The Minnesota Vikings are evaluating their quarterback options with training camp approaching at the end of July. The team has brought back veteran Carson Wentz and continues to consider second-year QB Max Brosmer amidst competition from Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy. As the roster stands, experts believe Brosmer could be at risk of being cut if McCarthy remains on the team, with the Vikings having limited room for four quarterbacks. The situation may push Minnesota to consider trading McCarthy to maintain Brosmer, assuming a clear starter emerges early in the season.
- •Max Brosmer likely faces competition for QB3 spot during camp.
- •Vikings have Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy competing for starting role.
- •Carson Wentz has been re-signed but has injury history.
- •Brosmer had a challenging rookie season after being thrust into duty.
- •A trade of McCarthy could hinge on early season performance.
