Vikings urgently need veteran quarterback replacements

nbcsports.com

The Minnesota Vikings are in search of a veteran quarterback after losing three last week. They currently have J.J. McCarthy and Brett Rypien on their roster but have not added anyone else yet. There are many talks around Aaron Rodgers potentially joining the Vikings. Reports suggest that the team is waiting to see what Rodgers decides before looking at other options. The Vikings are not alone; other teams like the Steelers and Giants are also interested in him. However, if these teams keep waiting for Rodgers, they risk losing out on other quarterbacks. It's uncertain who the Vikings' second choices are, as they seem hesitant about promoting McCarthy, their young quarterback. The Vikings appeared interested in keeping players like Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones, but their current intentions are unclear. The ongoing silence suggests they might still want Rodgers. If they did not, they likely would have signed someone already. If Rodgers chooses another team, the Vikings will need to quickly consider other quarterbacks. Options could include Joe Flacco or Jameis Winston, who could serve as backup to McCarthy or even become the starter for next season.
