I really don't know why Teddy or Case would want to sign with the Vikings. The organization hasn't exactly gone all in on either of them.
IMO all 3 of our quarterbacks will be starters somewhere this upcoming season and it wouldn't surprise me if all 3 take their talents elsewhere
So you think we're getting Cousins?
I guess, but hopefully he isn' given a conract that makes him the highest paid player in the league.....
In all seriousness what does Teddy have to be sad about? I get what could make Case a little butt hurt, but he has a history before Minnesota that needs to be taken into consideration. But the only thing Teddy could be salty about is the last two weeks, but I also think it was a fair move to bring a guy like Bradford back for those 2 games.
Teddy could very well be butt hurt over being deactivated the past 2 games. The fans may think it's fair, the Vikings organization may think it's fair but Teddy's thoughts are what matters.
IMO, the Vikings are probably wanting 1 of their current three but are going to eff it up and end up holding an empty bag. Isn't that the Viking way?
I have no idea who our QB is going to be next year (as I've said before, there are good arguments for and against each one), but I think the least likely candidate is Case Keenum.

I agree, but they could always tag Case at the last minute and then use the 30th pick to draft QB of the future. I hope that' not the route we take, but I'm sure they will have their feelers out on the potential FAs.

Case would be a nice fall back option. I think we know what we have with Case. A flawed QB who can keep you competitive. And if it comes to that, if teams give Sam and Teddy ridiculous contracts, then I'd be OK with that. But if we go with Case, then QB becomes a much higher priority in the draft.
As I've said before, what the team thinks about Sloter will have a lot to say about what their decision is. If they truly LOVE him, then I think Bradford is going to be the guy. If they're unsure, then I think Teddy is the guy. I could be TOTALLY wrong about this, but I don't see too many scenarios where Case is the guy.
WELP.... If nothing else this loss was red meat for the rabidly anti-MN, MN sports media. Can not one news org in MN hire a sports writer who doesn't just hate every team in the state to counter all this??

You never know, Baker could be there @ 30...

Yes, one bad quarter vs New Orleans and 2 turnovers created when he lineman couldn't block and he got hit, or he forced one late just trying to make something happen.
Little in the story had any evidence that the Vikings are gonna roll with Teddy. I am on record as saying, he is my least favorite of the 3 choices - I don't like to just anoint someone the starter after being out 2 years, and not being anything more than middle-of-the pack when he went down. He has skills, but both Sam and Case have shown more on the field.
Agreed. This story is complete conjecture.
Having said that, Bridgewater of course is an option. I think Zimmer loves Teddy. I also don't think the Vikings will be getting anyone like Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins. I also believe that Minnesota likes Sloter very much, which will play into the decision of what they do with Keenum/Teddy/Bradford.

My gut says that when all the tape is watched Mayfield will go early to mid 1st round. What I don't understand is the hype for Josh Allen. Kiper has him #1 overall. I get the size and arm and all that. But there is one thing that you either have or you don't and it doesn't improve in the NFL: accuracy. I think Allen could be Jake Locker Jr.

We are mostly speculating about how Bridgewater feels, but aside from being deactivated for the playoffs, a couple of actions by the Vikings may have made him unhappy:- Declining the 5th year option on his rookie contract.
- Openly discussing tolling his contract to keep him for a 5th year at his 4th-year salary. (I assume it was discussed even more with Bridgewater and his agent.)
Before someone responds with telling me how logical both those actions were as business decisions for the team - Right On, I agree! But are you certain that a 25-year-old athlete who has lived with BMOC treatment since high school does not feel that the organization owes him more than "logical business decisions"?
He might be ticked that he wasn't automatically given "his" starting job back in the middle of this season, or he might have been POed when Bradford was brought in. A lot of fans make HUGE assumptions about how humble and selfless and devoted to the Vikings Bridgewater allegedly is.

I heard from a pretty reliable source that Teddy was OK with the contract issue last summer when all the tolling talk was taking place. things have changed, but at that time he was ok with the toll, but he wants to be the man, not a back up.
