Carson Wentz Joins Chiefs as Backup QB to Mahomes

The former Super Bowl champion signs a one-year deal, bringing experience and strategic depth to Kansas City's roster.

Carson Wentz signs a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, becoming the backup quarterback for Patrick Mahomes.
Wentz, a former Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles, joins his fifth team in as many seasons.
Analysts see Wentz's signing as a strategic move, given his success with quarterback sneaks, a play the Chiefs have avoided with Mahomes due to past injuries.
Despite a career marked by injuries and inconsistencies, Wentz's experience and physicality are viewed as assets for the Chiefs.
Wentz's signing is part of the Chiefs' broader strategy to reinforce their roster as they aim for a third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
