PeteSweeney April 18, 2023 at 2:00 PMMark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsThe Kansas City Chiefs have a new backup quarterback.
12-year veteran Blaine Gabbert has signed with Kansas City, as first reported by “The Pat McAfee Show” and quickly confirmed by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star added that the deal is for one year.
Gabbert, 33, first entered the league out of the University of Missouri more than a decade ago as the 10th pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2011 NFL Draft.
A native of Ballwin, Missouri, Gabbert played high school football at Parkway West.The 6-foot-5, 236-pound
quarterback played in 67 games (48 starts) and completed 1,533 (56.4%) of 864 passes for more than 9,000 passing yards, 51 touchdowns and 47 interceptions.
During his long career, Gabbert spent time with the Jaguars (2011-13), San Francisco 49ers (2014-16), Arizona Cardinals (2017), Tennessee Titans (2018) and most recently the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019-). 22).
Yes, that means Gabber has a Super Bowl LV ring.Before the start of the 2022 season, head coach Andy Reid reversed his long-standing practice of keeping three quarterbacks through the 53-man deadline, with just two players in 2018, 2020 and 2021.
But last year he went back to three quarterbacks. deadline, with rookie Patrick Mahomes, veteran quarterback Chad Henne and 25-year-old Shane Buechele.
Of course, he is now retired.As of this writing, I predict that Reid will again choose to keep three quarterbacks, with the backup job between Gabbert and Buechele.
