The veteran Quarterback search continues!
The free agency period is slowing down significantly but there still are some good players available. Obviously, the Vikings need a backup QB of some sort. He who shall not be named is off the radar apparently but there are still those who believe it is not dead yet.

Russini says Aaron Rodgers is still on Vikings’ radar, guesses he’ll end up in Minnesota
There may come a day in the future where Dianna Russini looks like the smartest person in the football world. Why? Because the respected NFL insider isn’t backing down from the Aaron Rodgers-Minnesota Vikings connection.
After Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday that the Vikings are not pursuing Rodgers and instead going into the offseason with J.J. McCarthy as QB1, Russini acknowledged that Minnesota isn’t ready to commit to Rodgers while claiming the Vikings haven’t definitely decided they are ‘in’ or ‘out’ on the 41-year-old four-time MVP.
