The Vikings remained publicly agnostic about their quarterbacking options at the NFL combine; coach Mike Zimmer laid out the strengths and weaknesses of all his in-house candidates, while general manager Rick Spielman batted away a report that the Vikings have decided not to use the franchise tag on Case Keenum and said the team had not made a decision on any of its options.
Privately, though, the team gave indications it was marshaling resources for a run at Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins, assessing its salary cap situation for the lucrative contract Cousins would receive while grousing about the flurry of rumors that could serve to drive up the price of free-agent quarterbacks.
