The Kansas City Chiefs have been navigating this offseason with a three-peat in mind, and they have had some big roster decisions to make on both sides of the ball to ensure they are in a position to go get another Super Bowl.

One of those roster spots that needed attention was the backup quarterback position, as Blaine Gabbert has hit free agency and remains unsigned.

Kansas City brought in an upgrade behind Patrick Mahomes by signing former No. 2 pick Carson Wentz to a one-year deal, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has revealed the terms of that deal as Wentz has a $3.325 million base salary with $2.2 million fully guaranteed and up to $1.1 million in per-game active roster bonuses.

Carson Wentz’s one-year deal with the #Chiefs has a base value of $3.325 million, including $2.2M fully guaranteed and up to $1.1M in per-game active roster bonuses.

After waiting until November to sign last season, Wentz is now the clear No. 2 QB behind Patrick Mahomes in KC.

Wentz has been erratic in his career, but the talent is a clear upgrade over Gabbert.

In an ideal world, Wentz never sees the field for the Chiefs other than taking a few knees here and there or executing a few late-game handoffs to run the clock out.

Wentz started one game for the Los Angeles Rams last season in the final game of the year to preserve Matthew Stafford for the playoffs and threw a pair of touchdowns.

This will be the first time Wentz signs on as an official backup from day one, as he latched on with the Rams mid-way through last season and spent 2022 as the starter for the Washington Commanders before being benched halfway through the season.

Wentz won a Super Bowl while he was injured in 2017 after Nick Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles on a run for the ages, and he’ll now be looking for ring No. 2 as a backup.
