A big reason for why the Minnesota Vikings took the plunge last offseason and signed Kirk Cousins to a monster contract was so that they wouldn’t have to worry about finding a new starting quarterback for at least three years.
Just because the Vikings still have Cousins under center for another two seasons though, it doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be still planning for the future of the position as well.
On Sunday, Minnesota reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with quarterback Sean Mannion according to the Pioneer Press’ Chris Tomasson. With the Vikings, Mannion will be given the opportunity to compete with Kyle Sloter for the team’s backup job behind Cousins.
