Minnesota already has a clear starting quarterback in Kirk Cousins, but ESPN’s Matt Bowen thinks the team could use another player at that position who has a similar skill set.
Bowen, when asked to come up with the best landing spot for Joe Flacco, mentioned the Vikings.
He had this to say about the Vikings’ quarterback situation:
“They drafted Iowa’s Nate Stanley in the seventh round as a developmental prospect, but adding Flacco — who has experience in play-action/boot systems — would improve the depth behind Kirk Cousins.”
Flacco started eight games for the Broncos last season. He threw for 1,822 yards. He had six touchdown passes and five interceptions. Flacco had neck surgery in April, so he’ll be out of live action until at least August.
I think Flacco would be one of the better backup quarterback options, in terms of what the Vikings can get at this stage in the offseason.
