Veteran quarterback Gardner Minshew is signing a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, according to a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The deal is worth a base value of $5.75 million, but Minshew can earn up to $8 million total if he hits specific performance incentives throughout the season.
Minshew brings a wealth of experience to the Arizona Cardinals roster. He spent the 2023 season with the Indianapolis Colts, where he appeared in 17 games and made 13 starts. During that campaign, Minshew threw for 3,305 yards and 15 touchdowns, helping lead the team through a competitive AFC South race.
Prior to his time in Indianapolis, Minshew served as a backup for the Philadelphia Eagles and began his career as a starter with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The move to Arizona provides the Cardinals with a proven veteran presence in their quarterback room as they prepare for the upcoming season. Further details regarding the specific contract structure and performance triggers have not yet been released.
