Minshew's Final Showdown for Cardinals Future?
23 Aug
Summary
- Minshew may play his last game for the Cardinals against the Cowboys.
- Carson Beck's injury and evaluation needs position Minshew in purgatory.
- Minshew is a prime trade candidate if teams seek quarterback depth.
Quarterback Gardner Minshew is preparing for what could be his final game with the Arizona Cardinals as they host the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Mike LaFleur indicated Minshew will play approximately the first half, with Kedon Slovis finishing the game. Minshew joined the Cardinals on a one-year contract as a backup to Jacoby Brissett.
The team's evaluation of third-round pick Carson Beck, currently sidelined by a rib injury, has created a complex situation for Minshew. The Cardinals need to assess their rookie quarterback, potentially impacting Minshew's role and future with the team. This leaves Minshew in a state of uncertainty, often described as purgatory.
Minshew is viewed as a likely trade candidate. Teams often seek additional quarterback depth or replacements, especially around the trade deadline. Minshew's prior experience, affordable contract, and current situation in Arizona make him an attractive option for clubs looking to bolster their quarterback room. His performance against the Cowboys will be closely watched as teams assess potential trade targets.
