According to NFL Media, Minshew has agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $25 million. The deal includes $15 million fully guaranteed at signing, indicating the Raiders' faith in his abilities.

While there is talk of Minshew competing with Aidan O'Connell for the starting role, there is also speculation that he could be a placeholder for a potential first-round draft pick in the future. Coach Antonio Pierce has emphasized the team's desire for a long-term solution at quarterback, rather than a temporary fix.

Minshew's journey to Las Vegas has been an interesting one. Initially selected as a sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019, he has since made stops with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Indianapolis Colts. Last season, Minshew took the Colts to the brink of the playoffs after starter Anthony Richardson suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.

Known for his likability and camaraderie with teammates, Minshew brings a fun and engaging presence to the team. If he secures the starting position, he is expected to inject some excitement into the Raiders' offense, making them an entertaining team to watch.

As the 2022 NFL season approaches, all eyes will be on Gardner Minshew and his ability to lead the Raiders to success. With a solid contract in hand, he now has the opportunity to prove himself as a long-term solution for Las Vegas' quarterback needs.
