Vikings re-sign QB Carson Wentz

Kevin Seifert on what the Wentz signing means.

He said what I've posted twice in this thread, already...but, he talks about dropoff in QB play, while I emphasized that we've had to use 3+ starting QBs in 2 of the last 3 seasons.

Same basic issue, plus an ability to have 3 high draft pick QBs in camp for bargain basement pricing.

It's pretty evident to me.

Yes, and I think you were exactly right (except for that bit about Flores being our head coach in 2027). I think the are just not taking any chances, especially considering that QB1 and QB2 have injury histories. 

I also think that the Wentz signing signals JJ staying more than it does JJ leaving. If they really planned on trading JJ this offseason, they would've brought in a much more qualified QB2 than Carson Wentz, who despite all the desperation for QBs around the NFL, sat on his hands all through free agency, training camps and preseason games, only to be signed last minute by the Vikings after they discovered Howell couldn't play. 

And now this guy is going to be your QB2? Behind the oft-injured Murray? I don't buy it. It will be a competition but I think JJ wins QB2. He has to improve, but he just offers so much more than Wentz does.

Mission accomplished. QB room upgraded.

They’re not paying Wentz 3 mil to be the emergency 3rd

Let’s get real here, guys

We'll see it all play out. Its crazy its only March 21st, lol......we've got a LOT of time yet to get anywhere where we know anything definitively. 

BUT......I'm seeing some real safety nets put in place here with this position that leads me to believe anything can happen. It may not be probable, but its undeniably possible.

Technically, this is not about money...this is about maintaining a level of performance security with the quarterback position, so this doesn't blow up in KOC's face like it did last year. (Fingers Crossed).

Yeah, cuz paying Carson Wentz Case-Keenum money is MADNESS considering how much we’ve already got invested in that QB room. Makes me wonder if the Vikings might consider moving Justin Jefferson so we can keep the lights on at TCO.

Yah, KOC has QB PTSD after last season (s)...

I got no issue stacking deep in the QB room and my god what value across the 3, at least for a season. Ultimately up to JJM what he does with his opportunities...

On to the draft!!
