The Vikings have indeed re-signed QB Carson Wentz. Given the depth issues they've faced at the position in 2023, and again in 2025, they want to minimize the risk of having an inexperienced QB on the field in 2026.
And for those riding KOC's jock too hard, keep this in mind:

The Vikings have used three or more QBs twice in Kevin O'Connell's four seasons, so the plan was to have depth entering 2026. They get it with the return of Carson Wentz, who is entering his 11th NFL season.

As QB2, I don't love it, but we could do worse. As QB3, this is a no-brainer.

Somehow fans will find a way to say this doesn’t at all prove the Vikings have lost all faith in JJ McCarthy.

The other day someone was mentioning Brosmer and I *almost* said I'd rather have Wentz back than him. Hopefully that's exactly what this is. Brosmer is so far away there's no realistic projection for him helping this team that seemingly is obsessed with winning SOON.
If I read later that the Vikings have traded JJM to Harbaugh or McVay guys I'm gonna be in a dark place with this team.

My very, very strong guess is Wentz is QB3. KOC can't get caught again with prolific injuries at QB with his pants down.
I would say Minnesota is definitely not trading JJM.....unless someone comes hard on Draft day. Not sure why someone would, but.....also if Greenard gets moved, it be very close to the Draft or ON Draft day.

Seconded. JJM certainly has an injury history all over his young career, Kyler's is arguably worse, so having a real third option is just smart.
Plus, Wentz earned another shot. He was a helluva soldier for us last season.
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I think this is extremely unlikely. But I will say this: Two weeks ago, I thought the idea that the Vikings could trade JJ laughable, impossible. I no longer think that.

I think they'd be fools if they did it. There's still a LOT of untapped potential in the kid. But if there's some kind of rancor brewing between coach and QB, all bets are off. Especially if the Vikings could replace him with a player with similar untapped potential in Anthony Richardson.
