Before the Vikings won the Kirk Cousins derby earlier this year, they won the lesser known 3rd String QB derby for Kyle Sloter’s services at the end of pre-season last year.
It was somewhat intriguing after John Elway and the Broncos cut Sloter, as there were a number of teams bidding for Sloter’s services - the Vikings being one of them. The Vikings had Sam Bradford, Teddy Bridgewater, Case Keenum and Taylor Heinike under contract to end training camp, but cut Heinike loose and entered the bidding for Sloter.
