On Thursday afternoon, they made their move. Instead of re-signing Wentz to back up Patrick Mahomes, general manager Brett Veach opted to bring in former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Kansas City Chiefs made a two-pronged move involving Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones accounting for about $50 million in NFL free agency.

Mahomes and Jones are both tied to the Chiefs for years to come -- Mahomes is signed through 2031, and Jones through 2028 -- so Kansas City's adjustments here were likely related to how and when those players' contracts get paid out.
