None of the names included in the first wave of cuts are surprising outside of quarterback Brett Rypien. It’s not as though the Vikings were going to keep four quarterbacks, but Rypien may have been a candidate for the practice squad. With three signal callers on the 53-man roster though, that likely became redundant.

The Vikings worked out Carson Wentz on Saturday, per a report. Here's what that could mean and what Minnesota's QB depth chart currently looks like.

Kevin O'Connell and Wes Phillips have become quite the pairing when it comes to playcalling and designing offenses that help quarterbacks. We saw it last year with Sam Darnold, and now anytime a player gets added to the team, we immediately see them in a new light as a result.

Carson Wentz is back in the NFL and Sam Howell is on the move again. The Minnesota Vikings have signed Wentz to back up quarterback J.J. McCarthy and traded Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles are sending a 2026 fifth-round pick and 2027 seventh-rounder to Minnesota for Howell and a 2027 sixth-rounder.
