Four former Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks, including Joshua Dobbs and Desmond Ridder, are currently seeking new opportunities as teams finalize their rosters ahead of training camps. Dobbs was cut by the New England Patriots after the team signed Tommy DeVito, while Ridder was dropped by the Green Bay Packers upon Tyrod Taylor's signing. Brett Rypien and Carson Wentz, who have also had stints with the Vikings, are amid their own searches.

Their status will likely be clearer as training camps approach in late July.
