The Minnesota Vikings acquired quarterback Nick Mullens from the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday in exchange for a 2024 draft pick.
Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond have been vying for the position. The two have split reps in two preseason games and neither stood out. After Saturday night's 17-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, coach Kevin O'Connell refused to endorse either of them.
"They both moved the team and scored a lot of points and we've got a heck of a hard discussion and conversation ahead as a staff and as an organization," O'Connell said. "Although we didn't do that, I still think there were some real teachable moments and then some real moments where we'll be able to evaluate and sort of look at where we are at that position as we kind of restack everything to go into this week to see how
I think the clock is going. We have a lot of jobs that we have to allow to be played out so we feel good about the overall depth of our team.
The offense O'Connell is installing with the Vikings is similar to the one that Mullens played in for the 49ers. He wasn't on the Raiders' depth chart this summer, even though he had one start for the Cleveland Browns.
The new general manager of the Vikings decided to bring back all three of their quarterbacks for training camp. Both Mannion andCousins signed one-year deals. Mond was a third-round pick in the 2021.
