The Minnesota Vikings are entering a pivotal 2026 offseason with quarterback uncertainty at the forefront of their plans.  After J.J. McCarthy’s inconsistent play and injury concerns over his first two years, Minnesota appears intent on bringing in a veteran quarterback to push him and provide experience depth behind that young signal-caller.

Sources suggest that head coach Kevin O’Connell and the front office want a seasoned veteran in the quarterback room.  Some names to be on the watch for could be former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, or rumors have it that Derek Carr could make a comeback.  None less, expect the Vikings to make a trade or sign a quarterback this offseason.
