. Fans had an interesting response to the signing, too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>New Chiefs Quarterback Gardner Minshew is Officially in the Fold<\/h2>\n<p>In response to the Chiefs sharing photos and video of Minshew signing his deal with Kansas City, fans took to social media to give Minshew props for, of all things, his mullet.\u00a0Yes, Minshew\u2019s hairdo took center stage, with fans applauding him for the retro look.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel that mullet has special powers or something,\u201d one fan said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mullet has landed,\u201d another stated.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, fans also commented on the signing itself, and most of them gave glowing reviews of the pick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNice move by the Chiefs,\u201d one stated. \u201cMinshew is a solid quarterback choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDude is gonna be popular in KC,\u201d another stated. \u201cDoesn\u2019t even have to throw the ball, just host a tailgate or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not the best QB in the world (like the one we already have), but this just seems like a perfect fit. Welcome to Chiefs Kingdom! I hope you find your stay quite beneficial,\u201d one more said.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Gardner Minshew Comes to Kansas City Chiefs With Lots of Experience<\/h2>\n<p>One of the reasons fans might be so hot on Minshew is because he comes with a lot of starting experience. He started nine games for the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<p>Minshew, 28, played in 10 games with nine starts for the Raiders and notched 203-of-306 passes for 2,013 yards and nine touchdowns. He also averaged 6.6 yards-per-attempt and garnered a passer rating of 81.0.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA broken collarbone suffered in mid-November ultimately ended Minshew\u2019s lone season with the Raiders early, but he\u2019ll now remain in the AFC West as a member of the Chiefs,\u201d notes Kansas City Chiefs reporter Matt McMullen in a Monday, March 17 feature on the new quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>One reason Minshew could be a great fit with the Chiefs is because in addition to his experience on the field, he seems like the adventurous type off the field. You need that on a team with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The Chiefs are more than a team, they\u2019re a brand and personality.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cMinshew has developed a reputation for his outsized personality, as evidenced by his propensity to rock a long mustache and (for a time) a mullet,\u201d McMullen notes. \u201cHe traveled cross-country in an RV in 2019,\u00a0he\u2019s flown in an F-16 Falcon fighter jet, and\u00a0he lived in a renovated bus outside of a gym during the 2022 offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds, \u201cIn short, Minshew certainly lives life to its fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Kansas City, Minshew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs officially have a new quarterback, and he&#8217;s drawing a big response from football fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17768,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
