Vikings free agency 2017: What quarterbacks are available?
By Adam Patrick
Josh McCown
- 37-years-old
- 6-foot-4, 212 pounds
Last 16 starts (with the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers):
- 58.7 completion percentage, 3,888 passing yards
- 21 touchdowns, 14 interceptions
14 years and seven teams later, McCown is back in a similar situation this offseason, looking for a new organization to join. After winning three of his five starts back in 2013 while with the Chicago Bears, the quarterback has only two wins in his last 22 starts.
If he even continues to play in the NFL in 2017, it will almost certainly not be as a starter. His recent experience of playing in the NFC North (2011 to 2013 with the Bears) should be a benefit for a team from the division such as the Vikings.
And like Sanchez, McCown seems fine to use as a filler for a few games if need be. Just not as a full-time starter.
