Colts | Gardner Minshew would like to settle with a team Sat Feb 3, 10:06 AM
Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent QB Gardner Minshew said he would like to find a team that he can stay with for a while after playing with three teams in his first five seasons in the NFL.
Footballguys view: Minshew is a good backup quarterback who can start - and win games - if need be. The Colts have Anthony Richardson as their starter and potential franchise quarterback. However, we learned in 2023 (with 60 different starters at quarterback league-wide) that every team needs two quarterbacks. The Colts have almost $59 million in cap space, so keeping Minshew is an option. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew went 20-for-37 for 201 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16. He also rushed for 31 yards on four carries during the game.
Footballguys view: Minshew struggled without Michael Pittman. The Colts have to win next week against the Raiders or they will become a longshot for the playoffs. If Pittman is back, then Minshew will be a suitable QB2/Superflex. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew went 18-for-28 for 194 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the New England Patriots in Week 10.
Footballguys view: Minshew created a few positive plays and his only interception improvising outside of structure, but didn't need to press the issue throwing downfield with the Patriots offense failing to find to find the end zone. After starting out as a high volume passer, Minshew has settled in as a low ceiling game manager. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew went 23-for-41 for 213 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8.
Footballguys view: Minshew didn't have the most efficient day as a passer and stuck to the short stuff, but he did enough in a game the Colts trailed for much of the second half to be a fine QB2/Superflex or emergency QB1 option. Next week, he'll face a Panthers defense that shut down the Texans today. |

Colts | Gardner Minshew goes over 300 yards Sun Oct 22, 05:42 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew completed 15-of-23 passes for 305 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns, while running three times for 29 yards and two scores. It wasn't all good, though, as he lost three fumbles.
Footballguys view: Minshew was a massive fantasy hit despite turning the ball over four times again this week. This was the same defense that frustrated the 49ers well-oiled machine last week, so sometimes you just have to chalk things up to variance in the NFL. Minshew will still be someone we consider when we need a waiver wire quarterback, although next week there are no teams on bye, so we probably won't need him against the Saints. |

Colts | Gardner Minshew throws three INTs Sun Oct 15, 05:32 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew went 33-for-55 for 329 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6.
Footballguys view: Minshew turned the ball over four times, but that didn't make him any less bold as a passer, throwing the ball 55 times. That's going to be good for Michael Pittman and Josh Downs value, and at least Minshew got both running backs heavily involved as receivers. Minshew will take aim at the surging Browns defense next week. |

Footballguys view: Minshew was efficient yet again in relief of Anthony Richardson. He'll be worth a look as QB2/Superflex against the Jaguars next week in a showdown for first place unless Richardson's injury is not nearly as serious as it appeared in the game. |

Colts | Gardner Minshew in line to start early? Mon Jul 10, 03:21 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew could start early in the season, based on recent comments from team owner Jim Irsay.'For (Anthony Richardson), we know it's going to be tough. But he has to play to get better. There's no question. Gardner could play better early on, him just being a veteran. But we have to get Anthony on the field. That's (head coach Shane Steichen's) call when he decides,' Irsay told the Pat McAfee show Monday, July 10.
Footballguys view: This isn't the first time a report like this has been filed this offseason. Everyone knows that 2023 first-round pick QB Anthony Richardson is the future for the Colts at the position. However, everyone also knows that Richardson is raw and may need some time before he starts. That being said, we prefer experience as the best teacher so long as Richardson is not set back by starting too early. We'll know more about this situation as training camp and the preseason unfolds. |

Colts | Gardner Minshew could start Week 1 Tue Jun 27, 09:35 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew has a chance to start Week 1, but it's trending toward QB Anthony Richardson starting, according to beat writer Nate Atkins.
Footballguys view: The future of the Colts is Richardson, so getting him in there ASAP is likely the best plan. The rookie first-round pick is incredibly raw, but he's got all the tools to be a franchise quarterback. There's no better teacher than experience, so we think Richardson comes out of training camp and preseason as the starter for Week 1. Minshew is there as veteran insurance. |

Even if Minshew begins the season as the starter, we imagine things will be turned over to Richardson sooner rather than later. |

Eagles | Gardner Minshew likely to get Week 17 nod Fri Dec 30, 01:26 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Gardner Minshew received most of the practice reps during the week, according to 'several players' who talked to The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane.
Footballguys view: Minshew is a strong QB1 play against the Saints this week. There aren't too many quarterbacks that are clear starts over him after he posted a great stat line against the Cowboys last week. The Eagles need to win to secure the division and #1 seed. |

Eagles | Gardner Minshew solid in spot start Sat Dec 24, 07:29 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Gardner Minshew completed 24-of-40 passes for 355 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He also added four carries for five rushing yards.
Footballguys view: Minshew had a few miscues, but not every turnover was on him, and he looked very comfortable running the offense. He should get a shot to start next year, but Week 17 vs. New Orleans is less certain as Jalen Hurts is pushing to start. Minshew made some magic for anyone that trusted him this week, and he'll be a viable QB1 next week if Hurts isn't ready to play. |

Eagles | Gardner Minshew staying put? Wed Jul 6, 09:42 PM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Gardner Minshew isn't expected to be traded unless a team offers an early draft pick as compensation, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Footballguys view: There were rumblings earlier in the year that Minshew could be available via trade, but we don't think any team ponies up enough for the Eagles' liking. That means Minshew is there for this season to serve as a primary backup to QB Jalen Hurts. Minshew is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2023, and perhaps then he could find a team where he can compete for the top job. |

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) appears unlikely to play in the Week 13 game because of his ankle injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. NFL reporter Derrick Gunn says that Hurts has been ruled out of the game and that QB Gardner Minshew will be the starting quarterback.
Footballguys view: Minshew could improve the prospects of Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith and perhaps even Miles Sanders. Jalen Hurts will have a chance to heal over the bye and probably start in Week 15 unless Gardner Minshew is a revelation against the Jets. |

Eagles | Gardner Minshew now primary backup Tue Oct 26, 01:44 AM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Gardner Minshew is now the primary backup to QB Jalen Hurts with the team trading away veteran QB Joe Flacco to the New York Jets. 'We feel really good about (Minshew) being our No. 2 quarterback,' head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday, Oct. 25.
Footballguys view: If you play in a superflex league, it's time to consider Minshew as a preliminary pickup. Eagles coach Nick Sirriani doesn't have a solid plan for QB Jalen Hurts, and Minshew could start a couple of games if they want to make a switch to shake things up. Minshew started 20 games for the Jaguars (2019, 2020) and has posted 37 touchdowns with only 11 interceptions during his career. |

Jaguars | Sixth-rounder coming to JAX Sat Aug 28, 10:21 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 28, for a conditional sixth-round draft pick. The pick can become a fifth-round pick if Minshew plays 50 percent of the snaps in three games.
Footballguys view: The Jaguars named 2021 first-overall selection Trevor Lawrence their starter and decided it was time to move on from Minshew. Jacksonville will now use C.J. Beathard as the primary backup to Lawrence as they move forward with their franchise quarterback. |

Eagles | Gardner Minshew acquired by Eagles Sat Aug 28, 10:17 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew was acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 28, for a conditional sixth-round draft pick. QB Nick Mullens was released.
Footballguys view: It's a good place for Minshew to go with QB Jalen Hurts as the starter. Clearly, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni wants more from his quarterback position. Hurts and Joe Flacco competed for the starting job in camp, and now Minshew will get his chance to impress - even though the preseason is done. We'll see how this messy quarterback situation plays out. The pick traded to the Jaguars can become a fifth-round pick if Minshew plays 50 percent of the snaps in three games. There's a good chance Minshew could do that and perhaps more. |

Footballguys view: He can't be serious, right? Minshew is a nice player but Lawrence is a generational talent and one of those "can't miss" quarterbacks coming into the league like Andrew Luck was coming out of Stanford years ago. We have a feeling that Lawrence will be the starter for the Jaguars in Week 1. |

Jaguars | Jags not looking to deal Gardner Minshew Sat Mar 20, 09:23 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew is not under consideration to be traded at this point, even though multiple NFL clubs have contacted the team about his availability, according to head coach Urban Meyer.
Footballguys view: The Jaguars have the no.1 overall pick and that should be QB Trevor Lawrence from Clemson. That means Minshew is expendable as the team moves forward with a new potential franchise quarterback. Minshew has started enough games and flashed enough to get interest from teams like the Broncos who need or want a quarterback competition. They're not looking to deal Minshew, but that could change at a moment's notice. |
