6 free-agent quarterbacks the Vikings could sign in 2020

The Minnesota Vikings will be in the market for a backup quarterback this offseason. Who are six free-agent options the team could look at?

Last offseason, the Minnesota Vikings signed backup quarterback Sean Mannion to a one-year deal. This means they’ll be in the market for a new backup to Kirk Cousins for 2020.

It is possible the Vikings will find that backup signal-caller in the 2020 NFL Draft. But it seems more likely they will look to the free-agent market for their guy.

If Minnesota does bring in a free agent to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Cousins, it will not be a sexy name. The Vikings are expected to have very little cap space this offseason and they have much more pressing needs to use their money on.

Plus, Cousins has proven to be very durable in his two years with Minnesota and there’s no reason to think this shouldn’t continue in 2020. The future backup will likely be a journeyman-type passer with a skill set very similar to Mannion’s.

There is a fairly lengthy list of free-agent quarterbacks who could be in the price and talent range the Vikings are looking for this year. So let’s take a look at six options Minnesota could bring in as their 2020 backup to Cousins.
