Will the Minnesota Vikings turn to free agency in order to improve the depth of their quarterback group this offseason?

For the 2017 season at least, it seems that the Minnesota Vikings are set with a starting quarterback in Sam Bradford. But Bradford only has one year left on his contract and the status of Teddy Bridgewater’s career in football still remains unknown.

So in just one season, there is a chance that the Vikings’ quarterback depth chart could look nothing like it has in the past three years.

But for this specific offseason, Minnesota needs to figure out their backup quarterback situation for 2017. With Shaun Hill being a free-agent, the inexperienced, 23-year-old Taylor Heinicke is the team’s only healthy backup option in the position group at this moment.

Could the Vikings decide to add a more experienced backup through free agency this offseason or take a shot on developing a new signal caller from the draft instead? Well if they opt to take the free agency route (which seems like the smarter decision right now), who are some of the quarterbacks that could be seen holding a clipboard on the Minnesota sidelines in 2017?
