Wentz Returns to Vikings on One-Year Deal

About this episode

Carson Wentz, a veteran quarterback, returns to the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year deal, adding depth to their quarterback room. After a season-ending shoulder surgery last year, Wentz stepped in for five starts when Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy were injured. His experience, including leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl, makes him a valuable backup option for the Vikings, who aim to return to the playoffs.

Here's more NFL news for March 19th Carson wins is heading back to the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year contract ahead of the 2026 season. The veteran quarterback will bring extra depth to their quarterback room, which already includes Kyler Murray, JJ McCarthy, and Max Brosmer. This move comes after Winx's season ending shoulder surgery last fall. Earlier this year, Winx signed with the Vikings as a backup, but stepped in for five starts when McCarthy got hurt. He played through a serious left shoulder injury, described as a dislocated join with a torn labrum and fracture socket. He had successful surgery on November 11th under head coach Kevin O'Connell's watch. Fans and analysts see this as smart insurance, especially since Murray and McCarthy both have long injury histories. Minnesota is aiming to bounce back as a playoff team, and experienced arms like Winx provides solid back-up options if starters go down. This built his name as a starter with the Philadelphia Eagles, leading them through most of their 2017 Super Bowl winning season before, and injury sidelineed him.

His last full starting year was 2021, with the Indianapolis Colts, and since then he's bounced around as a reliable backup for teams like the commanders, Rams, Chiefs, and now back to the Vikings. For now, Winx will compete with Max Brosmer and Camp, but the Vikings might still chase more quarterbacks via trades, free agency, or the 20. 26 drafts around out the group.
