The Minnesota Vikings have quarterback questions for the second straight offseason, this time after letting Sam Darnold leave in free agency. J.J McCarthy is waiting in the wings, but the Vikings remain linked to other options, including Joe Flacco.
Flacco, 40, was the No. 18 overall pick of the 2008 draft by the Baltimore Ravens. He led them to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season and won MVP in the big game.
The 2023 Comeback Player of the Year, Flacco is biding his time and is “in play” for the Vikings.
“Flacco recently visited the Giants. He’s in play, we’re told, for jobs with the Steelers, Browns, and Vikings,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio wrote on March 15. “He can still throw it. And since he was never a mobile quarterback, the aging of the legs (which always go before the arm) has been a non-issue.”
