But ultimately the playoffs are going to write the end of this tale. We'll take another look at it all again soon.

This...It's got to play itself out, no reason to do anything till after the dust settles.

Of course with 3 games to play a lot can happen to change things but it could be a strong market for FA QB's which could make the negotiations tough for both sides. Cousins, Garropalo, Taylor, Bradford, Keenum, Bridgewater, Cutler, Brees.

On the other hand some likely won't hit the market but there are options for teams unwilling to (over)commit before FA. Plus with all the coaches moving and a potential strong rookie class "Bridge" QB's might be the popular types. New coaches/FO might prefer a rookie 'Franchise QB' on the cheap with a middle thirties vet to buy time for the rookie.

Just draft Baker and be done with it...

Lol... I'm on board with that. Regardless of who we keep, I want a shiny new rookie QB and Mayfield is my favorite in this year's class. Reminds me a lot of Wilson and Prescott when they came out.... I think he would be a great fit for the type of game the Vikings want to play.

I agree but he reminds me of Case Keenum. Might be a bad thing to sign Case to a 3 year 54 mil deal and draft Baker to groom.

It's proven that a mobile, accurate QB is a good fit for the type of offense Mike Zimmer wants to run... so I don't see that as a bad thing if we drafted a similar QB.

We could/will win the Super Bowl with Keenum at the helm and there would/will still be questions if we would have been better with someone else

Try to wrap Case up to a fair contract, make Sloter the backup, trade Teddy and Sam, and draft the next Case Keenum.

That's what the Patriots do.

If Case performs well, Sloter or the draft pick becomes trade bait.

How do you trade two QBs that aren't under contract? lol. If you think its possible, please let the league know.
I would be prepared to see Teddy on this roster and Case walk

Hello Vik fans, this is my first post but have lurked here a long time. Been a fan since 68. One other factor that may play into this decision will be Shurmer. If he leaves as I expect he will, depending on who we replace him with, that may play into the type of QB we want for the future.

Not worth it.
