In other words, this MN Vikings team looks a lot different than the one we saw lose vs the LA Rams in the Wild Card round of the 2024 NFL Playoffs. One glaring omission, however, remains in the QB room. After Sam Darnold got the bag (kind of) in Seattle, Kevin O’Connell and his group of QB whisperers turned their focus to Daniel Jones back.
But after a few months inside the Vikings organization, the former No. 6 overall draft pick didn’t like his QB competition chances vs JJ McCarthy this summer, so he bailed for an easier opportunity to win the starting job in Indianapolis vs Anthony Richardson.
Obviously, the Minnesota Vikings’ current QB conversation is being dominated by all the Aaron Rodgers chatter swirling lately, chatter that continued through the weekend. But as expected, KOC and the Vikings front office continue to prepare for life with multiple veteran quarterbacks, including players not nicknamed A-Rodg.
