The Minnesota Vikings are hoping to win what should be a competitive NFC North in 2025, but they have one major issue that could prevent that: quarterback depth. After making the decision to enter the year with second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy as the starter, the Vikings have spent the last few days searching for an adequate backup.
After an underwhelming preseason from Sam Howell and Max Brosmer, Minnesota traded Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles and signed Carson Wentz to be QB2. Of course, the hope in Minnesota is that McCarthy will stay healthy. Additionally, Wentz as a backup isn't the worst thing, but the Vikings could have had a much better quarterback room.
