The Minnesota Vikings could be heading for a exclusive form of quarterback hell if they are unable to prolong Kirk Cousins by midday on Monday. The Vikings are reportedly thinking about adding two former first-round busts at quarterback for the New York Jets.
Justin Fields and Trey Lance are in the mix
The Vikings have been linked to Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance within the last week. But a couple of new candidates have emerged in the quarterback market for Minnesota.
The Minnesota Vikings ought to alternate for Zach Wilson
Per Zach Rosenblatt with The Athletic, the Vikings choose Baker Mayfield. But the team would possibly have to settle with trading for Zach Wilson and signing Sam Darnold to have both compete in education camp for the beginning job in the upcoming season:
Let’s get wild. If the Vikings lose Cousins, their top target will be Mayfield. But if Mayfield doesn’t hit free agency, Minnesota would possibly attempt to take a flier on a younger alternative with some upside. Darnold has by no means been in specially triumphing conditions as a starter however no one has ever wondered his arm talent. After a yr in Kyle Shanahan’s system, he would possibly be ready for every other shot at beginning — though it’s viable Justin Jefferson (desiring a new contract) would no longer be extremely joyful with this arrangement.
In 2021, some with the Jets desired to keep Darnold and draft Wilson and now the Vikings have the danger to play out that dream. Wilson is on his way out in New York but in the proper environment, with the right coaching, he still has the intelligence to, at worst, be a high-end backup. Minnesota is a good fit.
Wilson and Darnold’s scenario was once supposed to be a wild prediction, however the prediction has some wings.
Two New York Jets busts with the Minnesota Vikings?
Per Darren Wolfson with KTSP, the Vikings are involved in Darnold and Wilson. The Vikings are seriously thinking about Darnold, and the crew has carried out “some homework” on Wilson.
The Jets selected Daronald with the No. three select in the 2018 NFL Draft. After now not working out in New York, the Jets chose Wilson with the No. two pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now, each busts could be attempting to resurrect their careers in Minnesota.
How is Justin Jefferson going to experience about that?
