Kyle Sloter aiming to be the Vikings’ backup quarterback in 2019

With the news coming on Wednesday that Trevor Siemian has decided to sign with the New York Jets, the Minnesota Vikings now only have two quarterbacks under contract for next season.

Obviously, Kirk Cousins has two years remaining on his current deal with the Vikings. But the only other signal-caller on Minnesota current roster is Kyle Sloter.

Sloter has been with the Vikings since the beginning of the 2017 season and he’s been the team’s No. 3 quarterback for the majority of his tenure in the Twin Cities. But with Siemian now gone, the young signal-caller seems poised to take over as Cousins’ backup next season.
