Vikings' QB Battle: 4 Contenders, 1 Winner

0:00It's April 3rd. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. The Minnesota Vikings are rolling with four quarterbacks on the roster right now, and no one's locked in as the starter yet. Coach Kevin O'Connell laid it out clear, saying they'll firm up the depth chart before long, but don't expect it before training camp hits preseason. Practices and gains will decide the real battle. They aim for one main guy to lead all 17 games, just like Kurt Cousins did in 2022. And Sam Darnold, in 2024, when the team stacked up a 27 wins to seven losses record over those seasons. The backups look strong, too, with a reliable number two, and potentially Carson wins as the third option. He showed up late last year and still lit it, up better than expected. And now he's in the mix from the offseason. With low expectations after nearly sneaking into the playoffs using three starters last time, this setup could let the Vikings exceed again, keeping that underdog fire. Burning strong.
