Chiefs to sign former Pro Bowl QB Carson Wentz

The Kansas City #Chiefs are expected to sign Carson Wentz to serve as Patrick Mahomes’ backup in 2024.

The Kansas City Chiefs are adding extra Pro Bowl experience to their quarterback room this offseason.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, former Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Wentz is signing with the Chiefs. The contract is reportedly a one-year deal, and complete details haven’t been released yet.

Wentz was the second overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2017. The Eagles won Super Bowl LII that season after Wentz went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 14.

Wentz spent last season as a backup for the Los Angeles Rams, appearing in two games after being signed on Nov. 8. He won his lone start and was 17 of 24 with two passing touchdowns and a rushing score.

After five seasons in Philadelphia, he had one-season stops with the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders.

The Chiefs had Blaine Gabbert as the backup quarterback last season behind Patrick Mahomes, and the veteran victoriously started the regular-season finale. Wentz has significant game experience and should do a sufficient job, assuming Brett Veach doesn’t bring in anyone else before training camp.

Five former Buccaneers playing in Super Bowl LVIII

There are quite a few former Bucs playing in the big game on Sunday — with a large majority suiting up for Kansas City.

Very few players get the opportunity to play in the Super Bowl.

NFL greats like Tony Gonzalez and Barry Sanders never got to step foot in a championship game. Nevertheless, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has defied the odds and is days away from competing in his fourth Super Bowl in six seasons. Along with him are several former Bucs who will play with him — additionally, one member of the 49ers was also recently in Tampa Bay, so there’s plenty of former Bucs pedigree in the big game on Sunday.

Here’s a list of the former Buccaneers who will participate in the Super Bowl:

7 former Jaguars set to play in Super Bowl LVIII

The Jaguars still haven’t played in a Super Bowl, but a handful of their former players are set to play in the big game in two weeks.

While the Jaguars will hope for better results in the future, a handful of former members of the team are set to compete for a chance at a Super Bowl ring.

Here are seven former members of the Jaguars who are set to play in Super Bowl LVIII (plus another two on the Chiefs’ practice squad):
