As the NFL offseason continues, we draw closer to the start of free agency. Many Minnesota Vikings fans believe the path forward is to sign a veteran to compete with J.J. McCarthy in camp for the starting quarterback spot. Others believe that a trade is necessary, as this team is a quarterback away from being a real contender again. One NFL insider believes it is the former, but not a tenured veteran.
ESPN's Dan Orlovsky, on Get Up, discussed the idea of Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray being a possible solution for Minnesota. Here's what he had to say:
Orlovsky: "I only like it. I do not love it. If I were Minnesota, my number one goal is to trade for Mac Jones, number two would be Aaron Rodgers and then I would entertain Kyler...in Kyler's words, 'I want to be a playmaker'. That's not the role of the QB in this offense. In this offense, [it's being a] point guard..."
The idea of Murray in Minnesota is very tempting. He is set to be released by the Cardinals, barring a last-minute trade, and would be playing on a minimum deal, likely for one year. The Vikings could provide new life for Murray, a former Heisman Trophy winner, as this would be the best offensive line, weapons set, defense, and coaching staff he would have ever had.
The Murray-to-Minnesota situation is one to monitor.
