The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> have made significant offensive investments during the 2026 offseason and made a particularly strong effort to secure a capable backup quarterback to list behind Patrick Mahomes on their depth chart.<\/p>\n

After trading for former Chicago Bears<\/a> and New York Jets signal-caller Justin Fields, the Chiefs front office selected former LSU Tigers passer Garrett Nussmeier with the No. 249 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

While Brett Veach was surely satisfied with the talent he had secured at the quarterback position after the draft, he saw fit to bring a few quarterbacks in for tryouts during Kansas City’s rookie minicamp last week \u2014 most notably E.J. Warner, who is the son of legendary NFL quarterback Kurt Warner.<\/p>\n

According to NFL insider Mike Garafolo, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid got a “good look” at Warner over the weekend:<\/p>\n

Despite his efforts during rookie camp, Warner failed to sign a contract with Kansas City and is now headed West to participate in the Denver Broncos<\/a>‘ offseason program.<\/p>\n
