Vikings
- Jason La Canfora of Sportsboom reports the Vikings are expected to pursue a veteran quarterback this offseason.
- La Canfora, citing multiple league sources, reports J.J. McCarthy has proven to be difficult to develop, and his erratic play contributed to former GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah getting fired.
- One anonymous general manager thinks there are “serious questions” about McCarthy as a franchise quarterback and expects Minnesota to sign veteran competition: “They can say what they want publicly, but they have some serious questions about McCarthy. Look, they’re signing somebody else to push him. And it’s not just going to be some stiff on a vet-minimum contract.”
- The Vikings have updated titles within the coaching staff: Chenzo Funari as Assistant DB coach, Dalmin Gibson as Assistant LB coach, Patrick Hill as Assistant DL coach, and Josh McCown as Offensive Passing Game Coordinator and QB coach.
