The Minnesota Vikings enter the 2023 offseason with a lot of question marks surrounding their roster, particularly the veterans. There could be a massive exodus of players as nearly two dozen are set to hit unrestricted free agency. One player that they should make an effort to retain is backup QB Nick Mullens, who could potentially be Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins replacement plan.
Ever since acquiring Cousins in free agency during 2018, the Minnesota Vikings have had a backup QB problem. They made half-hearted attempts to fill the role with players like Sean Mannion and even Kellen Mond, but Rick Spielman never made an attempt to get a true quality player behind Cousins.
