I don't think we ever see that until terms have been agreed (except in cases where a formal offer is submitted by a deadline for an RFA or such). The FO is likely having discussions with players and their agents which we do not hear about, so it is possible that the Vikings offered Keenum some type of extension last fall - but it may have been something like $30M over 3 years and Keenum rejected it. Similarly, people propose the Vikings should offer Bridgewater a short term deal for something like $5-$7M per year...maybe they have offered! Blame the guy who didn't accept those deals, too.
right, only the inside people know. but they have not offered them a contract extension, and Teddy was inactive when it mattered most (playoffs) meaning they trust Sam more than him at least in that point in time, both off long layovers.
i think if they didnt have question marks one of them would have been given an extension at this point? who the hell knows.
All we know is the Vikings have probably not offered any of their 3 veteran QBs a deal that makes them feel they received enough in terms of both compensation and assurance he is "the guy" - probably "the ONLY guy". Or one of these QBs may have made up their mind to leave Minnesota regardless and stopped negotiating.
