@alec_lewis My prediction is they trade JJ (probably for pennies) and then trade for Richardson. Much like swapping out Howell for Wentz at the end of TC last year.
@TPPSkol The no-tag clause is the problem here. If Kyler has the big season we're all hoping for, he'd be dumb to sign an extension without hitting the open market first - he'd be the best QB to hit FA in a long time. So best case is JJ has that season, if only for the team control.
@DDuggan21 So the Giants had two top-10 picks and took two guys capable of playing premium positions but will actively choose to not play them at premium positions. Got it
@DailyNorseman No. I was all aboard the JJ train at this time last year - didn't want to pay Darnold. But JJ didn't just struggle, he was *historically* bad. The likes of bad that has basically never seen a QB pull out of the depths of.
Tier 6: Hell no, trade edition
10. Daniel Jones
11. Mac Jones
Both these guys are average starters, at best, and not leading you to the Super Bowl. Not giving up a day 2 pick for that, especially with all the guys above who you don't have to give up draft picks for.
Tier 2: Healthy "competition"
2. Anthony Richardson
3. Tua
4. Geno Smith
These are guys you'd expect JJ to beat in a camp battle (and if you don't, you have your JJ answer) but would be okay options to keep the wheels on the season if JJ proves to be a disaster again.
Tier 5: Hell no, starter edition
7. Aaron Rodgers
8. Derek Carr
9. Kirk Cousins
This is with the assumption that these guys would only sign here if they're guaranteed to start. None of these guys are winning you a Super Bowl. Getting a definitive answer on JJ > going 10-7.
Vikings QB options, tiered and ranked, a ๐งต:
Tier 1: Present and future
1. Kyler Murray
The best QB on this list for the 2026 season, and the only one who realistically has a chance to be the long-term answer. The fact he'll be had for the vet min makes it a no-brainer.
Super Bowl betting is expected to break a record again this year with more than $1.7 billion to be bet across legal US sportsbooks, according to LSR estimates published in partnership with the Sports Betting Alliance. https://t.co/9Ukxc2EVa7
