The Minnesota Vikings have signed quarterback Carson Wentz to a one-year deal, locking him in for the 2026 season and marking his second. Straight year with the team. He will compete for playing time alongside new free agent Kyler Murray and first round draft pick Jay-J McCarthy from last year. Other clubs like the cheese and jets reached out to the veteran, but Wentz decided to remain in Minnesota despite those options. Last season, the 33-year-old stepped in for an injured McCarthy, starting five games with a two-win three-loss record before shoulder. Surgery sidelined him for good. This set-up gives Wentz his first back-to-back seasons with one franchise since his last year in Philadelphia back in 2020 following stops. With several other teams over his journeyman career.
